When Jesus spoke of his sheep, he was speaking of his true followers. They hear the voice of the Lord, they listen attentively to his words, they obey what he says, and they follow him wherever he leads them. They find forgiveness and salvation. This is the mark of a true disciple of Jesus Christ. … Continue reading My Sheep

Songs the Lord has given me to write.
My Prayer
When we accept God’s invitation to his great salvation by his grace, through faith in Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for our sins, he indwells us with his Holy Spirit. We now have the Spirit of God within us leading, guiding, counseling, helping and directing us in the ways of the Lord and … Continue reading My Prayer
My Heart’s Desire
Paul said his heart’s desire, and his prayer to God for the Israelites (his own people), was that they may be saved. I concur with him, in that is my desire, as well, for my family members, friends, neighbors and the people of this world to come to know Christ Jesus as Lord and as … Continue reading My Heart’s Desire
My Cry for Mercy
There are times in all of our lives when we feel particularly vulnerable, weak, tired, sad, confused, and, perhaps, hurt and rejected and/or all alone. It is especially during these times when we need to call upon our Lord to save us from ourselves, and to give to us his encouragement, counsel, direction, strength and … Continue reading My Cry for Mercy
Muted Trumpet
On the morning of October 14, 2011, I was reading in Ephesians 1 for my quiet time with the Lord. The passage of scripture speaks about every spiritual blessing which we, who have turned from our sins, and who have trusted in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of our lives, have in Him. … Continue reading Muted Trumpet

Ministers of Our God
As followers of Jesus Christ, we are all supposed to be ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is a call to all ministers of the gospel to give our all to Jesus Christ. So many ministers of the gospel are walking in the ways of the world, are following the teachings of humans, … Continue reading Ministers of Our God
Magnify Him
Because of what Jesus Christ did for us in saving us from our sins, we should be continually in an attitude of praise and thanksgiving to him for all that he has done for us. Praise and thanksgiving, as well, is the greatest antidote I know to sadness, loneliness, suffering, rejection and discouragement. It works … Continue reading Magnify Him
Love Never Fails
Human love, based in our flesh, will fail us. But, God-like love, which prefers what God prefers, will not fail, for it is centered in God and not in self. If we try to operate in our flesh, we are bound to fail, too. If we try to use our gifts in the flesh, they … Continue reading Love Never Fails
Love Must Be Genuine
Love must be sincere, honest, truthful, and genuine, as opposed to being pretentious, disingenuous, fake or phony. True love, thus, speaks the truth in love and does not use false flattery, nor does it willfully deceive. In fact, it hates what is evil, mainly because of how evil destroys lives, homes, families, communities, church congregations … Continue reading Love Must Be Genuine
