The Lord Jesus led me to read Psalms 119:105-112 ESV.
Back in the early 1980s, when my children were still quite young, and I was a young mother of four, I had a situation in a church with the leadership misjudging me, and honestly, not being very nice about it, either. The pastor said to me...
“Jesus said to them, ‘Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’”
“’How is it that you fail to understand that I did not speak about bread? Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’ Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of...
Our God, the One and Only True God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – is absolutely amazing! His grace is amazing! He loves us so much that he, Jesus Christ, God the Son, died on a cross for our sins. He died that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. He died, not just to free us from the...

My baptism, sometimes, helps me overcome
the bumps in the road;
there’s nowhere but up.
I learn to better trust others
(didn’t two hands take me under?)
when I recall the drenching of myself,
all coverings for naught,
and all of me rising body, mind, and soul
to clapping affirmations from others...
We all experience trials in this life, at least to some extent. Some people seem to have more than their fair share of them, though, while others appear to be relatively trouble free. But appearances can be deceiving. We don’t really know what goes on in other people’s lives unless we know them...
This phrase, “the walking wounded” came into my mind one day, and it stayed with me for a while. I had some idea of what it meant, but not entirely, so I Googled it to find its meaning. And I found these definitions:
• “People who have been injured in a battle or major accident but who are...
Let’s have a show of hands. How many of us, when we go through tough trials, immediately count it all joy? How many of us delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, and in difficulties? How many of us, when people hate us, when they exclude us and insult us and reject our...
A voice cries:
“In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord;
make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be lifted up,
and every mountain and hill be made low;
the uneven ground shall become level,
and the rough places a plain.
And the glory of the Lord...
“And they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. And he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. And he...
Confronting Distinguished Bigots
WHILE GROWING UP as an American Protestant with intellectual pretensions, I always wondered why Catholics made such a fuss over Columbus Day. Didn’t they see the irony in the fact that although Columbus was a Catholic, his voyage of discovery was accomplished...
“And they came to Bethsaida. And some people brought to him a blind man and begged him to touch him. And he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village, and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, ‘Do you see anything?’ And he looked up and said...
After reading the story told by Jesus of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32):
What I hold the most dear on this earth,
among those things we would count as providential blessings,
would I begrudge my bitterest enemy receiving any of them, even if it meant that the gift to him was a sign of God’s...
I had a dream a couple of nights ago. I was on a bus traveling through Iowa—SD. The sun looked several times larger than usual and turned a more red color. Suddenly, the ground beneath us began to move, and we slid for some distance. Or rather it slid beneath us. The sun then became smaller and...
Hillariah said, "All that we can manage to do is all that we should do, nothing beyond what we can do would be required. We would not be accountable for anything further than what can be done. So we know to not build beyond what is really needed, and not from ambition for more, we will live that...
LISTEN, FOLKS, TO WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS! THIS COMES FROM
THE BOOK OF LUKE:*
As He [Jesus] entered a village, there met Him ten men who were lepers,
who stood at a distance. They lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus,
Master, have pity on us!” When He saw them, He said to them,
“Go, show...
Now the disciples “had forgotten to bring bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. And he cautioned them, saying, ‘Watch out; beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.’ And they began discussing with one another the fact that they had no bread. And Jesus...
After reading this from Psalm 22:26 (MEV):
…They who seek the Lord will praise him - may
your hearts live forever!
And also thinking about that street phrase,
"Don't be so heavenly-minded that you're no
earthly good"
Just how grounded is untethered faith?
Is it “no earthly-good” to be...
