The Grace of God

July 29, 2024

Dear Ones: The Grace of God! Oh, what wonderful gifts and weapons we have been given through the work of the Cross of Christ. Grace is usually defined as unmerited favor. But for the born-again believer it is also God’s enabling power to know and to do His will. This second definition is more descriptive…

Let’s Practice Real Love

July 26, 2024

Dear Ones: Let’s Practice Real Love! What a statement! Our love walk is how the world will know that we are truly Christ’s disciples. This love walk also includes learning to love ourselves. One of the enemy’s main weapons against us is his tormenting, accusing, and demeaning voice. He whispers thoughts of debilitating self-criticism to…

Never Subject to Change

July 25, 2024

Dear Ones: Never Subject to Change! The immutability of God is certain. He has stated it many times in the Word that He changes NOT. God has no hidden agenda when He showers gifts upon those who are in Christ. He is the personification of Love, Itself. Why is it necessary to remind ourselves of…

Loyal in His Love

July 23, 2024

Dear Ones: Loyal in His Love! The psalmist is giving his testimony of what God did for him. He petitioned the Lord and then sang praises of His goodness and mercy. God heard him and answered him swiftly. His testimony ends declaring that the Lord is loyal in His love to those who call upon…

Fruit Bearers

July 19, 2024

Dear Ones: Fruit Bearers! We are called to bear or produce good Kingdom fruit. In the natural world, fruit is the product of the work of branches. The branches draw their life from the main vine or plant and then use its life force to produce fruit. This is why in John 15:5, NKJV, Jesus…

Firmly in Place

July 18, 2024

Dear Ones: Firmly in Place! You are in His hands, and He will not let you slip or fall. The only one who can take you out of His hands is “YOU.” So, choose to remain in His grasp. This is a freewill choice. Is it that easy? No, because we have an enemy who…

Completely Unharmed

July 17, 2024

Dear Ones: Completely Unharmed! The Lord shows up to protect those who are faithful to Him. Nebuchadnezzar was astonished as he witnessed this event. His anger turned to amazement and fear. The faith of the Hebrew men would not bow to worship him, so he heated the fire 7 times hotter. He watches to see…

Stand Up

July 16, 2024

Dear Ones: Stand Up! Jesus purposefully went to this man who had been infirm for 38 years to ask him this question. Instead of saying yes, he proceeded to blame his ill condition on the fact that he did not have help to place him in the pool when the angel stirred the waters. He…

Exalt Wisdom

July 12, 2024

Dear Ones: Exalt Wisdom! The wisdom of God is greater than all the wisdom of mere men combined. His wisdom is revealed to us in Christ as stated in 1 Corinthians 1:24b, NKJV. “Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.” The Father’s power and wisdom are given expression in the life of Jesus Christ. As we read…

    Dear Ones: Greater Love! The Master said these words on the night He was betrayed before He was taken by the soldiers. He was preparing them for what was to come. However, His words ring true for every believer throughout the ages. Since the wages of sin is death, He paid for the sin of…

    June 5, 2025
    Dear Ones: One Body! Paul uses the comparison of the natural human body to explain the mystery of the Body of Christ. Just like the natural body, the spiritual Body of Christ has many parts with each part having its own purpose. Every believer is connected to each other by love: Christ’s love for us…

    June 2, 2025
    Dear Ones: You are to Shine! Oh my! Paul tells us that we are to do things without grumbling or complaining. “Lord, help us. We need Your grace to thwart the vicious cycle of mummering.” It is a soulish kneejerk reaction to strike back when people talk against us unfairly. Gossips gossip and enjoy destroying…
