Today I turn 63. I love celebrating my birthdays and growing older. I am thankful to have lived for another birthday. I almost died at 45 years old from a brain tumor that causes sodium wasting disease. I almost died from it a few times since then, but God wasn’t finished with me yet. I am thankful I was able to finish raising my precious children. I am thankful I was able to dance with my sons at their weddings…
“Hello, I was wondering if you have done or will do an article on how women having jobs and their relationship with Jesus suffers, because they don’t have enough time for Him or having trouble hearing Him. Having too much of the world’s static swirling around in our thoughts. Lisa” Hi Lisa, Most women don’t seem to have enough time for the Lord whether they are in the workforce or not. This is why they are so easily deceived by…
We went to visit my mom’s best friend who is 90 years old recently. Her husband is 92 years old, and they look great! They rented the apartment over their garage to this woman who had two children. She was addicted to heroin. One day, she left and didn’t come back. After three months of waiting for her, they went into her apartment to begin cleaning it out. There were two cats in there who were still alive! They must…
Written by Dave Hunt in “Beyond Seduction: A Return to Biblical Christianity” The early Christians went forth “preaching peace by Jesus Christ” (Acts 10:36), not crusading against weapons or demonstrating for a humanistic “peace.” Their message was that we have “Peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1) because He “made peace through the blood of his cross” (Colossians 1:20). This simple gospel that brings peace with God into individual hearts is the only hope for peace among…
Written By Michael Pearl Ever since the early church, Christians have been divided on this issue, more often coming down on the side that you are in danger of losing your salvation through sinning. The Bible clearly teaches security of the believer, and it clearly teaches that only those who endure in faith will be saved. Which side of the issue you are on depends on which group of verses you reject and which you cling to. But there are…
Many young women have privately messaged me who no longer want to pursue the career path. They want to learn homemaking skills instead, so they’ll be prepared for marriage and children. Yet, their parents want them to continue on the career path racking up a ton of debt. What should they do? God commands that children obey their parents (Colossians 3:20). Once a young woman is no longer a child, this verse no long applies to her. Yes, she must…
“Demonically inspired writings have been deceiving Christians for many years. God Calling, long regarded as a Christian classic and a perpetual best-seller in Christian bookstores, is another example. Tim Timmons has pointed out that although God Calling is full of good thoughts, much of what it teaches sounds as though it originated from the angel of light (“And not marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light” 2 Corinthians 11:14) rather than the living Christ. “The book…
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly…
“The fact that something produces seemingly good results is not reason for Christians to accept or practice it. Overweight Christians attempt to take off unwanted pounds by visualizing themselves as that slim person they hope to become. Our eyes are turned from Christ to ourselves. Instead of being transformed into His image by the Spirit of God, we now seek to transform ourselves by the power of visualization into the new self-image we have fantasized. “Visualization and other occult techniques…
Before I began writing for my blog over ten years ago, I knew I wasn’t a good writer. When I began writing, I kept apologizing for being a poor writer. A few months after I began my blog, a good friend of mine who teaches writing wrote to me and told me that I am a good writer. She told me that reading my posts was like having me sit across the table from her and talking to her. She…
