“I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.” Psalms 122:1 My daily Bible reading today was in the book of II Chronicles, chapter 20, which records the story of David numbering Israel, and then being rebuked by the Lord for doing do. God offered him three choices of punishment, and David chose to fall into the hands of God. A pestilence took the lives of many people in the land. And as David repented, the angel of the Lord stopped the plague at the threshing floor of Ornan. A couple of…
There is always that one child… You know which one. (Maybe you ARE/WERE the one!) If it was declared to be impossible to climb that pole, scale that wall, jump that ditch, find that one lost piece, or fit one more cookie in its mouth — he/she would be The.…
One of the hardest parts of watching people age is seeing a loss of strength. Most have been independent all their lives. It puts a dent in their pride to accept help in areas where they are no longer strong enough to cope. Lending a hand to help them negotiate…

“I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.” Psalm 101:2 The definition of perfect is “being entirely without fault or defect; flawless.” We all know from reading the story of David in the Bible that he was not without fault. Many times, in his writing he asked God to search his heart, and to cleanse him from anything that was not good. He realized his faults and knew that only by staying in constant communion with God, would he be counted perfect…
“And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.” Genesis 24:58 At the beginning of the year, when we begin reading the Bible through once more, the story of Isaac and Rebekah has always stood out to me. This year I am reading the New Living Version and enjoyed reading it once again. Can you imagine the excitement when Abraham’s servant appeared at the well and greeted Rebekah with the news that he had come with the purpose of finding a bride for his master’s son? Then as Rebekah…
“all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.” Acts 2:47 I have seen some videos recently on social media of a conference happening in the Philippines where there were 42,000 in attendance and 8,000 receiving the Holy Ghost in one service! Isn’t that incredible? Revival is happening all over the world, and I believe the last few verses in the second chapter of Acts contain important guidelines for revival. Unity – We have to stand together in these last days. Share…
“And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.” Matthew 14:14 We have been looking at the attributes that Jesus manifested while here on earth, and how we can express those same qualities so that others will see Jesus in us. As we read the stories of Jesus while He was on earth, His compassion is so evident. He healed the sick, raised the dead, restored sight to the blind, and even met the needs of a crowd of hungry people. He In one place, it says He…
