About 6 years ago, people were putting the mark of Nazarene on their social media profile pictures. The Islamic State (ISIS) marked homes and businesses owned by Christians with a red, painted ن. This letter of the Arabic alphabet is equivalent to the Roman letter N. The ن stands for Nazarenes, an Arabic word for Christians.… Continue reading I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel of Christ

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.

Now, the broadway shows are suspended and gatherings… Continue reading Do Not Worry

I thought they moved the location. Nope. I heard somebody ask, and they were sold out until Wednesday (today). Fears over the… Continue reading Covered By God’s Grace
The Beatitudes
Good Afternoon. It is Fri-yah! The season of Lent began on Wednesday. Easter will be here soon. I grew up Catholic, so I remember reading the Beatitudes often. As we read through Revelations on Wednesday, our Pastor listed 7 of the Beatitudes in The Book of Revelation. I find the Beatitudes in Matthew and Luke,… Continue reading The Beatitudes
God Is Everything
Good Morning. Last night we watched the church service, as we begin studying the book of Revelations. There is so much in this book. God made the universe. God was the beginning and is the end. God is everything from A-Z. God is everything. “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the… Continue reading God Is Everything
