A Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving
At this time of the year and the state of the Union it would be beneficial to know what took place on September 25, 1789, when the very first federal Congress had just finished framing the Bill of Rights – the Capstone of the Constitution. Mr. Elias Boudinot called for an opportunity for all U.S. […]
To Make Him Known
There is a resource that lists important people and their contributions to society, it’s called, Marquis Who’s Who and has been the standard since 1898. This is an excellent resource for every generation to learn and remember influential people in previous generations that would otherwise be forgotten. It wouldn’t be right not to know about the […]
Lift Up Our Leaders
Last week we looked at the need to pray for all people and leaders whether they are Christian or heathen. Paul was writing during the reign of emperor Nero when Christians were severely persecuted and killed. Such was the fate of Paul when he returned to Rome. We must also remember that heathen rulers are […]
Pray for Our Leaders
In four days, we will be electing a president who will preside over America for the next four years. Our Republic is at stake and many will be joyous and many will be very disappointed in the results. Regardless of who is elected we are given a charge to pray. 1 Timothy 2:1-4 I urge, then, first […]
Frustration and Hope
About 2620 years ago there was a voice calling a nation to wake up wondering how long he would have to look at sin, misery, destruction, violence, people arguing and fighting and a judicial system that was broken. O Lord, how long must I call for help before you will listen? I shout to you in vain; there […]
Trust
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust is a word I hear more and more from the media as it is being attached to science. We are being encouraged to “trust the science” when it comes to […]
The Second Great Commandment
The greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. That tops any list of how civilized people should live. The number two commandment is, love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus doesn’t say to love those who agree with you or those who love you in return […]
Get To Know God
Galatians 4:7 So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir. If you were to approach a stranger and tell who you are and all the reasons why they can trust you and then ask; “Can I have the keys to your […]
When Foundations Crumble
Israel of old faced enemies from without and within that wanted to destroy her spiritual and national heritage. The nation was pulled in various directions that would go against God and His Word. Psalm 11:3 When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do?” These are poetic words of an army destroying the walls and structures of a […]
ABCD’S
1 Corinthians 6:19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies. I talk a lot about spiritual health as it is very important and is directly related […]
