EAT THE WHOLE THING!

“I know ]your deeds and your toil, and your patient endurance, and that you cannot tolerate those who are evil, and have tested and critically appraised those who call themselves apostles (special messengers, personally chosen representatives, of Christ), and   are not, and have found them to be liars and impostors; and   you   are enduring patiently and are bearing up for My...

ON BEING FAITHFUL

“As Jesus was still speaking, Judas , one of the twelve , came up accompanied by a large crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people. Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him.” Immediately Judas went to Jesus and said, “Greetings (rejoice), Rabbi!” And he kissed Him . Jesus said to...

TRANSLATING 101

“Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?” So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”  And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?” Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me...

MY DIARY

“Write the things which you have seen…” (Revelation 1:19 NKJV) My first venture into writing actually began, so I thought, with a book entitled, “Committed to the Climb (1990).”  Then again, perhaps my better attempt was when I moved up from self-publishing to print-on-demand in 2007 with “Special Messages for Specific Times.”  I also considered a bilingual, children’s...

FORMALITIES

“If you love learning, you love the discipline that goes with it—how shortsighted to refuse correction!” (Proverbs 12:1 MSG) A couple of years ago my family bought me a new PC for my birthday.  After getting it all set up, I continued using my old one until late last week.  All of a sudden it would not let me access Google Chrome.  Bottom line, it had seen its days.  I...

THE WALK IN THE SNOW CLASSROOM

“The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.” (Psalm 37:23-24 NIV) Over the past few weeks, the amount of snow that we have experienced has exceeded what we experienced last year, and perhaps the year before too.  The wide sidewalks and part of a main street near my neck of the woods...

THE SALVATION MUST BE TELEVISED!

“But there is a great difference between Adam’s sin and God’s gracious gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ. And the result of God’s gracious gift is very different from the result of that one man’s sin. For Adam’s sin led to condemnation,...

ACCORDING TO GOD…NOT THEM

“In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will.” (Ephesians 1:11 NKJV) Reacting to recent released research revelations, life expectancy, according to scientific sources, has been reduced due to the pandemic.  Specifically, reports say that for some people the reduction equals two...

DID YOU SEE THE GIFT WAITING FOR YOU?

“The faithful love of the Lord never ends!  His mercies never cease.  Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.” (Lamentation 3:22-23 NLT) Do you remember those special days when you got up and rushed to see if there was a special gift waiting for you under the tree, on top of the table, or somewhere in your room that was so easy to see?  Do you remember the...

LIGHT AND LOVE

“The one who says that he is in the Light and yet hates his brother or sister is in the darkness until now.” (I John 2:9 NASB) It is Black History Month in our country, but what a misleading way to look at the contributions of so many great Black Americans; what a short period of time to recognize their past and present achievements that benefitted all mankind.  I for one will not...
