On Call for Christ
“For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of...
Why You SHOULD Reach Out
“Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.” Proverbs 11:14
“not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” Hebrews 10:25
When we face trials, challenges, tribulations, hardships losses, grievances, hurts, etc., the most important person in the universe we SHOULD reach out to and cry out to and hear and obey is the Lord Jesus Chri...
The Woman Who Forgot Me
“I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.” 1 Cor. 3:6-7
She was slim. Slight. Some would call her frail. Small build. Petite. Perhaps because she had chosen to be thin. Maybe not. She was homeless. She may not have had much to eat. Often enough anyway. Drugs could have played a role too. And alcohol. Only God knew her struggles. I knew when I met her she had plenty of them. She was in...

How I Found My Amazing Apartment
“Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.” 1 John 5:14-15
People especially in New York City are usually astonished when I describe the apartment I found in the city where I am on stop number #3 on my life out on the road full-time for the Lord and ministry. Located on one of the most famous streets in the city, 1...
In Search of Peace
“You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.” Isaiah 26:3
“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” Romans 5:1
Some people search their whole lifetime for peace and never find it. Some people search for peace and find little pieces and small seasons of it and find peace seem...

How I Learn to Love
““You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.” Mt. 5:43-45
“Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself,...
Request for Help / Loudoun County
Hi everyone,
A beautiful and precious sister in the Lord who is my faithful co-laborer in this little ministry works exceedingly hard each month to print, cut, fold, and staple an enormous amount of Gospel tracts and devotionals to be sent into prisons, homeless shelters, onto the streets, to me in New York City to distribute, and to people and groups around the country requesting them. She has the amazing help of the Lord Jesus Christ, but she does not have the human hearts and hands to help...

Five Ways to Hear from God
“My son, if you receive my words,
And treasure my commands within you,
So that you incline your ear to wisdom,
And apply your heart to understanding;
Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
And lift up your voice for understanding,
If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
Then you will understand the fear of the Lord,
And find the knowledge of God.” Proverbs 2:1-5
Only God knows how many ways He speaks to us. The Lord has brought me a mighty far way from not believi...
The Woman Who Couldn’t Hear God
“For your obedience has become known to all.” Romans 16:19…………..
She was suffering. Terribly. I didn’t need to talk to her to know it. I had heard from another. The same woman who had suffered for years, on and off much worse than other times, but, nonetheless, always suffering pretty significantly to one degree or another. I didn’t feel compelled to reach out to her this time. I had reached out for years. On and off. Doing my best to show Christ’s love. Sometimes falling short. Repenting whe...

The Wrong Hiding Place
“You are my hiding place;
You shall preserve me from trouble;
You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah”
psalm 32:7
I was curled up in an almost fetal position with my paralyzed dog Mr. Simeon on the mammoth dog bed that is positioned under a super long table in my little New York City apartment whereby I can use the top of the table for storage for dog items since I don’t have any closets and next to which I keep a tall stool I found out on the street that is the perfect fit for...
