We have a problem. Okay, we have a lot of problems. And they come from a few foundational issues: 1. We have a problem of the fear of the Lord (or lack thereof). "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the Knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." (Proverbs 9:10) "The… Continue reading What’s Wrong with the Church and What We Can Still Do…For Now…

The Proverbs 31 Woman and Me
I love to build things. I love to have all the parts organized and put something together one piece at a time until the finished product proves my capability. It's a challenge, the outcome is tangible, and the self-control I learn in the process is priceless. Mind you, most of the time the self-control is… Continue reading The Proverbs 31 Woman and Me
Finding God in the Obstacles
I never would have thought I'd be thankful for termites, distance learning, and lockdowns. Don't get me wrong: Termites are gross and should be killed. Distance learning is lacking in a real education, presents many security issues, and can be considered class discrimination. Lockdowns violate civil rights and are perfect examples of government overreach and… Continue reading Finding God in the Obstacles
Give Me My Weakness…
Last night during my evening Bible study with the kids, we went through Luke 6. It was really incredible to read about Jesus healing a man's infirmity. The night before, in Luke 5, Jesus forgave a man his sins, and to prove He has authority on earth to forgive sins, He healed the man of… Continue reading Give Me My Weakness…
May I Please Introduce…
I've seen singers or bands who open for bigger acts, and have seen introductions of speakers and highly regarded guests. It always interested me how most of them stated their honor in introducing these people. They'd say nice things about the person or group and then usually, without further adieu, would get out of the… Continue reading May I Please Introduce…
How to Get Back to Abiding…
It seems that the more I know Jesus, the more I realize how true the Word is in Jeremiah: The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"Jeremiah 17:9 This week I found that I still struggle with pride and selfish ambition. That might be the majority of my discouragement… Continue reading How to Get Back to Abiding…
Shaken, Not Stirred
"See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven; whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the… Continue reading Shaken, Not Stirred
Corrected “Practicing His Presence.”
As Christians, our lives MUST be led by the Holy Spirit. That means every moment, every word, every action, every thought should be led by Him. I know, easier said than done. But this is our reasonable service, yes? “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies… Continue reading Corrected “Practicing His Presence.”
Witness
At lunch today, I went to my car to read my Bible. As I read, I felt suddenly worried about witnessing. I know so many who don't know the Lord, especially at work (or those who claim to know/follow Him but the fruit isn't evident). So, most mornings I pray for the office, for salvation,… Continue reading Witness
Memories…
How faithful my God is. I'm looking at the memories Facebook sends me and am amazed at what God has brought me from. Remembering the moments and the feelings surrounding the timeline of some of those picture memories is sometimes difficult. But, the memory also tells me God led me out of a bad situation… Continue reading Memories…
