Jesus is The Real Genius in Our Lives

I was joking around with my son-in-law Chris about possibly being a genius because he had gotten my wireless printer function working on my new lab top. Later I was joking with my daughter Amanda that she might also be a genius, because she had given me a soft fuzzy…

Preparing For The Apocalypse That is Written About in Scriptures
•
I suspect some people want to warn others about the pending apocalypse to fend it off a little while longer or to avoid needless suffering. I believe it will come according to prophecy whenever or however it is meant to be. Yet, we do not need to be afraid because…

Nothing is Easy About Temptations

Messianic Sermon on 1 Cor 5:6-8 and Luke 13:20-21
•
I enjoyed another Sermon from Congregation Beth Hallel in Roswell, Georgia. The Shabbat Jan 24-25 “The Secret Ingredient” could have also been entitled, A Little Leaven Leads To Heaven.

We Can Face Tomorrow

Praying With Someone vs Praying For Someone

At a Christmas Dinner, Gary kept talking to me about John 14:14. Gary mentioned the Scripture at least ½ dozen times as we spoke. I finally heard the Lord and knew He wanted me to receive it on a deeper level. Gary also made sure my daughter Amanda was hearing…

The Father of Humility Never Leaves Us
•
The opposite of being humble is to be arrogant. Humility comes from knowing God and the truth about God. Seeking God and knowing Him better brings humility because God himself is humble.

The Search For the Lord and His Understanding

Sometimes God Leads Us to Unexpected Places
•
As an early Christian, God helped me understand that superstitions did not pertain to me as a child of God. I had been previously concerned about superstitions, especially about Friday the 13th. He made it clear in His Scriptures that He wanted me to trust in Him instead. In September,…

God Makes Everything Worthwhile

I was playing an electronic game of Solitary on my cell phone and won the game quickly. I wondered, “What would be the difference if I played it with Jesus?”. I had recently read a passage of Scripture that talked about our days on earth being short and we needed…

Mutual Respect and Love

We are Unique. As God’s people our gifts and abilities are for the common good of God’s Kingdom here on Earth. 1 Corinthians 12:6-7 explains that there are different and diverse styles of the Spiritual Gifts. I understand that is because God has made us unique individuals. This makes me…
