John 21:15-17 ESV
When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He...
I am not going to write much on this subject today. You can listen to the video, if you are able. I asked the Lord if he wanted me to do a video talk today and he put this title in my head, “His Timing is Perfect.”
Basically, we all have things we are going through in this life, and not...
By Alfred C. Snead / George C. Stebbins
Fully surrendered—Lord, I would be,
Fully surrendered, dear Lord, to Thee.
All on the altar laid,
Surrender fully made,
Thou hast my ransom paid;
I yield to Thee.
Fully surrendered—life, time, and all,
All Thou hast given me held at Thy call.
Speak but...

See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.” NIV

And see if there be any grievous way in me...
*I know this is not Father’s Day today, but the subject matter here is that of abuse, specifically the abuse coming from a father, but this can extend to abuse coming from anyone in a position of rule and authority over others. So this can include the abuse inflicted by any parent, spousal...
Ephesians 4:32 NIV
“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”
In this video talk I make reference to a song sung by Whitney Houston. The song is titled, “I Have Nothing.” It is considered a romantic or a love song of sorts, but this is...
“Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help
and rely on horses,
who trust in chariots because they are many
and in horsemen because they are very strong,
but do not look to the Holy One of Israel
or consult the Lord!” (Isaiah 31:1 ESV)
Be very careful who you believe and who you put...
Hymn lyrics and Music by A. B. Simpson, 1891
Once it was the blessing, now it is the Lord;
Once it was the feeling, not it is His Word;
Once His gift I wanted, now the Giver own;
Once I sought for healing, now Himself alone.
Once ‘twas painful trying, not ‘tis perfect trust;
Once a half...
Isaiah 30:1-5,8-11 ESV
“Ah, stubborn children,” declares the Lord,
“who carry out a plan, but not mine,
and who make an alliance, but not of my Spirit,
that they may add sin to sin;
who set out to go down to Egypt,
without asking for my direction,
to take refuge in the protection of...
Psalms 92:1-4 NASB
“It is good to give thanks to the Lord
And to sing praises to Your name, Most High;
To declare Your goodness in the morning
And Your faithfulness by night,
With the ten-stringed lute and with the harp,
With resounding music on the lyre.
For You, Lord, have made me joyful by...

Rejoice, the Lord is King!
Your Lord and King adore;
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing,
And triumph evermore;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
Jesus, the...
“Blessed be the Lord, my rock,
who trains my hands for war,
and my fingers for battle;
he is my steadfast love and my fortress,
my stronghold and my deliverer,
my shield and he in whom I take refuge,
who subdues peoples under me.” (Psalms 144:1-2 ESV)
I used to believe that...
Romans 12:9-10 NIV
“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.”
If we love God with this kind of love, we prefer what God prefers. And he prefers what is holy, righteous, godly, morally pure, honest...
Philippians 2:14-16
“Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of...
By Anna L. Goghill and Lowell Mason, 1854,1864
Scripture: Mark 13:34; John 9:4
Work, for the night is coming,
Work through the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling,
Work ’mid springing flow’rs.
Work when the day grows brighter,
Work in the glowing sun;
Work, for the night is coming...
“Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing...

and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.”
As followers of Jesus Christ we are to be led of the Spirit of God. Now, in order to be led of the Spirit of God we...
“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.” (2 Peter 3:18 NIV)
When I read this one verse, I wanted to know the context, so I read through all of 2 Peter 3 to get the context. And the context has to do with the return of...
“Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you...
Hymn lyrics by James Rowe, 1912
Music by Howard E. Smith
I was sinking deep in sin, far from the peaceful shore,
Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more,
But the Master of the sea heard my despairing cry,
From the waters lifted me, now safe am I.
All my heart to Him I give, ever to...
