War, politics, lies, betrayal, the murdering of innocents, our young men and women in uniform dying on a battle field via men of power; takeovers of nations, sin abounding, the church asleep or complacent for the most part; the gospel diluted, and do we even notice? Through all that is going on in this world … Continue reading For Our Nation
I’m Writing a Book
The Lord Jesus recently impressed it upon my heart to write a book and to place it here on the internet. “I Married My Dad” is a book being written by Sue J Love, from the perspective of a wife of a recovering sex (lust) addict. It is being written for the purpose to be … Continue reading I’m Writing a Book
Love and Acknowledge
What does it mean to acknowledge someone? Can this be merely intellectual or emotional recognition? Can this be merely verbal confession? Does any of that count as true (complete) acknowledgment? What does it mean to love people as Christ loved us - with God-like love? Can we love people and not feel love for them? … Continue reading Love and Acknowledge
For By Grace
This song is based off Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV 1984): “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” Salvation is a free gift from God. We do nothing to earn it or to deserve … Continue reading For By Grace

Journal Entry 1/13/18, 2:10 p.m. Five days ago my husband professed to me that he had trusted Jesus Christ to be Lord of his life, and that he had given his life over to the Lord. The following day I was battling fear in my mind and heart. What if this is not the real … Continue reading Journal Entry 1/13/18
They Heap Abuse

They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their depraved conduct … Continue reading They Heap Abuse
Follow Him

He must take up his cross … Continue reading Follow Him
Of the Same Kind
Does everyone who has faith in God have the same kind of faith? Does it matter if we don’t? Do all types of faith lead to the same end result? The Lord Jesus led me to read 2 Peter 1 (Select vv. NASB). Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who … Continue reading Of the Same Kind
Battle for the Mind
We are in a battle, and the battle is for our minds and our hearts. Satan is our foe, and he is out to destroy us. So, he will come at us from all different angles to try to break us down, to try to discourage us, to try to get us to give in … Continue reading Battle for the Mind
Fit for Service
Another also said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first permit me to say good-bye to those at home.” But Jesus said to him, “No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” (Lu. 9:61-62) “Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to … Continue reading Fit for Service
