LOVE. There is a lot we can say about love. Depending on the Bible translation, you can find love mentioned between 200 and 600 times. God wants us to know all about LOVE. Not that feeling people get when they think they love someone; I am talking about God’s love. LOVE is a verb and requires action. It’s something God commands us to do. Let us love one another () because God is love. Happy Valentine’s day. On this day when we make an extra effort to let others know we love them, remember God is LOVE and He loved Read More

God Is Speaking: Pay Attention
God is speaking to us right now. If we pay attention, we can clearly hear His voice. Sometimes it’s through friends, other times through enemies. We really need to listen. One missed message from God can cause us to miss something vitally important. Thank God, He is not like me. I do not like to repeat myself. He loves us enough to give us the message several times through a multitude of ways. Have you ever noticed the verses in the Bible that repeat? They repeat because God wants us to pay attention to what they say. Take a look Read More
Feasts and Festivals: Meet Him There
Celebrating the feasts and festivals of the Lord is not common among Christians. In my house, we celebrate (Pesach) Passover. As a Christian, I think it is important to understand why God created these feasts and festivals and what the significance is for Christians. God specifically gave these instructions to the Jews: “Three times a year you shall celebrate a festival to me” (Exodus 23:14). These three appointments were Pesach (Passover), Shavuot (Pentecost), and Sukkot (Tabernacles). In addition to these three, God added four additional times of celebration in Leviticus 23, thereby making a total of seven celebrations. Matzah (Unleavened Read More
Survival Strategies: Listening (Get Understanding)
My number two survival strategy is listening. You can play all the music, read all the Word, and pray all the time; however, if you never stop to listen to the voice of God, you have already lost the battle. God speaks and He expects us to listen. Sometimes we are so caught up in the problem we forget to listen for the solution. We try to figure it out on our own, usually making the situation worst. I often wonder why people think God listens to our prayers, but we never consider that He also speaks to us. Conversation Read More
Easter: Bible Reading Plan
Do you have an Easter Bible Reading Plan? Today is Maundy Thursday which commemorates Jesus and His Last Supper. Then comes Good Friday and Easter Sunday. During Holy Week many Christians may want to change up their Bible reading to focus more on Jesus and the resurrection. This plan is from Billy Graham and I thought it appropriate to share. These meditations will help you stay focused on what this season is really about and allows you time to reflect on Jesus’ death and resurrection. Enjoy. Maundy Thursday Read: 1 Corinthians 15:35–43 As we approach the celebration of Good Friday, I’m reminded of the Read More
Jesus Who?: Our Atoning Sacrifice
This week we are studying Leviticus and Jesus as our Sacrifice, as we continue the series, Jesus Who? Last week we studied Genesis and got to know the Jesus of Genesis. He was part of the Trinity, the Godhead and the seed of the woman. In studying Exodus, we were introduced to Jesus, our Passover Lamb. In the book of Leviticus, Jesus can be seen in the sacrificial offerings and the priesthood, and the feast days (Find out more about the Feasts of the Lord here). I will briefly touch on the sacrificial offerings. The book of Exodus ends with where God desires to Read More
