"Intercessors And Forgiveness"

"Intercessors And Forgiveness" Text Followers of the Lord are all called to pray for each other. We are to pray for the ones we know. We are to pray for ones we do not know. We are to pray for ones we like. We are also to pray for ones we do not like. It is not wrong to pray for ourselves but we need to pray for others too. Pray for health, strength, wisdom, guidance, protection, revelation, and salvation. These are all good things to pray for. Philippians 4:6 says to pray ab

"The Bible Gives Us Signs"

"The Bible Gives Us Signs" Text The Bible gives us signs. The Bible shows that the Word (Jesus) is the God of the Old Testament. (1 Corinthians 10:4)  Jesus gave signs that He is God. He calmed the storm. He walked on water. He forgave sins. He opened the eyes of the blind. He raised the dead. Look up Mark 4:35-41, Mark 6:45-52, Luke 7:14-15, Matthew 9:27-31, Matthew 20:29-33, Mark 2:5-12, and John 11:41-44. Read Exodus 3:14 and John 8:58. Jesus clearly identified Himself as

"All Of Us Will Be Judged By The Lord"

The Lord is Perfect. The Lord is Holy. None of us are perfect. Only One is Perfect. We are not Him. Every person sins. No sin is a minor thing. This life is short. When this life is over all of us will be judged by the Lord. Our good works will not save us. Our righteousness is nothing compared to a Holy God. No amount of good things we do will be enough. We cannot save ourselves. People cannot save us. None of us know how much time we have. We need to take this seriously. Ev

"That Is Why I Share My Writing"

"That Is Why I Share My Writing" Text I do not see writing as a career. I do not publish my writing to be well known. I do not care if I am well known. I like my writing to speak for itself. I do not care if the world knows my name. I would be happy if people know my characters and my writing. It is not about me. My writing is a gift from the Lord. I am thankful for that gift. My inspiration comes from the Lord and the overactive imagination that He gave me. Writing is a copi

"It Is About What The Creator Says"

"It Is About What The Creator Says" Text What is popular is not always what is right. What is legal is not always what is moral. There is so much wrong in this world. Many call what is wrong right and what is right wrong. It is like that about life, family, relationships, and every subject you can think of. When does life start? Life starts at conception. No life is a mistake in the Creator's Sight. Each life was created by the Creator in His Image. The Lord created each male

"The Bible Does Not Say"

"The Bible Does Not Say" Text The Bible does not say that Jesus is a created being. The Bible says all things were created through Jesus.

(Hebrews  4:15) The Bible does not say Jesus was crucified on a Friday and was resurrected on a Sunday. The Bible says Jesus rose exactly three days later.

"Repent Now And Turn To The Lord"

"Repent Now And Turn To The Lord" Text How long have we been living our own way? How long have we been guided by what we think is right? How long have we been judging things the way others judge it? How long have we been too focused on the traditions we know? Do we think about the Creator and His Ways? The Lord created everything and everyone. No person has a right to change any of the Lord's Commands. Do we realize the Lord sees everything? He knows everything. The Lord know

"Seeing Past The Pain"

"Seeing Past The Pain" Text Seeing past the pain is a hard thing to do. It is so hard to see through the pain. If the pain is current, it is hard to focus on anything else. If the pain is physical, it is almost impossible to concentrate on anything else. If the pain is mental or emotional, that pain can be overwhelming. Mental and emotional pain can blind us from any good in our life. Past mental and emotional pain can make us look at the bad even in the good. It can make us

"Past Depression Taints Current Vision"

"Past Depression Taints Current Vision" Text Past depression taints current vision. Pain and trauma from the past can distort how we view things in the present. Even if things are great now, our minds may be stuck in the hurt. I don't believe we ever fully get past deep down depression. Hopefully things get better. But our minds may still keep flashing back to the hurt. It can affect how we see things now. If we spent years feeling no one cared, we may wonder if those around

"How Much Do We Misunderstand"

"How Much Do We Misunderstand" Text How much do we misunderstand? How much do we misunderstand in life? How much do we misunderstand of the Lord and His Word? Something being the normal does not make it okay. Something being taught by most does not make it right. Something done or not done by a minority does not make it wrong. There is a lot of archeological evidence that supports people, places, and events in the Bible. Prophecy shows the Bible is true. There are reasons to

"Help Me Through The Pain"

I'm so tired I can barely keep my eyes open. But I can't rest. I need more of You, Lord, and less of me. Help

"Are We Distracted"

"Are We Distracted" Text Are we distracted? What are we distracted from? What are we distracted to? What are we focusing on? What takes our focus away from the One that created us?

If we follow Him, we need to honor Him by doing all we can to live His Way. We need to turn from our wrong ways. We can

"Are We Faithful"

"Are We Faithful" Text Are we faithful?  Every person has a sin nature. We all sin and have sinned. Those sins separate us from God. Sin earns death. There is nothing we can do to change that. God the Father sent His Son (known as Jesus) to die for us so we can be reunited with Him. The Son came from Heaven became flesh then died for us. Not only did He die for us, He was tortured for us. He took the penalty that our sins cause. He took our punishment. The Father sent. The So

"Believe Or Follow"

"Believe Or Follow" Text Truth is truth even when no one agrees. Right is right even when no one understands. Do our actions support a belief in the Lord and His Word, the Bible? Or do our actions show we follow the examples of others? A follower of the Lord is always a believer but a believer is not always a follower. Many believers follow the Lord to a point. But a lot of their actions show they follow the world. If you believe in the True God great. (James 2:19) It takes m

"God Makes No Mistakes"

We see tiny pieces of that picture. I am not saying I understand everything. But I do know enough to know God does not mak

"Questions To Make Us Think"

"Questions To Make Us Think" Text How often do we think about why we do the things we do? How often do we think about why we don't do the things we don't do? Do we even think about it?

What makes a person different? How much do we go by the differences of others? How often do we judge

"How Do I Pray For Others"

"How Do I Pray For Others" Text How do I pray for others when I need a lot of prayer for myself? Should I only focus on my pain? I don't think so. I think my suffering makes me feel for others. I know what it feels like to be miserable physically and emotionally. I sympathize with others that are suffering. I often may not know what to say to the person. That never means I am not praying for them. I don't have to know the details of what a person is going through. The Lord kn

"What Is Different"

"What Is Different" Text What is different? Who is different? We are all a little different. Which differences matter? Does the way we look matter? Does our skin tone matter? Does our ability or disability matter? What does any of this say about who we really are? Do our beliefs matter? That is what matters. It matters how we treat people. It matters how we live in this world. We are all different physically and medically. Those differences do not matter. We are all unique. T

"What Leads You"

"What Leads You" Text What leads you? What leads your actions? What leads the things you do? Do you ever think about it? Most of us don't. Many of us may not know why we do the things we do. But let's think about it for a moment. Do we do things or not do things because of our beliefs? Is it based on our own thoughts and convictions? Or are we led by what others do or don't do? It is never a good reason to do something based on what others do or don't do. What leads them? Wha
