“By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.” Hebrews 11:7 As I write this, we are getting a thunderstorm. The sky is dark, the wind is blowing, and it is raining hard. Rain is familiar to us, and we take it for granted as we know plants must grow and flourish. BUT there was a time at the beginning of our world when there was no…

Several years back, the Lord started really dealing with me to study the subject of being an encourager. Though I had spent most of my life in ministry trying to help others, I felt a special need to explore the topic even deeper than I had currently known. One day I purchased an old book while at the thrift store called, “Encouragement- The Key to Caring” by Dr. Larry Crabb and Dr. Dan Allender. It changed my life!

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” Hebrews 13:8 We live in a world that is constantly changing. Over the last few months, we have had to change the way we do so many things. What we once took for granted is now no longer possible. We cannot attend church the way we used to. We cannot visit with friends and family without following a lot of rules. BUT there is one thing that has not changed, Jesus is still the same. We can rest assured upon His promise that He will never leave us nor…
“No, for all the nations of the world are but a drop in the bucket. They are nothing more than dust on the scales. He picks up the whole earth as though it were a grain of sand.” Isaiah 40:15 My family loves going to the beach, it’s one of our favourite summer activities. We don’t swim or even really go in the water, we just enjoy sitting in the sand. My oldest daughter loves to build sandcastles and build trenches, while my three year old enjoys exploring. Even now, in the dead of winter with snow all around me,…
“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” I John 3:1-2 First John calls our attention to the great love that God has bestowed upon us, by calling us his sons (or daughters). What a great privilege it…
