Therefore, whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. Matthew 7:24-25 I love … Continue reading Build on the Rock

Who is This Child in a Manger? (repost)
I am taking the liberty to repost this blog from a few years ago. Even if you read it then, it is always good to take another look at Yeshua. We easily forget who He is and why He came. Yeshua wasn’t born on December 25th, but it is the day that the world traditionally … Continue reading Who is This Child in a Manger? (repost)
The Golden Rule
Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:12 Jesus just got through telling those gathered on the mount to ask, seek, and knock until they received from God the things they needed to do His will. But He adds this instruction. He tells … Continue reading The Golden Rule
ASK – SEEK – KNOCK
After Jesus laid out the basics of how the Kingdom works and how to expect Holy Spirit to lead us, He offers keys to kingdom blessings that require our initiation. Let’s see what He has to say. Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be … Continue reading ASK – SEEK – KNOCK
Pigs and Pearls
Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces. Matthew 7:6 Now here, Jesus gives some wonderful wisdom that we need to be applying today. Dogs and pigs are both considered unclean, unholy animals. The term … Continue reading Pigs and Pearls

These same verses are also less understood by those who are so ready to attack others whom they believe are not practicing them correctly. Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the … Continue reading Judge Not

For God, who said, "Let there be LIGHT in the darkness," has made us understand that it is the brightness of His glory that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. But this precious … Continue reading Day 3 – Celebration of Light
By God’s Prompting…
I am a writer but not a great PR person. I can promote other people's writing and such but I feel awkward in promoting my own. If you are new to my site, you may not know that I've written 5 books since 2017 and God was the One who initiated each of them. Each … Continue reading By God’s Prompting…
What Do You Value Part 2
As we continue in Matthew 6, we find this scripture nestled in with counsel about what we value. What do our eyes have to do with what we value? Let’s see. “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your … Continue reading What Do You Value Part 2
