For a Child will be born to us, a Son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. ~Isaiah 9:6 It’s Christmas! And as I was flipping through the Bible to contemplate all the many Old Testament prophecies that point us to theContinue reading “Christmas paradox”

And I heard the angel of the waters saying, “Righteous are You, the One who is and who was, O Holy One, because You judged these things; for they poured out the blood of saints and prophets, and You have given them blood to drink. They deserve it.” ~Revelation 16:5-6 Studying the book of Revelation is a wild ride. It’sContinue reading “they deserve it”

Listen to my words, Lord, Consider my sighing. Listen to the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God, For to You I pray. ~Psalm 5:1-2 I was recently talking with my sweet stepmother about our respective ongoing physical woes. She recently injured her back and has slowly and steadily been on the path back toContinue reading “pray for me”

“These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.”   ~John 15:11 I was just looking at some photos from a couple of years ago when my husband went skydiving for his birthday. Just viewing the series of 179 images brought me through aContinue reading “the Christian life is like…skydiving?”

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable, undefiled, and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, who are protected by the powerContinue reading “do you have a reservation?”

For those who are in accord with the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are in accord with the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.   ~Romans 8:5 My dog Bella had surgery a few weeks ago—I will spare you the gory details (puke emoji here). But since that time, sheContinue reading “cone head”

“These things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” ~John 16:33 The long ramp leading to today’s election has been rough, filled with astonishing vitriol, venomous hyperbole, and outright lies. I’ve tried to keep an eye on things fromContinue reading “I know who wins.”

Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. ~Romans 1:24-25 As you read through the Bible—and I hope you do regularly—thereContinue reading “same as it ever was”

If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions. ~ 1 Timothy 6:3-4 By and large,Continue reading “malnourished”

For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.” ~Romans 10:11 The book of Romans is amazing—and Paul is a master lawyer whose arguments are brilliant and irrefutable. This whole letter to the church at Rome drops one truth bomb after another. In fact, you could sit in each chapter for weeksContinue reading “all means all and yes means yes”
