My Lord, My God!

Are you familiar with the Bible story in which Thomas, one of Jesus’ 12 apostles, said he would not believe Jesus was raised from the dead unless he could see and touch Jesus? Jesus in His love, mercy, compassion, and patience allowed Thomas to do as he desired in order ...

Jesus Hunger

A friend told me she was so hungry for more of Jesus. I was a bit concerned about the way she spoke. Certainly I know what it is like to crave more and more of the presence of God, to be closer and closer to Him and Him to me, to have more and more of His Spirit taking residence within, to experience more and more intimacy with Him. My concern wasn’t about her desire. It was about her motive. But in another conversation down the road, she allayed my concern when she elaborated on her longing.

Wh...

I Am So Weak Father!

Know what this world’s trouble is when it comes to weakness and strength? Pride! Shame! Twisted thinking! Everything all mixed up! The world teaches us we are supposed to be strong in and of ourselves. The world teaches us we are to trust in ourselves not in God. The world tells us not to let others see our weaknesses. The world teaches us to exalt and magnify and puff ourselves up. The world is missing the only true and right answer to weakness! The Lord Jesus Christ! And our humbling ourselves...

My Lord, My God!

My Lord, My God!

Are you familiar with the Bible story in which Thomas, one of Jesus’ 12 apostles, said he would not believe Jesus was raised from the dead unless he could see and touch Jesus? Jesus in His love, mercy, compassion, and patience allowed Thomas to do as he desired in order to believe and then used what transpired as a lesson that those who are blessed are those who have the faith in His death and resurrection without needing to see as Thomas had. Speaking of seeing, I missed someth...

Good News Daily – Tues Aug 4

Dear friend,

Some of you may know the messages I send out in my Good News Daily are from the books I write as I am writing them before they are published and available in book form! The Lord has blessed me with being an extremely prolific writer. In other words, I write TONS. He pours messages in and through me so often and in such abundance I often have trouble keeping up! All of this to say the messages I will be sharing with you for the next week or so are from the book I just finished writin...

A Warning to the Wealthy

I have a warning for the wealthy. But it is not my warning. It is the Lord’s. A number of times in the Bible, the Lord issues warnings to those with earthly riches. Warnings about what happens when we get caught up in material wealth and become consumed with money and possessions and are lovers of money and pleasure more than lovers of Jesus. We can find ourselves seduced by money and stuff and entrapped in consumerism, materialism, and commercialism. In bondage to wealth. Yes, enslaved to matte...

God’s Patience

Do you struggle with patience as I do? When I consider the fruit of the Spirit the Lord calls us to bear, I see how I am strong in some areas and needing much more work in others. Like with patience. Patience just doesn’t come easy to me. Does it come easy to you? It’s not so fun to be patient, is it? It can be pretty challenging with certain matters and particular people, don’t you think? Maybe even seemingly impossible sometimes! But this message isn’t about our need for patience. It’s about s...

My Childhood Story

I have loved writing to an exceeding degree since I was a little girl, wrote many shorts stories and much poetry as a child, and to this day remember a short story I began decades ago and never finished. Sometimes my heart yearns to finish that story as I still remember the main character and the plot and adored fiction writing. But something has changed, and whether or not I finish that story is contingent on that change.

As much as I adored writing fiction and longed for years for it to be my ...

WARNING: Don’t Forsake Christ!

The Lord God almighty calls us to forsake all for Him. Not to forsake Him for the world. My beloved pastor who went to be with the Lord used to say, “We have to get the Word [the Bible] into us and the world out of us.” In essence, we need to get the world’s ways out of us and the Lord’s ways into us! We are to forsake the world’s ways and to live according to God’s ways instead.

We are not to live for self. We are to live for Christ. We are not to live to please ourselves. We are to live to ple...
