How You Should Move Forward

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,
And He delights in his way.” Psalm 37:23

How should I move forward? I wondered late one morning. The Lord was clearly moving me forward in my ministry work magnificently, and I was humbled beyond measure at all He was doing in and through me. I didn’t have any employer or director over me, so the only one I had to answer to was the Lord. I was indescribably thankful that I was totally free and available to simply seek and follow the leading of...

Man with the Banana

“Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” Psalm 103:1-5

“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house...

Get Rid of Them

“Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”” Mt. 22:37-40

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report,...

Woman Who Gave Her Heart

“And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, and He saw also a certain poor widow putting in two mites. So He said, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all; for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had.”” Luke 21:1-4

Why do you suppose Jesus honored the widow who gave her tiny bit of money instead of the rich people who gave a little bit of their huge...

Paralyzed Mercy’s Opportunity

“Oh come, let us sing to the Lord!
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;
Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.
For the Lord is the great God,
And the great King above all gods.
In His hand are the deep places of the earth;
The heights of the hills are His also.
The sea is His, for He made it;
And His hands formed the dry land.
Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
For He is our God,
An...

Update & Prayer Request from Lara

Thank you for continuing to pour forth your love & encouragement & prayers for me and this ever-growing ministry with which the Lord has entrusted me.

No sooner than I had begun to get some greatly needed rest than the Lord started to pour even more writing through me than He already was! I am literally having trouble keeping up with it! Now that’s a praise, mind you!

I have two co-laborers trying to keep up with preparing the Gospel tracts & Faithful Magazine for distribution to the prisons,...

The Blessing of Being Weak

“Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Cor. 12:8-10
