Thanks to Kim for the awesome reminder from the Word of God! “He replied, ‘Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: “These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me.’” Mark 7: 6 The above was one of the verses used at our church this past Sunday! What powerful words, “these people HONOR ME with their lips, but their HEARTS are FAR FROM ME!”How often do we Praise and…
Today I was thinking of 1 Samuel chapter 5, when the Philistines took the Ark of God and set it next to their god Dagon. The next morning, Dagon had fallen and parts had broken off. They set Dagon back up, and then the next time they checked Dagon had fallen once again and broken. They decided, since they didn’t want to lose their own idol, to get rid of the Ark of God… (see 1 Sam 5.7). It is…
Thank You for joining me today! Enjoy His Truth! “For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich man will fade away even while he goes about his business.” James 1: 11 What is important in this life? Beauty? Riches? Our jobs? Status? Our homes? Cars? Boats? As the above verses say, they are all going to wither, be destroyed and/or fade away! This…
Ephesians 4.1-16 (text at bottom) Subject sentence: Walk worthy of the calling: the effectual working of each part of the body – joined and working according to what each joint supplies – increases/enlarges the body, building in pure (agape) love!

Thank You for joining me today! May His Word uplift and strengthen you for THIS day! “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

“BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, to be envied) is everyone who fears, reveres, and worships the Lord, who walks in His ways and lives according to His commandments. For you shall eat [the fruit] of the labor of your hands; happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) shall you be, and it shall be well with you. Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house; your children shall be like olive plants round about your table. Behold, thus…
“For this reason [seeing the greatness of this plan by which you are built together in Christ], I bow my knees before the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, For Whom every family in heaven and on earth is named [that Father from Whom all fatherhood takes its title and derives its name]. May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy]…
Great Bible study from Kim! … I have set before you: LIFE and DEATH, BLESSINGS and CURSES.

It has been said that everyone loves a great mystery. My Bible study today was about a “mystery” which Christ let us in on. The mystery given to us to know (Matt 13.11; Luke 8.10), that we’re cautioned NOT to be ignorant of (Rom 11.25), and that we are STEWARDS of! (1 Cor 4.1). This mystery was hidden before Christ, but now is made known to us (Col 1.26). This mystery gives our lives eternal purpose and value. Mystery: something…
1st verse-“And if you spend yourselves on behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.” Isaiah 58: 10 There are so many of us that share the Word together each day that are struggling financially, some fall into the category of “being hungry”, some “are opressed”, weighed down and some are both! This is a very tough, intense time in many…
