AFTER

“Jesus said to her, “Believe Me, woman, that a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, because salvation is from the Jews. But a time is coming, and even now has arrived, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people...

DON’T POINT THE FINGER AT GOD!

“Our God, you are the great God, the awesome, powerful soldier! You are kind and loyal.    You keep your agreement. We have had many troubles, and our troubles are important to you. Bad things happened to all our people, and to our kings and leaders, and to our priests and prophets. Those terrible things have happened from the days of the king of Assyria until today! But God, you were...

THE CLEAN-UP SOLUTION THAT WORKS

Think of all the products you saw online or on TV that seemed like the remedy for one of the tough clean-up challenges in your house. Impressed, you tried to find the product at the big box hardware stores in your area, but none of them carried the product. The only way to purchase the product, which seemed miraculous as presented in the advertisement, was online or by calling a specified...

WHEN YOU GET IT, GET TO IT!

Good morning! It’s Friday! I won’t write a lot this morning. I’ll just refer you to the title above and ask you to (1) Read the passage below, listening carefully to one of Jesus’ parables. (2) Meditate on it as it relates to you and how you can apply what the Lord has to say to you.  “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who was leaving on a trip. He called his servants and handed his...

THE GREAT HELP!

“I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, so that He may be with you forever; the Helper is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him; but you know Him because He remains with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.” (John 14:16-18 NASB) This is your Sunday Share meditation. This...

THE DISCARDING

Last week they had the 500 Mini-Marathon Race in Indianapolis. The racecourse goes right by Sis. Katie’s house. Both our households arrive very early on Sunday morning and we have a chance to fellowship with one another. Sis. Katie commented that she did not see me among the runners this year. I know she was joking! She knows my age! I responded by telling her that I have not ran that race...

INSOUCIANCE, AN INTERESTING WORD

“Inexperienced people die because they reject wisdom. Stupid people are destroyed by their own lack of concern.” (Proverbs1:32 Good News Translation) I receive an email, perhaps daily, entitled “Interesting Words.” One day last week the word for the day was insouciance. It was indeed an interesting word. Perhaps I am not as well versed in the English language as you, and maybe my...

TRY, DON’T CRY!

“Then Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and teacher of the Law, and the Levites who were instructing the people said to them all, ‘This day is holy to the Lord your God. Do not mourn or weep.” For all the people had been weeping as they listened to the words of the Law.Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared....

FOUR THINGS TO MAKE THIS SUNDAY GREAT

Today is going to be a great day! Here are three things to make this Sunday great: (1) Remember who you are; one of God’s chosen people! You may have been chosen for heaven-approved purpose! There is not anything comparable to being chosen by God!  (2) Remind yourself, of your privilege and your responsibility that comes with being a member of the royal...
