Exodus 30:1-17 When God created us with his DNA God wanted us to be his family. He made us in his image. This is a spiritual image with soul and mind. This meant we could think and understand. Because he created us with the capacity to think means we have free will to choose and make choices. When God gave us the power to think and make decisions, we made the choice to use our free will and pull a…..
Genesis 1:26-28, 3:1-7, 20-24 God’s plan for us is found in Biblical words. The plan starts in Genesis and is woven throughout the rest of the scriptures. God is the master architect of all life. God has always been God. Never at any time has God not been God. Out of the mind of God he started to create. God took nothing but his mind and created light, sky, land, seas, vegetation, plants, trees, sun, moon, stars, sea creatures,…..
Matthew 12:38-45 The pessimistic, insecure and negative thinking people are always seeking answers to the questions of ‘what ifs’. The pessimistic-living people want more proof if they don’t get the answer they like to their ‘what ifs’. They just go to the next question of ‘yes, but’ and for the most part you can never give them the proof of what they are seeking…because they don’t know what they are seeking or asking. In our questions of faith, we can…..
Matthew 13:44-46 In this age of electronic devices, the games that have been a part of children’s culture in the past are dying. Such games as Red Rover, blindfold, jump rope, hopscotch and hide and seek are disappearing. The GPS systems have replaced maps. I can remember when gas companies gave out maps with the company name on the map, such as Gulf, Texaco and Esso. I am so old that I remember when our churches believed that the…..
Matthew 7:13-14 In life we walk through many types of gates. Some gates are to keep things out, or to keep some things inside. Some gates are just decorative. The church is the gatekeeper of the Biblical faith. In 1973 I walked through a gate that I will never forget. It was a different kind of experience that day, going through that gate. The day started with a call from a funeral home asking if I would do a funeral…..
God loves you.
Matthew 13:36-43 You never know what a day may bring in your life. You never know what kind of events or people that you will be dealing with. Jesus had to explain the parable of the wheat and weeds to his disciples in our scripture lesson. “The Son of Man is the farmer who plants the good seed. The field is the world and the good seed represents the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people who belong…..
Matthew 7:24-28 Have you made any resolutions that 2019 will be different for you than 2018? In today’s scripture lesson Jesus teaches us why it is important to build on solid foundations. “Anyone who listens to my teachings and follows is wise, like the person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. But anyone…..
Luke 2:25-35 Life is filled with surprises. We all have had surprises that are good and we have had those that were bad. Surprises are the things and events that happen to us that we can never anticipate in a day of our lives. On the eighth day in the life of Jesus he was taken by Mary and Joseph to the temple for their purification offering as required by the law of Moses. Mary and Joseph were doing what…..
Genesis 31:1-21 A certain family was broken because of the life style and the habits of the husband and father. He was into drugs and drinking and was unfaithful to his marriage vows. This man’s father asked me to see what I could do to help the family. When I went to his son’s home that day he was on the porch drunk. His wife and children had left home in fear of their lives. The front windows of…..
