The Heartbreak of Being Human

I have not forgotten the heartbreak of being human. Especially not now when the joy of my existence in Christ is fully engaged within. I have not forgotten the pain, the pain now witnessed in tears of stone. Most every countenance I see is an exquisite miniature tragedy, played out on a 9 to 5…

Wickedness Will Not Stand

The wicked do not have a fear of God and therefore their days are shortened, and things do not work out well for them. (Ecclesiastes 8:8-13)  There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that…

Thanking God for the Good and the Evil

It’s funny how my first Bible memory verse has stuck with me all these –what? Sixty-four years or so? I Thessalonians 5: 18. I can still see my dear mother sitting down and reading it to me and helping me begin to memorize it. I can still see her loving hands gently placing the black…

Setting our heart’s to understand

There is more than one place in scripture where we learn that if a persons heart is converted unto the Lord it will then understand His ways and be healed!(Acts 28:25-27),  And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the…

Be Still, Be Patient–Waiting for God in the Telecommunication Age

Tweets, tiny phones, and instant electronic mail producing photos of friends’ faces in vibrant color–friends you’ve been longing to see and couldn’t until the seeming miracle of telecommunications in the 21st Century happens upon you.  It’s intoxicating to ride this speeding bullet we now call our life,  careening now down through time at the speed…

The signs of a true christian

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord…

…With Me from the Beginning
