Let Go of Earthly Wrongs
Forgiveness can be a difficult. If God can forgive us, we need to forgive others. Am I the only one that is hard for? I can try and justify not forgiving others. It comes down to the words that Jesus said, if you retain and hold onto the sins of others, God will hold onto… Continue reading Let Go of Earthly Wrongs

Every Nation, Tribe, Tongue, and People Will Be Singing God’s Praises Together
We are living in unusual times. Our church opened up yesterday. Of course, it is different. People had to sit at least 6 feet apart, and they had to wear masks, except for the singing. Kids under 10 are not allowed in the sanctuary, so we still have to watch services online. Church is a… Continue reading Every Nation, Tribe, Tongue, and People Will Be Singing God’s Praises Together

Mighty Wonders
This morning I was feeling disappointed. Life didn’t go the way that I wanted it to yesterday. Does that mean that what I want will never happen? I read the bible this morning, and I read about Daniel and his friends pure faith. Daniel’s friends walked through fire, because they believed in God. They believed… Continue reading Mighty Wonders
The Truth Shall Make You Free
This morning I was thinking about things that I want to change in myself. I wondered if some of the changes were possible. I opened up to the bible and read “The Truth Shall Make You Free”. At first I wondered, if I was being honest with myself. Am I lying to myself? Maybe I… Continue reading The Truth Shall Make You Free
No One Knows the Day or Hour
This morning, I received a phone call from the school. Schools are closed today through next week, because of precautions to protect us from the Cornonavirus. I thought this would happen, but I didn't think it would happen so soon. How can something expected catch me off guard? I know Jesus will come back to… Continue reading No One Knows the Day or Hour
