Mercy: Our Identity

I like to say that mercy feels the needs of others. In our Christian walk we could describe mercy as a sympathizing spirit (attitude) with saints in distress, weeping with them that weep, suffering with them that suffer, being touched, as their High Priest is, with a...

Christmas Gifts

I was on an airplane coming home from a meeting and was thinking about what I was going to write about in this months newsletter. I started thinking about how close we are to Christmas and about buying gifts. I enjoy buying gifts for people. I love to see the look on...

A Different Direction

This is the time of year when people make new years resolutions. They want to change the way they are living and go a different way. The word repent comes to mind. It means to go in the opposite direction. One definition of insanity is to do the same thing and expect...

The Help Of The Lord

With everything that is going on in the world today I have come to one conclusion: we need help. I read today where gas is over $5.00 per gallon in California. It has become dangerous to go out in public and even to send our children to school. We are indeed...

Is God In Control

I was praying for someone recently concerning healing. When I pray for people I like to talk to them and find out what level of faith they are operating on. By doing that I can more effectively minister to them. When I asked this person if they believed God would heal...

Such As I Have

I was reading in the Book of Acts recently and something jumped out at me in the third chapter. Acts 3:1-8 (1) Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.(3:00pm) (2) And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb...

Our Bill Of Rights

We, that are, citizens of the United States of America have things available to us that citizens of other countries do not enjoy. We have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Our forefathers created a Bill of Rights for us on September 9, 1789,...

Called To Overcome Not Adapt

  God does not want His children to adapt to their circumstances; He wants them to overcome their circumstances and have victory over them. The word overcome means to get the better of in a struggle or conflict. It means to overwhelm and overpower. The word adapt...
