“To the angel of the church in Sardis write: He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars, says this: ‘I know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I … Continue reading They Are Mostly Dead
Bible Studies
For the past year the Lord has been having me write chronological studies of books of the New Testament. And I have been keeping those in collections on my computer by books of the Bible. My husband has encouraged me to create a new category and subcategories for those who might want to read these particular studies by book. Each one is from my personal devotions and they may not cover every verse or every chapter, and they might be in reverse order by chapter since that is the order in which they were posted, i.e. the last will appear first. This is a work in progress, so this may take me a while to recategorize and retag each post. I hope and pray this is beneficial to you.

Humble and Submissive
I am reading in Luke 7:36-50 NASB1995, some of which I will summarize. Jesus was invited to dine with a Pharisee at his house. And while he was there a woman who was a sinner came there to see him. She brought with her an alabaster vial of perfume, “and standing behind Him at His … Continue reading Humble and Submissive
When Hate Says, “I Love You”
“We love, because He first loved us. If someone says, ‘I love God,’ and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God … Continue reading When Hate Says, “I Love You”
The Ways of Man versus The Ways of God
“Teach me Your way, O Lord;I will walk in Your truth;Unite my heart to fear Your name.I will give thanks to You, O Lord my God, with all my heart,And will glorify Your name forever.For Your lovingkindness toward me is great,And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.”(Psalm 86:11-13 NASB1995) If you … Continue reading The Ways of Man versus The Ways of God
God’s Promises Have Conditions
“For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:38-39 NASB1995) To whom are … Continue reading God’s Promises Have Conditions

If We Suffer With Him
“The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

All Day Long
“Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Just as it is written, ‘For Your sake we are being put to death all day long; we were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.’ But in all these things we overwhelmingly … Continue reading All Day Long
Don’t Be Surprised
“Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death. Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. We … Continue reading Don’t Be Surprised
