Surrender
The most difficult undertaking for any human being is to surrender their will to God. Our Adamic nature demands its own way, often at the expense of ignoring God and His Word. When I became a Christian 46 years ago, inviting Jesus Christ into my heart was just the...
The Fence
When we lived in Florida, our next-door neighbor had a very tall Doberman that he kept in his yard behind a four-foot, chain-link fence. One day, my husband asked him, "What's preventing Duke from jumping the fence? He clearly has the ability." With a grin, he...
Life’s Crockpot
For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing (2 Corinthians 2:15 NKJV). My husband and I love thick, creamy, homemade, chicken vegetable soup. I pre-cook the chicken, debone it, and return it to the pot. I...
A Remedy for Weariness
Weariness affects all of us and I am no exception. There have been times when I felt like I was drowning in a sea of overwhelming weariness, and the shore's safety was beyond reach. However, I have discovered that during those times of weariness, my faith is not only...
Forgiving Ourselves
We have all made mistakes and wrong choices throughout our lives. Some of those choices were good and some brought heartache and much regret. Some were foolish, youthful mistakes. Some choices were thoughtless and selfish. And then there were those choices, whether...

Mercy
I am so very grateful for God's mercy! Without His mercy, you and I would be lost and without hope. So what is mercy? Mercy is defined as showing compassion and forgiveness toward someone. Compassion is sympathetic concern for another's suffering and a desire to...
Judge Not
I have woefully discovered that despite our best efforts, we all, including myself, judge others, because it is just too easy to do. Human nature causes us to fall into the enticing trap of preconceived ideas and unfounded assumptions about people. When our fellow man...
Abide In Me
Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, Unless it abides in the Vine, neither can you, Unless you abide in Me. I am the Vine; you are the branches. He who abides in Me and I in him, bears much fruit; For without Me, you can do nothing...
When Doubt Comes Knocking
We have all experienced times when we waivered between belief and unbelief. We knew that God was able, but we questioned if He was going to meet our particular need. Even John the Baptist was troubled with doubts that caused him to question the Lord. God had revealed...
The 5 Sola’s of Salvation
The five sola’s is a remarkable and timeless set of teachings that came out of the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. Its purpose is to summarize and clarify what the Bible teaches concerning salvation. What I appreciate about the Five Sola’s is how the...
