To Take the Hand of God

  • A Sharp Sword

    Reading in Hebrews this morning, it talked about the Children of Israel who refused to enter God’s rest. As I read that I pictured my granddaughter, who when we were walking through a busy parking lot drew her arms close to her body and tried to hurry ahead of her Mom and me, determined to…

  • Be A Light

    Have you ever tried to put into words why you love God? Sometimes words fail and we realize how limited we are by words. I try to imagine what it would be like to stand before God and feel His love but because I have such a limited imagination I can’t. What I do know…

  • Like Smoke

    Last night at our Midweek Encounter with people from different states and the Philippines, with the help from our local Pastor Steve and Dr. Hinkle from Odyssey in Christ, we were talking about the news and the affect that can have on our peace of mind and our spiritual lives. In sharing our lives with…

  • There Is Time To Learn

    I want to share something personal with you in the hopes you can understand how much God loves you. After praying this morning, I sat quietly in an attitude of quiet waiting to hear His words to me so I could write them down. I’d like to share them with you. Be still. Wait patiently.…

  • How Are Our Sins Forgiven

    I just started reading Hebrews. I love my Bible because it gives introduction to each Book historically as well as point out Themes and Megathemes contained within so I can grasp what God would have me understand. I’ve often wondered how Jesus’ sacrifice could forgive my sins. We have all heard the words so often…

  • A Tale of Two Worlds

    Last night on 60 Minutes was the segment about a man in Virginia with a large extended family who bought a home where his family could gather for the celebrations they loved to share – birthdays, holidays, get togethers in general with lots of good food and lots of cake! As his sister began to…

  • Does God Throw Us Away?

    In trying to understand the love and mercy of God, one of the things I grapple with is the concept of salvation. That we are saved. Me, you, people that would surprise us. He has saved us and called us to a holy life – not because of anything we have done but because of…

  • Death and Taxes

    Have you heard the expression the only thing we can count on in this world is death and taxes? That’s so true in this world. We all die once and taxes need to be paid. Another truth is God’s love. God is love. 1 John 4:16. The one great starting point in your walk with…

  • Do You Need A Compass?

    Have you ever been lost in the woods? All the trees begin to look alike and all sense of direction is removed? Have you ever been lost driving in unfamiliar cities? In both instances we quickly become disoriented. A compass or a GPS can correct our wrong direction and lead us safely to our destination.…

  • Be Lifted Up

    This morning I had the great privilege of meeting via Zoom with fellow believers from around the world. As we shared concerns it became obvious that the whole world is in need of God. As we lifted up the various concerns and shared our own stories of how God leads us to His peace we…
