Do Not Fear

Do you know how many times in God tells us to ‘fear not’, ‘do not fear’ or ‘do not be afraid’? I don’t either. It has been said that there are 365 ‘fear not’s in the Bible, one for everyday of the year. Others have searched and found only 100. Whatever, the number, it is …

A Recall Notice

This ‘notice’ has been posted around the internet before but having it come back around recently just brought to my mind just how important its point is on why we need Jesus, why sin is such a big deal and why we can’t just get by with it.  The Maker of all human beings (GOD) …

Been There…

Have you ever seen that T-shirt that reads:  “My parents went to California and all I got was this T-shirt?” Well friends, Jesus came to Earth….and we get way more than a T-shirt! Maps show us where some one else has already been, right? Warning signs keep us on the right road……. The need for road …

My Hope

David said….. “Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope”   Act 2:26 God loved man so much that he made a garden for him and provided all he needed…at that point, Adam had no need for hope. Right? But then Adam fell – and he fell …

Let The Children Come

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”  Matthew 19:14 As Jesus said above, let the children come. I believe He also meant for them to be born…and so does the Brown family. Watch this inspiring video about their …

The Purpose Of Practice

What is the purpose of practice?   Practice means you haven’t mastered something yet, but are working on it.  Here’s a simple definition from the dictionary, Practice-  repeated performance or systematic exercise for the purpose of acquiring skill or proficiency.  It’s the work we do so it doesn’t look like it took any effort at …

Whatever The Day May Bring

Whatever your day has brought you – PRAISE HIM! If it brought you sun, praise HIM – If it brought you rain, praise HIM If it brought you a bonus, praise HIM – If it brought you an unemployment check, praise HIM If it brought you a new car, praise HIM – If it brought …

Blessed

Are there days when you feel “blessed”?  Days when the sun is shining and all is right with your world?  We all have had that sense that the sun is shining on us and God likes us.  I know that feeling as well as most, but today was a day when you might not use …

Where Is Goodness & Joy?

The other day I was talking with a friend that I had not talked to in a while. Knowing that she had been through a deep, horrible loss with the death of her beloved brother, I emailed her to let her know I was thinking of her and praying for her. Through a series of …

Hope In Emptiness

I love that with the Resurrection there is hope in hopeless situations. I love that even though it looks like things will end, that the beginning is right there in Christ, A new beginning in Christ. I love that when I feel that all is lost, the SONrise will remind me that the day can …

Letting Go

Letting go is one of the most difficult things ever. You know I’m telling the truth here! It doesn’t matter what “it” is, it is hard to let go. Letting go means you place 100% trust in whomever you are letting things go to. It means that you have confidence in that person to handle …

Becoming Animals

It’s interesting living in the culture we do. In this post-modern culture, or whatever it’s called now,  there is a wholesale abandonment  of belief in God.  At university level the statistics say that 70% or more of Christian kids will abandon their faith and become agnostic or atheist. The culture at large is moving away …

Kissed By Jesus – Rick Pino

You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you. Song of Solomon 4:7

Never Alone

My heart is amazed at just how big this world is and how technology can keep us in touch with those who have moved away from us.  But sometimes, my heart is even more amazed at just how alone we can feel even though people are close to us physically as well as through technology.  …

Desperate Days

My soft-hearted receptionist came back to tell me there was a lady in real need in our reception area and she didn’t want to just send her away empty handed. I met with Nancy.  It’s hard to know how best to help at times. Is this person just begging for a living or is this …

Modeling Christ

“Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.” -Paul, 1 Corinthians 11: Paul did something I have not seen others do.  He offered himself as the model of what a Christ follower should look like.  As I read these words this morning they once more stopped me to think about what that would …

Giants

  Guys are huge! Huge! Especially if you are a little girl, you look up and see a mighty man towering over you, your heart trembles a little. Men are giants in the eyes of children I remember as a little, tiny girl being afraid of those towering giants in my life. There were only …

Thankful For…

Our days seem to get so busy, our time escapes us and our hearts can be so heavy.  During all of these times, we not only should pray, but praise. I hope you will spend some time just thanking the Lord.  Thanksgiving needs to be a daily thing for us. I’m thankful for: Spend some …
