Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. T.E.A.M. – Teaching, Encouraging, Admonishing, Ministering I have never seen an American pastor, of any teams that have been down here, reprimand the praise and worship leader of […]
Return
Hosea 6:1 Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. We are all just one lucky punch, romantic flirt, temper tantrum, click on thecomputer, slip on a banana peel, mistake at work, traffic accident away from what we would refer to as the point […]
Acceptance
Genesis 4:6-7 The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.” The modern term for acceptance is validation. People need […]
Shine
Numbers 6:24-26 The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance[a] upon you and give you peace. Shine means to give out a bright light. God’s light, shining out of his face, onto you!! What an interesting blessing, but what is it? It is a blessing […]
New Year
My life, as I know it, seemed to come to an end last night. Well at least I felt that way. I carried six boxes of baby food to a little pocket of people down a slippery path. Didn’t weigh much, it’s baby food. Got home, took my shoes off and sat barefoot in our […]
Pain
Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. King James of Scotland dressed as a beggar and walked among the poor to feel their pain […]
Lines
Psalms 16:6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. If you don’t like waiting in lines, do not live in a developing country. I never liked lines. The Army ruined my taste for them. Children love lines, like waiting for food, presents, or a piñata. They […]
Finders Keepers
Genesis 4:9 Then the LORD said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I don’t know,” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?” Caine was in big trouble. He just bumped off his brother Abel because God accepted Abel’s sacrifice of a first born, choice lamb. Caine was also mad because God rejected his […]
BusYness
Luke 2:49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? Wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business? When people tell me they are ‘slammed’ or ‘busy’ I get frustrated! We are all busy. Relationships should always take precedence over agendas. Especially if you are a follower of Christ. Being […]
Tithe
Hebrews 7:9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. A tithe literally means 10%. I learned in seminary that theologians love to argue. Worst of all, theologians aren’t very kind people as a rule. FB proves it even more. Arguing is sin, because it’s vanity. Paul said in […]
