Word Wednesday #93

Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. Genesis 19:22
Man prevented God from working--not because God is powerless, but because He is merciful.
But still...is my disobedience hindering God from what He wants to do in my life?

Coming Soon: "Journey to Love"

Yes, if you've been following my blog for the last year, you've seen me mention "Journey to Love" before (here and here). Well, the exciting time is coming when "Journey to Love" will be available to the public! 
It has indeed been a journey! And, as I like "behind-the-scenes," I'm going to give you some!
~The original idea came in September 2014. I first thought that Marie would be sent to her mother's French friend in Louisiana. However, in Spring 2015, the Lord gave me the idea of creat...

Biblically Speaking - These Seven Things: A Heart of Wicked Imagination

Part 14 in my study on what is abomination in the sight of God.
Recap:Many believers have fallen into accepting that which is abomination in the sight of God. Unless we study God's Word to learn His Mind on what is abominable, how will we know to purge ourselves from abomination? Lord willing, I will be posting the fruits of my study on the word "abomination," but feel free to leap ahead of me and study it for yourself. What is an abomination to God?

Susannah, Don't You Cry | Book Review and Giveaway!

By Zachary McIntire
About the Book
"I'll never forgive him - never!"

Chuck Kincaid made a vow of hate the day his father walked out, and he still keeps it ten years later. His sister’s bad choices, his mother’s drug addiction - he knows who to blame for all of it.

But when Susanna and Kelly get their lives turned around by Jesus, Chuck doesn’t know what to think. And why is the rich stranger with the scarred face so interested in being his benefactor?

Failure and restoration. Hate and forgiveness....

Word Wednesday #92

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 
Malachi 4:2


Our duty: to be faithful to fear
The promise: Christ will heal and bless
We are just to be faithful to God and obey Him.

Word Wednesday #91

Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Zechariah 4:6
We like to ask God for more of His might and power...but when have we asked Him for more of His Spirit?

Why I Write Book Reviews

Almost every time I write a book review, I think of the reasons that I write them. I have friends who review every book they read, and other friends who read without ever leaving a public review. Should you review books or not? I can't answer the question for you, but here's a couple of quite reasons why I write book reviews (as opposed to just slapping a "five stars" or "four stars" on it).

As a reader:I want to know if there's anything "ugly" in a book by someone else's experience and not st...
