Love Those Who Love You?
Especially this month with Valentine’s Day, there is a focus on love—does that mean you are to love those who love you? I saw a bumper sticker the other day that read, “He (referring to God) is not a respecter of persons and we should not be either.” I thought how...
Be Wise; Make the Most of Every Opportunity
Ephesians 5:15-16 states, “Be very careful, then, how you live–not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.” Now 2018 has gently been ushered out like the morning sunrise does the dark of night with its radiant light....
A Child is Born
We celebrate Christmas each year because a Child was born. This Child, the Messiah Jesus Christ, would fulfill a promise for which the nation Israel had been waiting. Isaiah 9:6 states: For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his...
Love Has No Color
An important message we need to remember in light of our nation’s plight, is that “love has no color.” This was the title of a song by the Winans in 1987 and still it is an important message that needs to be heard in 2018. The reality that it is still needed is a sad...

Isaiah’s Profound Vision
In the year that King Uzziah died, Isaiah had a vision of Jesus Christ, who is the King of kings and realized he and the people he dwelt among had unclean lips. In Isaiah 6:1–5 (NKJV), it states, “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne,...
New Life!
I have a loved one in the hospital receiving chemotherapy. She didn’t want to receive this treatment; she was not feeling the effects of her illness. The doctors have prescribed a cure – she must submit to chemotherapy treatments before undergoing a “bone marrow...
Walk in Liberty
Psalm 119:45 KJV states, “And I will walk at liberty, for I seek Your precepts.” The New Living Translation states this same verse as, “I will walk in freedom, for I have devoted myself to your commandments.” This month we reflect on liberty, because on July 4, 1776,...
Purpose for Today!
“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us… Therefore, we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are...
