What really is confusing is that some in the family says that it was believed to be entirely different and it must have been changed because of pressure; even mental deterioration may spring into the center of it. What a mess! That which catches my attention in Luke 12, where “someone in the crowd” wasContinue reading “THE FAMILY INHERITANCE”

GOD USES UNUSUAL PEOPLE
He has such a personality, and his ability to communicate is beyond the normal; wow!” You meet another who you are convinced: “What a “nice” individual! However, I doubt that he or she will get far in life.” Try reading Exodus 3:13, 14 “But Moses said to God, ‘Who am I, that I should goContinue reading “GOD USES UNUSUAL PEOPLE”
DECEPTION
Daily… that’s right, I said daily, we have to deal with a word that appears in the Bible in its various forms, more than one hundred forty-seven times. It is not one of the first words that we learn, but what it represents is learned at a very early age; once learned and refined inContinue reading “DECEPTION”
THE LAMP
Read the Scriptures and suddenly you will recall an unusual occurrence from your childhood; in fact, you will probably remember something you wish you had not remembered some things, and others will be quite fresh and refreshing. Reflecting on a few verses in Psalm 119 was like enjoying a breakfast prepared for you as aContinue reading “THE LAMP”
THE FAMILY INHERITANCE
Jesus moves on to speak of the one who has great possessions. We read about and we hear about it constantly. Someone dies and all of a sudden there is an eruption in the family about what a WILL says or does not say; sometimes it does not even exist. What really is confusing isContinue reading “THE FAMILY INHERITANCE”
THINGS AT THEIR WORST
What we discover is that David has the assurance that what is about to take place is God’s intercession. We all are faced with situations that seem to be the worst ever. In all probability David found himself immersed in situation of this nature. Absalom, his son, was attempting to remove David as king, andContinue reading “THINGS AT THEIR WORST”
FELLOW CITIZENS
There was legitimacy to my adventure. Those words caught my attention while reading in Ephesians 2:19. First of all it is a single word in older versions of Scripture. Doing a little research caused me to look in the wrong place for the word; fortunately I discovered without a lot of fanfare that I wasContinue reading “FELLOW CITIZENS”
JUST A REMINDER
This was far more than the need to tie a string around the finger, and certainly not something that should be so soon forgotten that it no longer was having an effect on the lives of the dispersed tribes. The message of the Messiah, Jesus, had reached the “scattered tribes” and effected a transformation inContinue reading “JUST A REMINDER”
THROUGH THICK AND THIN
When one considers the life of the Apostle Paul, you have to conclude that he left an indelible impression upon the world of his day. However, two thousand years later he continues make an impression wherever Jesus Christ is uplifted around the globe. From his conversion on the road to Damascus, (Acts9) he became aContinue reading “THROUGH THICK AND THIN”
WHEN I CONSIDER (Psalm 8)
“O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth, Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!” I doubt that I am alone in “star gazing”. As a child I often lay on the grass, in the hammock, or even sitting in a chair, and enjoyed gazing into the heavens. ItContinue reading “WHEN I CONSIDER (Psalm 8)”
