I’m off and reading a new book. It is titled “The Jesus I Never Knew” by Philip Yancey. Having finished “Caste” by Isabel Wilkerson, it’s ironic this book looks into the caste of the Pharisees’ of Jesus’s time. The caste of Legalism and upstanding membership has continued on into pious church goers until […]
Who’s is Jesus
What’s Church and Fellowship?
In listening to so many people worrying over church closures, limits of gatherings and limiting how many can gather, I’ve decided to write about what is meant by the word “church”. In Ephesians, Paul tells us that Jesus Christ is the head of the church. As He saves us we become […]
Prayerful
Today I am grateful to God, through my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, for; mine and my families health, my youngest daughter whose birth is celebrated today and for my first born daughter who’s birthday is this Thursday. I’m grateful my Uncle Jerry and Aunt Kathy made it out of their house as […]
Caste
I’ve been having a hard time deciding what to write about. I sent a response to a gifted writer earlier who told of her experiences with racism (Nylse Esahc). I’m also in the middle of reading a book about the 12 generations of African-American slavery and the subsequent caste that was created to […]
The Human Heart
“There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of each man which cannot be satisfied by any created thing but only by God the Creator, made known through Jesus Christ.” – Pascal According to Romans it is with the heart that a person believes. For those who choose to turn from God, the […]
Church
I realize Summer is not over, however, my break is. I have missed writing and sharing my thoughts and knowledge of the Lord and scripture. The next bible study from Precept Ministries begins in September and Hallelujah, praise God for that. My brain is ready, my heart is ready and I’m restless for […]
Summer
Welcome summer! I’m ready for a break so this will be my last blog… maybe permanently. I’ve been writing, mostly for myself, and that’s a good thing. Its been therapeutic and helped me draw close to the Lord. My last study was so pertinent to our current atmosphere around the […]
Isaiah
Today was the final day of homework in my Precept bible study of Isaiah. I completed chapter 66 and have my final class tomorrow. It’s hard to reach the end. I feel that I’ve gained a lot of insight from reading and studying but also feel we just tipped the […]
God Loves Justice
I chose this image again because of recent events around the world. Protests broke out in our country first but, interestingly enough, other countries have joined in. The protests are mostly about justice. In the United States we have watched justice take severe hits lately and all but crumble in many situations. Unfortunately […]
Have You Met My Friend Jesus?
Above is from the shroud of Turin. That is a “photo picture” I found online, I imagine, from the image left on the cloth from the tomb of Jesus Christ. I don’t need a physical image of my Friend, however, because the bible gives me the clearest image a person could ever have. […]
