    Nails Were Pounded

    On June 4, 2011, one of my granddaughters was at our house, and she was about to get her fingernails painted. While this was happening, my husband was watching the neighbors across the street from us get a new roof put on their house, and so there were lots of nails being discussed...

    Old Cross, New Cross

    The old cross is the cross On which our Savior died. He took our sins upon himself, And he was crucified. He died upon that cross To put our sins to death, That we might die with him to sin And live to righteousness. The new cross, not the same. On sin it puts no blame. It satisfies the flesh...

    Heard God say my name once...

    About 15 years ago I was sitting in the grass in a field praying and just thinking about the cross when a gigantic crashing voice exploded in my chest saying my name. Strange thing was that before I heard it, everything else went away. All the birds went silent, no wind, nothing. And then boom...

    My 12 Favorite Scriptures Pt 9

    Video Talk Luke 9:23-26 ESV I quote this passage of Scripture often because it is the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this speaks of why Jesus Christ gave his life up for us on that cross, and it speaks of what is required of us in the way of us cooperating with him in his work of grace in our...

    Hearts Which Are Far From God

    1 Corinthians 1:18-19 ESV “For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written, ‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.’” I wanted to understand what was...

    The Cross Emptied of its Power?

    1 Corinthians 1:17 ESV “For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power."

    Emptied of Its Power

    1 Corinthians 1:10 ESV “I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.” I have heard people say that if the majority is of a certain opinion then...

    Corrective Lenses Galatians 6:11 ESV “See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.” As we get older, our eyesight begins to go. We get cataracts which make seeing a lot more difficult. I have them, but they only impact my night vision so far. But, I don’t drive at night...

    Religious background issues. (BIO) - Need prayer.

    It's really odd how despite the fact that I believe salvation comes through God alone through Jesus Christ regardless of our spiritual and mental state, I still feel as if my salvation hangs by the 'weights and balances' of what I do with my life. Am I being slothful sitting here on my PC while...

    Christian Humanism - the new gospel?

    Taken from my blog site: Way Truth & Life There is a tare that has been sown in among God’s people that has devastated a vast population; Matt 13:24-30. It has come in the form of a gospel that has been packaged and marketed to suit the ‘buyers’ so that they would be sold purely for its...
