When NOT to Act….

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.” James 1:5-6

Being on the road for Jesus full-time with 5 special needs doggies as a 51-year-old woman doing streets ministry and writing & publishing Gospel tracts, devotionals, and books comes with its challenges like anything in l...

Latest Little Letter from Lara

Some relatively new friends of mine who are going through multiple trials all at once contacted me from the homeless shelter where they recently moved to give me an update on how things stand. My heart hurts for all they are going through, but at the same time my heart rejoices. For they are strong believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, their faith is in Him, they love Jesus and read the Bible, and they have an amazing opportunity which every one of us has when we go through the trials of this l...

Latest MINISTRY UPDATE & PRAYER REQUEST

Being on the road for Jesus full-time with my little crew of special needs doggies in this day and age in the United States means I am well-versed in coming across unsafe situations. In the beginning of being on the road, every time something scary happened, I wanted to pack my bags and run. I was wise to want to run. But where I wanted to run – a new location – wasn’t the answer. I needed to learn when scary stuff happens while I’m on the road for Jesus, I need to run – to the Lord. For safe...

Today’s SERVING JESUS IN YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE

The Greatest Sorrow of All…

“Now a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?”

So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’‘Honor your father and your mother.’ ”

And he said, “All these things I have kept from my youth.”

So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, “You still lack one thin...

Today’s THE CROSS DEVOTIONAL

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
For they shall be filled.” Mt. 5:6

There is no greater tragedy to me when it comes to people who say they believe that Jesus Christ is Lord than how many people I meet who fall into these categories:

* They call Jesus Lord but don’t read the Bible and live their lives like He’s Lord with their hearts and lives truly yielded to Jesus.

* They call Jesus Lord and read the Bible and live their lives accordingly but live their lives relig...

Blessing #30

“And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.” John 6:35-37

Can you imagine never getting hungry? And never getting thirsty? Under any and all circumstances, always being filled w...

DO YOU WANT TO MAKE THE SACRIFICE?…..

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.” Romans 12:1

Sacrifices are hard, aren’t they? Sometimes harder than other times. The idea of sacrifice usually goes along with giving up something or someone we want, doesn’t it? Something material, our time, our heart, a relationship, our way, our desire, a dream we have, somewhere we want...

Today’s Little Letter from Lara

Dear friend,

The best refreshing in life doesn’t come from a good night’s sleep or a wonderful far-away vacation or a trip to the spa or anything of this world at all. It comes from time spent in the presence of the Lord with our hearts and Bibles wide open to the Lord and His Word, to His love, grace, peace, hope, joy, comfort, wisdom, direction, conviction, chastening, lordship, fellowship, friendship, communion, graciousness, mercy, plans for us, purpose for us, and to His voice speaking...

Today’s MINISTRY UPDATE & PRAYER REQUEST

I have a sweet humble dear friend who works tirelessly to try to keep up with all the Gospel tracts, devotionals, and devotional magazines I write that go out around the United States while the Good News Daily online goes out around the world. She has the help and strength of Jesus, of course, but right now she has no human help in folding, stapling, and shipping enormous numbers of them so they can be distributed on the streets, in prisons, in homeless shelters, through street preachers and...

“I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is a servant of the church in Cenchrea, that you may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the saints, and assist her in whatever business she has need of you; for indeed she has been a helper of many and of myself also.
