I have been thinking lately about what it means to be led by the Lord and not driven by law or formula teachings, which we have probably all been taught, in some form or fashion, in our Christian lives. More than once I have had a sister-in-Christ confess to me that they were dealing with jealousy towards someone else (that someone else–being me.)  They sighted the verse in James, “Confess your faults one to another….” ...

The holidays are upon us!  Unfortunately, I often hear people complaining about having to spend time with individuals who aren’t very pleasant and loveable; they ”bit and devour” others.  (I wish I could wave a wand and make all the meanies disappear, but that is not reality.) Here is my combat strategy:  “And be not conformed to this world:  but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove...

Every evening Chris reads several devotionals to me and I thought this one was exceptional, so I want to share it.  This writing comes from Andrew Wommack and his book entitled:  ”Faith, Hope and Love”. “Proverbs 14:17  He who is angry (quick tempered) acts foolishly, and a man of wicked intentions is hated.

I (like everyone else) have had my share of oppositions and problems.  (Today, I will try to be extremely evasive because I wouldn’t ever want to intentionally hurt anyone.)  Again, I conversed with someone who just can’t believe how MY enemies are humbled.  They reminded me off a list of accusations and embellishments declared against me.  Now, all these things are somehow getting turned back around on them.  (This...

Some of the songs that come on the radio are testifying an Old Covenant mentality.  (They focus more on what you are to do for God than what He has done for you.)  Therefore, I have to turn them off and I don’t allow my children to listen to them either.  (I am very careful what I subject myself and my young ones to.  If songs aren’t on the New Covenant/Completed Work of Christ vein–I [we] won’t listen!)  Prov. 18:21...
