    A Book Review: Dust to Dust by Jen Wilkin

    I have read many books in my lifetime. I enjoy reading to learn and grow in my walk with the Lord. There are fiction books I enjoy reading as well which are purely for my entertainment. Sometimes, I read a book that I wish I had read years ago. Dust to Dust by Jen Wilkin…

  • LOVED BECAUSE GOD IS GOOD!

    LOVED BECAUSE GOD IS GOOD!

    Have you ever had an ear worm? I’m not speaking of a living creature. An ear worm happens when you’ve heard a song and it goes over and over in your mind. Are you a singer? Are you a listener of music? If so, I’m certain that you have also experienced this phenomenon. A tune…

  • IDEA COMING TRUE

    IDEA COMING TRUE

    It’s been a while ago now that I expressed an idea about the bible studies I’ve written over the years. At that time, I asked for input concerning publishing them or doing a podcast of them. The votes were about 50/50. I looked into the podcast idea and was totally overwhelmed by the whole thing.…

  • FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT: SELF-CONTROL JESUS AS OUR EXAMPLE

    FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT: SELF-CONTROL JESUS AS OUR EXAMPLE

    “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:23 As we look to Jesus, we must remember that he was fully God and fully human. He lived the life we can’t live to show us the way to live.…

  • FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT: SELF-CONTROL

    FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT: SELF-CONTROL

    “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23 “I couldn’t help myself.” Really? “She made me do it.” Seriously? “The devil made me do it!” Not hardly, Flip Wilson. These are just a few of the excuses we…

    book review: power with purpose, god’s design for power dynamics in marriage by david r. dunham and Krista dunham

    Power with Purpose is the first book I’ve read which addresses marriage in a more comprehensive biblical manner. Marriage between two believers is about living out who they are in Christ and the power given to them to do that. Marriage between a believer and an unbeliever is also about the believer being Christ in…

  • Sin Has A Long Reach

    Sin Has A Long Reach

    Sin is not the number one topic we go to in conversations. As Followers of Christ, we know we are sinners, but we sure don’t want to talk about it. We don’t want sin to be our identity. Actually, sin is not our identity but Christ is. However, if we tell others about our sin,…

  • Life Behind Me, But More To Come!

    Life Behind Me, But More To Come!

      As I write this, I’m at the age where I have more life lived behind me than life to be lived before me. If you are where I am, you may understand when I say, “It’s a weird place to be!” Sometimes, I feel like I’m in no man’s land without a job or…

  • The Blame Game

    The Blame Game

    As human beings, we don’t want to be found guilty for anything, even if we are. It is easier for us to blame others in order to have a reason for our behavior or choices. On the television show, Laugh-in, which aired from 1968 to 1973, Flip Wilson declared, “the devil made me do it!”…

  • God Owns Everything

    God Owns Everything

    All that I write doesn’t belong to me, but to God. I thought I believed that and lived that way, but I didn’t. If you have followed me, I’m sure you’ve notice that it has actually been a year since I have blogged. There’s a reason for that, which has to do with my own…
