Oh, to be more Christ-like! That should be every Christian's aim! That's what we need to strive for and pray for... so that when we stand before Him... He will say to us, "Welcome home, thou good and faithful servant."Dot McEntirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09498323771150865060noreply@blogger.comBlogger251100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540750936769483733.post-81838262357807726052011-02-26T09:59:00.003-06:002011-02-26T10:32:32.685-06:00

(Psalms 139:14-17) “I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Wonderful are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well. My frame was not hidden from thee, When I was made in secret, And curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written,Even the days that were ordained for me,

I pray your life is a true testimony of faith in our Father's tender care. When we pray we should always speak of hope and be confident of God's answer! He always answers our prayers... it may not be the answer we want, or His answer may not come when we think it should, but our Father cares for us and will NEVER leave us nor FORSAKE us!Hebrews 13:5 "...I will never leave thee, nor forsake

I'm sure you've experienced another person's harsh judgment of something you did, a decision you made, or how you dressed or how you looked. It's painful, isn't it? Anyone with a healthy outlook on life wants to be liked and respected. When someone harshly judges us we begin to question our worth... it's a natural thing to do. This is what Jesus was talking about in Matthew 7:1 "Do not

Many times over God has given me opportunities to learn how to trust Him and I pray what I've learned will be helpful to you। I first wrote this devotion for a dear friend's daughter, but God has laid it on my heart to share it with you too. I pray my discovery will strengthen your faith and give you courage to be steadfast in your trials. All my life I've been a stubborn, rebellious and

When my precious mother was murdered by my dad I suffered a long and arduous trial of grief (I was only 27 years old). When my husband broke the news to me I suddenly felt like I was a hundred years old and knew my heart would never be the same. The suffering I was going through stayed in my mind for years. I was not a Christian when my mother was murdered but I started longing for the truth. God

"Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God, for I shall yet praise Him, Who is the health of my countenance, and my God."-- Psa_42:5, Psa_42:11; Psa_43:5.I have often been discouraged and I know you have too. It's not a sin to be discouraged... but it is a sin to allow your discouragement to turn your heart away from God. When you're discouraged

Below is a devotion by F.B. Meyer (1847 – 1929). I have always enjoyed his devotions but this one was special to me because I've often felt like Martha (not saying I am as practical as she was but I've been known to be like her in my faith). Martha's sister, Mary, seem to easily believe and follow Christ. It's not that I have doubts of my salvation, but, like Martha, I struggle with my daily

Several years ago I was unhappy with my home (because it's an underground home with not much light inside - although we did add skylights). I began to complain to my husband and to God about it.Then I saw this documentary about a couple from North Korea who lived in a village where most everyone was starving and they decided to take a dangerous trek into China to live and work। They felt it was

Did you know the number of Rapes and Sexual assaults for the year 205 was 188,960? (according to the government's Bureau of Justice Statistics) ( http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/abstract/cvus/number_of783.htm ).I know someone who was raped recently and it breaks my heart to know she's going through torment over it. She's been spiritually, emotionally and physically wounded. There's nothing I can do

Drug remedies for spiritual problems: by Todd Strandberghttp://www.raptureready.com/rr-drugs.htmlEach year, mankind spends hundreds of billions of dollars on drugs that provide relief for physical aches and pains. It would be nice if there were wonder drugs that could be applied to common spiritual problems. Thankfully, although we can't find such a quick fix, the Bible provides the only known

"THE GOLDEN RULE"1. Where can we find the GOLDEN RULE? The first place to look is in the Bible: Matthew, chapter seven.[Mat 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.Mat 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you.Mat 7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine

What Is True Christianity?This is a serious question and one I will answer, but first, I want to update you on what is happening to my Bible study on prophecy and talk about doing personal Bible studies. I am putting aside my prophecy study until after we attend a Bible prophecy conference in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on April 3rd and 4th. At the end of this blog is a link for you to check out this

Hello dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,I am still working on the Bible study of "Jesus soon return" and will be sending installment number two in a few days. But today I wanted to send out a different Bible study.Over the past couple of days I've had two dear friends ask me if Satan can read our minds and if an unspoken prayer request is Biblical, so I thought I would add to a Bible study I

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,This is the first in a series of Bible studies I will be sending on the soon return of Jesus Christ. Now, I'm asking you to bear with me on this because I know there are some who will say, "Oh, no! Not another kook saying the 'sky is falling' and setting dates on the return of Jesus." I'm certainly not setting dates and will never do that but I do believe we

Hello dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,I'm sure there are times in everyone's life when they question God's dealing with them. I know I've had my own times of trials and heartaches and questioned my Father about why I was suffering over certain situations. God doesn't mind our questions. However, He does mind our not being willing to trust Him for the outcome of our trials. We need to trust

The characteristics, reputation and results of each are well worth knowing - if wisdom is your goal.What Is Your Goal?The Bible says a wise man gives good advice but the foolish man lacks common sense:Proverbs 10:21 - "The lips of the righteous feed many; but fools die for want of wisdom.Now, I've

When I read Pastor Baxter sermon below (about a child's responsibility toward his/her parents) I felt sure his sermon needed to be sent out. We often hear of the parents responsibility towards their children (and rightly so) but today's society is full of "self-centered" young people and one of the reasons is because we failed to teach them their responsibilities.This sermon (as you can see) is

Silver is kept in a furnace until all the dross is eliminated, and this is what God is

Our nation has turned away from it's Christian heritage and I believe we are under judgment (and have been for a long time). God sends warning signs all the time and if we take the time to think about it we can clearly see those signs: the terrorist attacks and threatening of more attacks; all the terrible hurricanes; horrible tornadoes; terrifying earthquakes; devastating fires; ravaging,

When I first became a Christian I didn't know a thing about theology (the study of God and the doctrines and beliefs of Christianity) or eschatology (the study of last things such as death, judgment, and the destination of the soul).I wasn't raised in church and although I did attend a few times, whatever part of the Bible I heard washed off me like water off a duck's back.I questioned what would

We in American often think only Christians living in a foreign country suffer because they are Christians, but God's Word says all Christians who are trying to live godly lives suffer. 2 Timothy 3:12 - "Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."Are you living Godly in Christ Jesus?
