A Closed Door
When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to. Acts 16: 7 What a strange thing for the Lord to prohibit, for they were going into Bithynia to do Christ’s work! And the door was shut before them by Christ’s own…
Healthy Families vs. Unhealthy Finances
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 1 Timothy 6: 10 Another of the top reasons that leads to divorce and adversely affects the family are financial issues. The following quote is from…
Our Riches Abound
Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ. Ephesians 3: 8 As a great divine said on his deathbed, “We are all of us only half awake.” The best Christian among us knows but little of…
Healthy Families Vs. The Sexual Revolution
Going back to the Pew Research Study and in particular the chart above that shows the percentage of children growing up in the various “family” arrangements.

Setting Boundaries
Remove not the ancient landmark, Which thy fathers have set. Proverbs 22:28 I heard a minister preach on this topic recently and admittedly, since the message was online, I did not follow much of his thoughts (as I was engaging in another activity). However, the thought of setting boundaries continued to stay with me. If…
The Ministry of the Holy Ghost
John 14: 15 – 32 (The link will take you to the scripture) If you look at the many religions in the world today, most of them believe in a supreme being or power. Some believe in a singular being others believe in multiple “gods.” Of those that believe in a singular god, the list…
Resting At Noon
Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon? Song of Solomon 1: 7 We have lost the art of “resting at noon.” Many are slowly succumbing to the strain of life because they have forgotten how to rest. The steady stream, the continuous uniformity of life,…
