Sin Has A Long Reach

An Idea Is Forming
The lightbulb goes on over my head as I look into the cupboards in my basement. On multiple shelves, I see many notebooks which contain Bible Studies I’ve written. As the women’s ministry director, I wrote studies and taught them to the women of Cornerstone Baptist Church. My time of creating, writing, and study was…

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!”…

Take Notice of the Verbs!
Have you ever taken the time to consider the verbs that are attached to the Lord? The actions which are described in these verbs are so encouraging to my soul. Each day, I pray through a Psalm in the morning. This book is rich with verbs that describe our Lord’s actions toward his children. Today,…

Waiting on the Lord
Our lives are full of times of waiting. We wait when we go to the doctor, or for test results, or we’re in the wrong line at the grocery store again. These times of waiting are not very enjoyable. There are times of waiting which cause us anticipation which is not unpleasant. Some of these…
