HOW’S LIFE TREATING YOU? I ONLY ASKED THAT QUESTION to get your attention: did it work? I hope so. You see, this is a very commonly asked question. A lot of time polite, well-meaning folk say that in a hurried-type of fashion; but they aren’t really expecting (or perhaps wanting) a lengthy exposition. They are truly caring. While some do want to get involved in the expectations and goals of your own personal life, they may not think they have…..
HYDRATE! IT IS IMPERTATIVE TO KEEEP YOURSELF HYDRATED. I’m not going into the medical ramifications and the biological effects on the body from dehydration: my husband is the emergency room nurse – I’m the preacher; and, it is very likely anyway that most adults know full well how wonderful it is to drink enough liquids – after all, you can live a lot longer on only water than food. I have no doubt that children are wisely…..
THE HEROIC FATHER TO BE A FATHER WHO ADORES YOUR WIFE AND CHILDREN CELEBRATES THEIR LIVES WITH PRAISES AND CAUSES THEM TO PROSPER IN JOYOUS, GODLY CELEBRATION… BLESS FATHER GOD You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.” Hebrews 1.9 Beloved: this is what it all comes down to for the American family (of which I am one) – AND – for…..
FLASH DRIVE David said to Saul, “Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.” Saul replied, “You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth.” But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from…..
“NO WORRIES!” I HAVE BEEN HEARING THIS LATELY many, many times from people with smiling faces – and all kinds of people – younger and older, people of different ethnicities and gender – even (glory to God!) teenagers!! I love it! I simply love it! These people are kind and have wisdom – and for me, it’s that supreme opportunity to say: “Yes! Exactly! That is exactly what Jesus says!” Beloved, worry IS sin: Do not be anxious about…..
THE BLESSINGS OF A GODLY MOTHER! Is it true we no longer have any godly mother role models such as Jochebed, Hannah, and the most famous Mary of them all? It is really true that satan has impressed modern-day women that motherhood is a sham? No way! Not the women of wisdom. Godly mothers know the value of teaching and training (and rebuking) their precious children in the oracles of God Almighty, the Everlasting King! One such godly mother,…..
Revelation 18:1 I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades. BEHOLD! HE HAS RISEN! Revelation 5:5-14 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it…..
Another word for ‘Easter’ is ‘Paschal.’ The meaning of Paschal has to do with sacrifice. Jesus IS our propitiation, our appeasement to the Father, our substitute. For what? He took what we could not keep so we could stand boldly before the throne of God. Jesus was slain that all may live – live eternally with joy eternal – the joy of the LORD God Almighty and being His child forever and ever, amen. Jesus Christ is the Paschal Lamb…..
CHEERING YOU ON! WE ALL LOVE TO HAVE people cheering us on! This past Christmas season I went to a party from my own company (my own church) Living Word Christian Center, pastored by Mac and Lynne Hammond. The term ‘own company’ is found in Acts, chapter four in the King James Version of the Bible. This particular party was in honor of the medical first responders who volunteer their time freely to give medical care to people in…..
It is obvious there are different types of love God has appointed to our souls. There is the holy, reverential love to God, Himself. The union of husband and wife in holy matrimony is another kind – symbolic of Christ and His bride – the Church. Another type is that of saintly love between the brethren. And this is what this “Joy Story” is about. Here is the true story of that type love – love at first sight… …..
