Christmas Music #7

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day

Advent Day 7: Light of the World — Brave, Blessed, and Beautiful

Good Morning Gorgeous, It’s a brand new day. A fresh new start. A new day to rise and look toward the light. Light is a form of energy that sustains life. Light drives out darkness. Where there is light, darkness has no fighting chance. When you flick on a light, the dark and the light… Advent

The Wise Reprover and the Listener — Life Hub

Blessed are you when someone corrects you. Being told what to do or how to do things may not always be a balm to the ego. It can also be an unwelcome advise to others. It stings to be corrected but the sting is momentary and if we dare to listen and obey wise correction, […]

Tuesday’s Verse, 12/7/21 — Real Christian Women

The God Who Never Forgets — Feeding On Jesus

(This devo is a continuation of my previous post, “How To Ask God a Question”) In spite of Zechariah’s unbelief, God still kept His promise to him. Gabriel’s pronouncement to the elderly priest, even after his unabashed articulation of doubt, was “My words will certainly be fulfilled at the proper time” (Luke 1:20b, NLT). Sure enough, around […]

Rest In Him

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet. “the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” which means, “God with us.” Matthew 1:22-23 Rest in Jesus, my friends, forgetting about the worries of the world. Focus on Him,

Here am I. — Learning From God’s Word

Isaiah 57:14-59:21; Ephesians 3:1-21; Psalm 111:1-10# “’Here am I,’ says the Lord” (Isaiah 58:9). “Here am I”, says Isaiah (Isaiah 6:8). Our “Here am I” only has meaning within the context of God’s “Here am I.” It is because He is ‘the God who is there’ (Francis Schaeffer) that we can draw near to Him – […]

Imagine There Was No Christmas . . . — Reasoned Cases For Christ

Imagine there was no Christmas. Imagine that God did not exist.Imagine that what was right was whatever you wanted it to be, and that wrong had no consequence. Imagine there was no justice nor compassion for the weak. Imagine that forgiveness served no purpose and that liars could freely speak. What a world we would […]

Peace, Power, Purpose — Learning From God’s Word

Acts 3:1-4:4 Contrast the Peter we see at the time of Christ’s death and the Peter we see here. There was failure, frustration and fear. Now, there is peace, power and purpose. (a) Failure – Peter denied his Lord. (b) Frustration – Things could have been so different, if only I had confessed my Lord. […]

Empathy — On the Outside Looking In

Empathy is the ability to not only understand but also share the feelings of others. Not everyone has this ability. Not everyone connects with the hurt, sadness, etc… experienced by others, especially when they inflict that kind of pain on others. I had a happy moment this last week when empathy clicked for a client. […]
