God’s Way Not Mine
“And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.” Judges 7:1 Sorry for the lack of posts. I had a “technical difficulty” with the blog site. But,
Gideon – We Must Be Related
When we last left Gideon, he was called on by God to lead the people of Israel against their enemy, the Midianites. As discussed before, Gideon was not exactly a “go-getter”. In fact, Gideon was hiding from the enemy. He was certainly not confronting them. He was avoiding the problem. Hoping it would not affect
Go In This Thy Might
“And the Lord looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?” Judges 6:14 Doubt is a powerful force. It can virtually paralyze a person. It can prevent us from performing our best. It can stop us from
What is Your Standard?
“But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 4:3-4 What is possibly the most
The Crux of the Matter
“Master, which is the great commandment in the law?” Matthew 22:36 This question was asked of Jesus by one of the Pharisees. Now you must understand that this question was asked, not by someone truly seeking knowledge from a teacher, but from someone trying to trap Jesus into saying something that would warrant His death.
The Essence of Ripples
The year 2020 has obviously been a little different. We have all found ourselves having more time with family (including pets) than we are used to. We have had the opportunity to reflect on our lives. We have been given an opportunity to see life in a different way if we choose to. At the
IF my people
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14 This is a very familiar verse of scripture for Christians. It is
Who Are You?
For several years now the Kendrick brothers out of Georgia have been producing family-friendly Christian-inspired movies. They have included titles like ‘Facing the Giants”, “Courageous”, and “War Room”. Last year they came out with their latest release entitled “Overcomer”. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it. I won’t give away the plot and
What’s Most Important?
“A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches…” Proverbs 22:1 My family’s year ended on a somber note of sort. My wife’s grandmother, Ms. Ruhama Hiatt, passed away. On the surface it is a sad occasion, but it did bring to mind for me something bigger. We were sitting in the funeral
Teach The Children
“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 3 John 1:4 I don’t know of any responsibility that we are given on this earth that is more important than the raising of our children. It is such an awesome privilege given to us by God. Unfortunately, we sometimes take
