Acts 3

Being handicapped is a disadvantage to accomplish what is perceived as normal daily activities due to limitations. The world has a disadvantage when it comes to thinking about being handicapped; this…

Acts 2

My beloved; whether I know you or not understand what you are about to read. Why is it that blood washed; born again CHRISTians are divided with each other? Why are we so focused on denomination and…

For those of you who only have fire insurance; I encourage you to get full coverage. It’s wonderful to know that when your home or business is in danger of fire that you have coverage. But what if your home or business was in danger of other attacks? You will be left to your own devices because…

According to traditional Judaism Shabbat (the Sabbath) this day of rest begins a few minutes before sunset on Friday evening and ends with the appearance of three stars in the sky on Saturday evening. Once the Shabbat is completed this would become the beginning first day of the week. As Mary Magdalene and another Mary made their way to the tomb a great earthquake erupted. An angel of the Lord descended from heaven and…

Can you imagine that among the men that people were to look up to for righteous example that there were none to be found? After all; all of the chief priest and elders plotted against JESUS. They actually planned HIS murder; I believe we call that pre-meditated murder and when the act is carried out; you are not only charged with the crime of murder but you are also charged with the crime of giving it much thought as to…

Let me share with you the difference of each level of the Priesthood.

• The Great High Priest – JESUS who atoned for our sins and made it possible for us to approach the LORD GOD.
• The High Priest – JESUS who stands as the mediator between the LORD GOD and man.
• Chief Priest – leader of the Levites with…

I'm going to approach this chapter from a vocabulary point of view to bring it home as to whom JESUS will consider to be goats and whom HE will consider to be sheep. After you completely read the definitions; question yourself about where you are and if JESUS was to come and gather the nations right this very minute where would you be? Are you a goat or a sheep?…

How is it that each and every year so many people are deceived by those who proclaim that JESUS will return on this or that day? In this chapter; JESUS spoke openly about how many will be fooled and led to believe that HE will return on specific dates and yet instead of reading the book to see what JESUS has said they continue to be led by the nose ring. In my short lifetime there have been many who have said that the…

It has become apparent in today’s time we need to pray for those in leadership now more than ever. Especially those who are well known in the clergy; most of the men and women who are now well known began as unfamiliar to the world. They would give GOD the glory for all that HE was doing in their…

It’s so wonderful to know that GOD looks at the heart and not what we look like on the outside; our education or our abilities.

You can look like someone beat you with an ugly stick; you can have the intelligence of a rock and the ability of a pogo stick and HE can still use you to HIS Glory. The LORD GOD desires that…

Hey you reader; do you realize that the LORD has need of you?

Yes, you; HE needs you but you need HIM most. Why don’t you give the LORD CHRIST JESUS a praise right where you are; Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is HE who comes in the name of the LORD GOD Most High! Hosanna in the highest! Say over and over; let it…

There are many born again CHIRSTians who are not mature enough to understand why someone who has committed every crime imaginable and is dying can ask GOD to forgive and GOD does so. Many CHRISTians believe that because of the turmoil that the person has caused in the lives of others; that definitely that person has to be going to hell. But if the heart of the criminal is truly repentant and desire…

In this chapter of Matthew; JESUS touched on several scenarios and I will keep them short and to the point in explanation.

2 Kings 2:23 “From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. “Go on up, you baldhead!” they said. “Go on up, you baldhead!”

Good morning it’s Triumphant Thursday! The weather turned cool on us yesterday as the threat of winter bared down upon us from the northwest. Didn’t get much in Waldorf except rain, but gone is that balmy 55 plus degree weather and we are at 32 now with a high of 46 expected today. Oh…

Ahh, children; when they are born we love them up because they are so small and helpless; innocent in our view. Then they begin to show signs of growth and a will of their own before they are even a year old. And we begin to lose that emotional thrill that we had for them because they are becoming more demanding of our time. Gone are the days when all we had to do was feed; clean and watch them sleep. Now we are growing…

How many times in the book of Matthew is there a reference to the FATHER making this statement? “This is MY beloved SON, in whom I AM well pleased.” The first time we come across this statement is found in Matthew 3 after the baptism of JESUS. And now we come across that very same statement again in this chapter; with the exception the FATHER informed us that we are to “Hear HIM!” I like to go deeper and say that we are to do more…

When JESUS spoke about leaven the disciples misunderstood because they did not listen to all of what HE had said. All they heard was leaven and the disciples connected leaven to bread. But JESUS clearly said Pharisees and Sadducees in connection with leaven. Leaven is not only used to ferment fresh dough but leaven when attached to people is used as a warning due to corruption and perverseness of one’s life and heart. This was evident in the lives of the Pharisees and…

If you will dilligently seek the LORD’s face with all of your heart instead of expecting HIM to manifest outwardly, HE will release you into a place of rest and freedom. Faith is born through the inward connection, this is the place where prayers are answered. If you commune with GOD in that secret place, you will be hidden from stress and trouble. Come to JESUS, and rest. HE will establish you in joy and…
