“Oh No, Don’t Open That Door!” “Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.” Psalm 19:12-14 When we were children, we used to listen to a radio show, called “Fibber McGee and Molly.” I do not remember all the episodes, but I do remember…
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. II Timothy 2:19 Floors are an important part of our homes. We try to keep them clean and uncluttered. When…
“Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy…

“Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.” Psalm 25:4-5. Like most of David’s psalms, this one is a prayer. David starts out by declaring his personal relationship with God. He uses the words “my God, I trust in thee.” So many people today use the words “my God” in daily conversation, but David used it here as a recognition that he knew God intimately. It was not spoken lightly, but in sincerity. It…
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! It also became a newly-cherished treasure to add to my personal library of books. The things we will explore today did not…
“O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsts for You; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water” (Psalm 63:1, NKJV). Everywhere I go, I see people carrying a bottle of water with them. It’s not just the walkers and joggers; it seems to be almost everyone. Water is vital to health and life. It regulates body temperature, carries nutrients and oxygen to body cells, helps the body absorb nutrients, removes waste, and cushions joints. While man can live for many days without food, the body…
“In heaven I have only you, and on this earth you are all I want. My body and mind may fail, but you are my strength and my choice forever.” Psalms 73:25-26 CEV We are faced with countless decisions every single day. What to eat for breakfast, what to wear, to have one or two coffee’s before breakfast. Some choices are made out of routine but sometimes we are thrown a curveball and are forced to make some pretty big, difficult decisions. Regardless of my situation and current struggle, my choice over and over again will always be Christ. He…
