“In the future, when your son asks you, ‘What is the meaning of the stipulations, decrees and laws the Lord our God has commanded you?’ tell him: ‘We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. Before our eyes the Lord sent signs and wonders—great...
“For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’ The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs...
“He who comes from above is above all. He who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks in an earthly way. He who comes from heaven is above all. He bears witness to what he has seen and heard, yet no one receives his testimony. Whoever receives his testimony sets his seal to this, that...
My testimony of times gone by and of where I am now, by God’s grace.
Broken lives fall all to pieces,
Not just one kind, but many species,
Different looks and circumstances,
Sometimes just from happenstances.
The ins and outs and whereabouts
Of why things happen can cause doubts
And fears of...
The world around me falls apart,
It truly needs a brand new start.
But humans not the ones to give,
In Christ alone will our hearts live.
The hope for us is not in man,
But only in our Father’s plan.
He sent His Son to die for us,
So we’d forsake our sinful lusts.
His grace to us frees us from...

Be Aware
May 26, 2023
“When it was day, the Jews made a plot and bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. There were more than forty who made this conspiracy. They went to the chief priests and elders and said, ‘We have strictly bound...
I am reading in John 4, beginning with verse one, concerning Jesus’ divine appointment with a Samaritan woman at a well in Samaria. While Jesus was seated at this well, this woman from Samaria came to draw water, and Jesus asked her for a drink. She was surprised that he, a Jew, would ask her, a...
Voices speaking, people listening,
World around us is transitioning.
Some say change is for the better,
Others put change in a shredder.
Some think wrong way is the right way.
Some think right way not for this day.
Many shepherds are deceiving
Those who’re living, those who’re breathing.
Many...
In New Covenant terminology, “the gates of righteousness” is the way or the path of righteousness. And righteousness is “the divine approval of God, i.e. God’s judicial approval which refers to what is deemed right by the Lord (after His examination), i.e. what is approved in His eyes” (source...
On December 31, 2024, I turned 75 years old. Four days later, on January 4, 2025, my husband, and most of my children, children-in-law, and grandchildren celebrated with me my 75 years of life on this earth. I had requested that those who could, that they would play their musical instruments and...
Walking wounded, are you listening?
Truth abounding, ever glistening.
Jesus Christ is your salvation.
Learn of Him in revelation.
Holy Bible, Word of living,
Grace of God to us is giving.
Jesus Christ gave His life for us,
So through faith we’d be forgiven.
Turn from your sins, trust in...
Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation from sin and to eternal life with God in heaven. There is no other way to God the Father except through genuine God-persuaded and God-gifted faith in Jesus Christ. And none of us can come to faith in Jesus Christ unless God the Father first draws us to...
Jesus Christ was about ready to go to the cross to die for our sins. And the purpose for which he died on that cross is that we might now die to sin and live to righteousness, that we might now live for him, and not for ourselves, and that we might now honor God with our bodies instead of...
The first sheep mentioned in this passage of Scripture were the Jews of the Old Covenant. The “other sheep” mentioned are the Gentiles who Jesus said that he must bring in also, and there will be ONE FLOCK under ONE SHEPHERD Jesus Christ (see Ephesians 2:11-22). All who are of genuine faith in...
Zechariah was the father of John the Baptist, and after John was born he gave this prophesy regarding Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who was yet to be born, and regarding God’s call upon the life of Zechariah’s son John the Baptist, that he would be the one to go before the Lord Jesus to...
He’s hurting, he’s crying,
No tears on outside.
He’s injured, he’s stirring,
All now kept inside.
He’s failing for words
To say all that he feels.
He cannot express,
Cannot make his appeals.
His outside is inside,
Trapped now in his skin,
Knows not where to turn,
And his faith’s wearing thin...
