IT’S MONDAY DID YOU KNOW - The Bible was written in three languages: Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek. SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY: We want to avoid any criticism of the way we administer this liberal gift [the money that had been given for the Chr.....Read more at Your Daily Gospel.

For centuries “Christian manhood” was the ideal for men in Western Civilization. From the days of “knights in shining armor” in the Middle Ages until the 20th century, the rule of law based upon Scripture directed...
Well Sunday did not turn out all relaxing, but mostly. I had to deal with problems that were started by someone who apparently has a problem with me, but yet that person instead of telling me goes and spreads some lies about me to my family. It is okay. I know I did make some mistakes and that I...
I just launched a new Christian website which provides spiritual information to all, including daily scripture, daily devotional studies, neat books and some inspirational images. It's still very early in the development but I thought I should get this out there for all to see. Check it out...
While nothing will ever pale in comparison to the trials Paul went through, I can relate in a small way to what he was talking about in the book of Corinthians. I have this part of my life that I want to make disappear but not only am I in a position where I must embrace it daily but I hear the...
Sunday is a day that is just as great for relaxing. However, if I find a job and can have to work on Sunday it is not a problem for me since I believe that Sabbath is the Seventh Day. It depends on the week, because it can be just as relaxing as my Saturdays or very busy like the rest of the...
Well I decided to give this contemporary service a try again today. The last time that I went even though I got there early there were no places to sit. Today I went to first service, and ended up being the only one there until about ten minutes before the first service started. :o Well at any...
It is about my third week here in Berrien Springs, MI. It is a Friday evening and I have things pretty much prepared for the Sabbath Day. I look forward to Church and the Rest that I will get in not having to look for a job or run errands. I praise the Lord for the blessings He has already given...
Hmmmmm....
So, I think I finally heard the problem from Your point of view again. Like I said to a friend on the phone this morning, I feel like the PosterChild for forgiveness and longsuffering, below You and a number of other Saintly ones who have peopled the Earth at different points in...
I was presented some information that I wish I was never given. (It is strange how people think they are helping but gossiping really just hurts) This information cut me deep and the pain of it made me want justice, I was angry at all the parties involved and felt like I had to say...
I know people who share these types of chain messages. It makes me sad... I want to tell them sharing that picture/message will do nothing for them but I am sure the response will be "what does it hurt?". When will people realize a change within is what will change lives? When will people...
When it really hits the fan and I pray, I fast and go to church and search for God and … no answer. When I am hurting and can’t take it and call out again: God, help me … small answer but the hurt still stabs like a spoon through my spleen … Where are you God, I need you now more than ever...
High standards. You shouldn't hold your friends in such high regard that they have nowhere to go but down. You can't expect them to do everything that you think they should. The point of friendship is loving someone for who they really are.
My pastor says something like this: "God cannot be...
Excerpt from the excellent Forward to a wonderful little book:
To be saved we must all personally and willingly trust Him. These statements can all be found among the promises of the Bible. But the same Bible that affirms that all people must repent and believe in Jesus in order to be saved...
I like to build hotrods. I have a 1990 Mustang GT I work on, when it was factory fresh it would drive and perform as good as any other car on the road, it served its purpose. I did things like build a performance engine, add a supercharger, and install a performance clutch… After equipping the...
When everything feels overwhelming and it seems like no one is there to care, please hold on. We are never alone - Christ is here for us.
I always picture my hand reaching up, and His reaching down to grab hold of my hand. I don't have to hold me up - He will pick me up. No matter what we...
I died today. I tried… I just don’t know what to say. I just knew God chose her for me. I remember praying for God to send me a companion, I was alone for so long. I remember the first time I saw her, I thought to myself ”what a beautiful woman”. We took things slow, we dated and I fell head...
My Child,
You may not know me, but I know everything about you . I know when you sit down and when you rise up. I am familiar with all your ways (Ps. 139: 1-3). Even the very hairs on your head are numbered (Matt. 10: 29-31). For you were made in my image (Gen. 1: 27). In me you live...
Let that soak in for a moment... if you belong to Jesus, there is NOTHING that can separate you from His grasp. You are His eternally and nothing you have done or will do can separate you from Him, on the same token, nothing you will ever do can earn this gift. God's grace blesses us. The LORD...
Please God, give me the strength to not ask you to stop working on me through this pain. I just want to cry out for relief but I am changing, I am caring...I hurt and cry and I see so much more now. I see the needy where once I just walked by, I pray for the lost and suffering and my heart hurts...
