OLD NATURE – NEW NATURE

This morning, my thoughts will continue on the importance of the Holy Spirit working in our lives. The working of the Holy Spirit, you might say, cleans up the inner man, spiritually, giving the believer a new nature, making us holy, a new creature in Christ. But we are responsible for consecrating (or setting apart,) … Continue reading OLD NATURE – NEW NATURE

This Is THAT…

Today's thoughts are of the utmost importance in the believer’s life. For this is that, in which Christ Himself said, was to come after He went to the Father. Yes, God and our Lord Christ Jesus, is with us in power, through the working of the Holy Spirit in us. May you be blessed with … Continue reading This Is THAT…

ARE WE LEAVEN OR UNLEAVENED?

This morning, reading in Matthew, I find interesting the teachings of the Pharisees and Sadducees, their self- righteousness, and Christ’s teachings and His comparison to leaven bread. Because of their own self-righteousness, lack of reading, understanding, believing, and obeying God’s Word, some have professed and gone astray in their belief. They follow the doctrine of … Continue reading ARE WE LEAVEN OR UNLEAVENED?

BELIEVE, TRUST AND OBEYs

Of most important today, is that we must know the doctrine of the Word of God, and to obey the Word of God. As we hear the Word and believe the Word, we then must be a doer, (or you might say to apply,) the Word into our everyday life. The key to hearing the … Continue reading BELIEVE, TRUST AND OBEYs

The Day I Received Jesus

The summer of 1965 remains unforgettable to me. At the age of ten, I am grateful to the Gospel teacher who invited me to VBS that year. There, the Gospel was shared and taught vividly with the help of a flannel board, illustrating the concepts of good and evil, God and Satan and the love … Continue reading The Day I Received Jesus

God’s Divine Power

It was early spring in 2004. The Sunday prior, I was arranging my trumpet equipment alongside fellow players in our church band. One of them inquired if I planned to attend the upcoming revival. I affirmed, declaring that not even illness would prevent me from participating. I had been earnestly seeking God through prayer and … Continue reading God’s Divine Power

God Answered

Time flies swiftly by. In 2004, my daughter was a fifteen-year-old growing into a beautiful young woman. One night, while praying for her, I fervently asked God to bring a respectful young man into her life. Within a few weeks, my daughter, alongside her cousin and friend, encountered a handsome young man at K-Mart, busy … Continue reading God Answered

The Change

This event occurred in December 2004, during my service as a Letter Carrier for the U.S.P.S. To set the scene: the President of my Letter Carrier Union asked if I would lead the prayer at their Christmas Banquet. I agreed on the condition that I could speak for five minutes. He replied, "Take as long … Continue reading The Change

When God Speaks, Listen

On a beautiful spring day in 2005, as I departed from the Post Office to deliver the mail route, I was overcome with an overwhelming urge to pray for my son Josh's safety. I pulled over and took a moment to call upon God for his protection. Afterward, I phoned Josh to ensure he was … Continue reading When God Speaks, Listen
