As usual, more time has passed than I realized since the last post.  There has also been much loss and violence since the last post. Deaths of spiritual warriors; some expected due to long years of service and a wearing out of the body, some not only unexpected but ripped from us by the work of the…

As I was reading from the devotional book, To Be Like Jesus, I read the following passages: The unhappiness and degradation that follow in the train of licentiousness cannot be estimated. The world is defiled under its inhabitants. They have nearly filled up the measure of their iniquity; but that which will bring the heaviest…

Credit for this post goes to Melanie Fuston.  She regularly encourages the church members and friends with insightful thoughts about a Bible passage.   1 Kings 11:11-12 from the VOICE Bible reads as follows: “You have been unfaithful to me and have broken my covenant…But in honor of your father, David, who was always faithful to…

It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since anything was posted to this page.  As the writer of this blog, I guess I got busy or distracted by other life events and didn’t realize nothing had been posted, for that I apologize. So here we are in a new year, actually, almost to the end…

Hello Everyone, This morning I was reading the devotional from Our Father Cares posted below.  It seemed fitting for this Christmas season with its sparkling, jewel toned lights and bright festive colors reminding us that once again we are celebrating one of, if not, the most significant event in human history – God becoming human.  But…

Do the ungodly and wicked have it easier than God’s children?  Sometimes it would seem so.  Our current times seem to promote the rich getting richer by corrupt schemes while the remainder of us struggle daily.  Even Asaph, in Psalm 73, spoke of this seeming inequity; read his words from verses 3 through 12:  Ps 73:3 For…

We continue to see signs fulfilled as to the nearness of Jesus’s return.  While we don’t typically consider our family as possessions they are some of the most important “possessions” we can take with us to heaven, especially our children.  Below is an excerpt from the devotional book Our Father Cares by Ellen G. White…

The excerpts below have been taken from the book Evangelism by E.G. White.  In the places where it says “I”, “my” or something similar it is referring to the author, Ellen G. White, and not the author of this blog. These messages were written more than 100 years ago.  We seem to seeing these events fulfilled…

In two days Americans will go to the polls to cast their votes, many have already done so. This year’s election, I believe, is as important as the election of 1860. I hope everyone who can vote, will vote. The events of this year – natural disasters, disease, violence, political unrest – so far are certainly…

We have watched so much unrest over the past several months.  It must be breaking Jesus’ heart to see the hatred and violence we are doing to each other.  Below is a devotional from This Day With God originally dated September 17, 1904. Chap. 261 – All Men Are Brothers      God that made…
