Reflections
Greetings and blessings to all of you. I am very concerned about what is going on in our city streets and around the globe….Racial Unrest. Is this something new? Of course not. Historically, there has been racial unrest since time began. Why? Because human beings feel more comfortable operating in the flesh…not in the Spirit. Racial Unrest comes from disliking another person based on skin color, financial status, appearance (old/young, pretty/ugly, short/tall) education, whatever. But God, He has stepped in and gave us wisdom in the Scriptures as to how to behav...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. In the midst of rioters, protesters, and peaceful prayer by Pastors from various churches God’s word still stands as true. His greatest desire is for fellowship with every person on Earth and His desire is that none should perish. (2 Peter 3:9) Many hearts are now hardened towards God, so people pursue personal pleasures and behaviors that are not Christlike..over doing good and righteous things. Like in the days of Noah they have turned away from God. People desire to control their lives and destiny, but lack the ability to alter world events...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. I am very concerned about how God views His church. We will be going back to the House of God real soon. Are we ready? God wrote a letter to the seven churches in the Book of Revelation Chapter 2-3. Why? To give us a chance to re-evaluate ourselves in light of how we respond to God’s House of Worship. In Matt. 16:18 “I will build My church and the gates of Hades shall nor prevail against it.” The Bible says, “for everything that was written in the past was written to teach us so that through the endurance taught in the Script...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. We are in a time of crisis. Everything that can be shaken has been shaken. This is the time you may want to ask yourself a question. Is the foundation of your (being) rooted in Christ alone? Or are you living in rebellion serving other gods (or idols)? Whether it is the idols of the pagans or the modern idols of America….idols are always infinitely less than God. We have idolatry in a progressive modern way such as our thought life…. focusing most of the time on things other than God like FB, the Internet, You Tu...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. During this time of Lockdown, I do hope we are using this time to “examine ourselves to see if we are TRULY in the faith; test yourselves? In (Matt 7:22) the people asked Jesus, “Lord Lord did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?” He said, “I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers. In the Body of Christ some ministries actually do those things but as for you and me maybe we just tithe, or just show up, or do good deeds as oppose to bad deeds. Ask ourselve...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Today is Mother’s Day. It is a day set aside by the US to celebrate moms and her unique role granted by God. Mothers have a job description like no other. God gives life at the point of conception but the mom gives birth. From there mom has a special bonding with that child that the father cannot give. Not negating the father, in this day and age the mother is usually with the children most of the time. She is responsible for raising another responsible God-fearing human being. Her...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. In the light of what is going on now; economic distress, physical illness, death, high anxiety, domestic violence, protests, hate and greed and dishonesty it makes me think of verses in the book of Romans. The first one is found in Romans 3:10-18 “as it is written there is no one righteous not even one; there is no one who understands no one who seeks God all have turned away they have together become worthless there I no one who does good not even one. Their throats are open graves their tongues practice deceit. The poison of vipers is on the...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. For the last 2 months the COVID virus has been in the news as well as the upcoming election. For the practicing Christian we adhere to Psalm 46 “God is our refuge and our strength a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea….”. There is a book written by JB Phillips called "You God is too Small." In it he expressed how some of us (even Christians) act as though their circumstances are too c...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. I have been thinking about the world’s response to the current events. They are similar to the days of Pharaoh in the OT. God wanted His chosen people (the Israelites) to know him, to honor Him, and to obey Him no matter what was going on. He chose Moses to inform the political leader of the Egyptians (King Pharaoh) that “By this you shall know I am the Lord”. Pharaoh responded with, “Who is the Lord that I should obey His voice to let Israelites go?” I do not know the Lord, nor will I let Israelites g...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. We are past GOOD FRIDAY and unto RESURRECTION SUNDAY. AMEN!!! Do you know what that means for us? He died and was buried and HE ROSE. Why did this all have to take Place? In John 11:25-26 it says “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live even though he dies and whoever lives and believes in me will never die”. Do you believe this? Let us look at some of our similarities in this verse and our new life. Do you except the fact that by Jesus dying on the cross we should be dying also? Do you believe tha...
