One of my favorite quotes is, “Dreams don’t work unless you do.” It reminds me of Nehemiah. Nehemiah had a dream to rebuild the walls of his city and help his people. It was a lofty dream and had he not worked extremely hard to make it happen it would have simply remained a dream. […]
Last night we had a good discussion on forgiveness in Bible class and we talked about Luke 17:3-4. Luke 17:3-4 says, “Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns […]
Jer. 9:23-24 says, ”Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, […]
All week long I’ve been seeing commercials for the Victoria’s Secret fashion show and it brought up some thoughts I’ve been having lately about where this idea of everyone having to be sexy all of the time came from. The word sexy actually means, “Sexually attractive or exciting.” It is arousing and stimulating, hardly how […]
Acts 20:35 says, “I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Tis the season for gift giving and making merry, but is it always better to give? […]
It’s Thanksgiving in the U.S. today and as I know you’re probably spending time with your family I’ll keep this Thursday’s Thought short and sweet. I believe we’re all thankful for our family and friends, food to eat and forgiveness of sins. We’ve been sharing what we’re thankful for all week on the Facebook page. […]
In the second chapter of Jeremiah he confronts Israel about turning away from God after idols. If you read the entire chapter you can hear God’s heartbreak over this in His words. Jer. 2:5 says, “Thus says the Lord: “What injustice have your fathers found in Me, that they have gone far from Me, have followed idols, […]
Forgiveness is one of those things that everyone finds hard to give but everyone needs. And in my new book Awakening Love there is an entire chapter on the subject of true faithful forgiveness. Rom. 3:23 says we’ve all sinned. Sometimes we sin against each other and sometimes we sin against ourselves, but all sins […]
Have you ever felt like God wasn’t listening to you? My husband and I are house hunting and we thought we’d found the perfect house for us but we got beat by a higher offer and I was crushed. I loved that house and had prayed fervently and without doubt but it wasn’t to be. […]
Last night in Bible class the teacher was making a point about how thankful he was to now know the truth having come from a popular denomination. He said that he was studying with a relative before he knew the truth, and was floored by one question he was asked. He said before his […]
My husband and I recently went to the theater and saw the new movie Gravity. We marveled at God’s earth, the views and graphics in the film were nothing short of amazing. I won’t spoil the film for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet but at one point the main character wants to give […]
Moses’ humility saved the Israelites from destruction, Esther’s courage saved the Jews from massacre, Abigail’s discretion saved her household from David’s wrath and Nehemiah’s leadership saved the returning Jews from desolation. Just like physical superpowers can save physical lives, spiritual superpowers can save souls. Mark 16:15 says, “And He said to them, “Go into all […]
