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

Jesus, Rescue Me
Are you presently struggling with sin? What I mean is, not are you are being tempted, but are you giving in to the flesh thinking that sin or Satan has power over you and that you don't have the ability to say "NO!" to sin? In the book of Romans, chapter 7, Paul described for … Continue reading Jesus, Rescue Me
Pray, Pray, Pray
Prior to the Lord giving me this song on prayer, he gave me three songs in a row on the subject of love, mainly on loving other people.

When in The Stillness
I was reading in 1 Corinthians 10 for my quiet time with the Lord on 9/26/11. The children of Israel had experienced all of God’s blessings and provisions, as well as his guidance, leadership, and protection in bringing them out of slavery, and yet God was not pleased with them because they did not obey … Continue reading When in The Stillness
Trust Him
This is for Christians. It is an encouragement to wait for the Lord, to be of courage, to be strong spiritually, and to take heart when life kicks you hard and/or foes rise up against you to take you down, mainly speaking of our foe Satan. The opposite of fear is trust. This does not … Continue reading Trust Him
