Jesus in Matthew chapter five: “If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two.Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.” Every time I get burned… taken advantage of… the comments are always the same. My bookkeeper and others…
When asked the question he did not hesitate to answer. His answer was quick and precise. “Do you believe that gay people are going to hell”? His answer was “most certainly”. When asked if a non-believer, who just passed, was hell bound he answered with the same conviction. Please heed this warning! Certainty, not doubt,…
I was researching for a topic that puzzles me. I know the bible is a living document. It moves… it changes… it grows…. So many times I read a verse I have study my whole life, then suddenly I see something new. Why did I never see this before? Do you ever wonder why God…

My eyes have not beheld what my heart so clearly sees. Daily I reach for you… knowing that your hand will be there to guide me. To welcome me. I rest in the comfort that your light will shine… to lead… where my life must follow. That your love will bring freedom to my soul,…
She saw him but wasn’t quite sure who he was? He seems familiar but I can’t quite place who he is. He must have taken my Lord and I need to know where they have put him so I can care for his body. Mary had loved our Savior so much because he was the…
