Speak whether they listen or not…

Today several verses really jumped out at me… “But you shall speak My words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious.”  Ezekiel 2: 7 “And he said to me, “Son of man, feed your stomach, and fill your body with this scroll which I am giving you.” Then I ate it, […]

how to stop being a stumbling block…

Was just reading this — “And the Lord’s bond servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and

I confess! … and YOU are a witness to it.

I was reading today in first Timothy Chapter 6. There were two verses that really stood out to me. –verses 7 and 12. Verse7 is, “For we have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either.” Verse 12 says, “Fight the good fight of faith., take hold of the

The Warning Trumpet

Let me share something has been really pressing on me.  I sense the need to “sound the warning trumpet” in the spirit of Ezekiel 33.  This passage of scripture is where God gives the command to watch and warn people of approaching danger. Let me show you these verses. The word of the LORD came

God is not mocked.

I was reading today… “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. “For the one who sows to his own flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit shall from the Spirit reap eternal life.”          Galatians 6:7-8 This

Can’t grow fruit on your own

I read today… “But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.”   Galatians 5:22 NAS This is the fruit that the Holy Spirit grows and the life of the one who has Christ as Lord and Savior. We become a

Here’s where I put my faith…

I was reading today — “…nevertheless, knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the

The sound of the bugle…

I read today in I Corinthians 14:8 the following: “And if the bugle gives an indistinct sound who will get ready for battle?” I have a concern for our nation and for the people who are being misled by the false messages of our culture. I have a burden to sound a Warning Trumpet to

God perfects that which concerns me.

I read in Psalm 138:8 —“The LORD will perfect that which concerns me;Your mercy, O LORD, endures forever;Do not forsake the works of Your hands.” I am the work of God’s hands. He is my Creator and I am told that He knew me and saw me before I was born. That means that He

Confronting those who oppose truth.

In Acts 13 Paul is presenting the Gospel to Sergius Paulus, the Pro Consul of Paphos, but a sorcerer, Elymus, sought to turn the Pro Consul away from the faith. This is what Paul said to him: “O full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness,
