Quit Being Mean to Me

Quit Being Mean to Me

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;” Matthew 5:43-44

Quit being mean to me, and then I’ll love you. Quit hurting me, and I’ll be kind to you. Quit disappointing me, and I’ll help you. Quit being unkind, and I’ll give to you. Quit being rude, and I’ll be mer...

Love Amid Suffering

Love Amid Suffering

“Charity [love per Strong’s concordance]suffereth long, and is kind…”1 Cor. 13:4

If you’re like just about everyone, believer in God or not, you’ve probably heard the verses beginning, “Love is patient, love is kind… (1 Cor. 13:4 (NASB),” right? Have you heard, studied, and applied it to your life as it’s translated from the original Hebrew in the King James version? God’s commands to us above all else are to love with all our hearts, and to love others as ourselves (Mt....

How I Started My Ministry

How I Started My Ministry – A Lesson for Us All

“According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Philippians 1:20-21

How did I start Walk by Faith Ministry? Short version? God called. I answered. YES. It was NOT my dream. NOT my desire. NOT my plan. NOT my hope. NOT where I was headed...

Before It’s Too Late

Before It’s Too Late

“When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multipli...

Trials, Tribulations, & JOY

Trials, Tribulations, and JOY

“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” James 1:2-4

“…not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the...

Winning the Lottery

Winning the Lottery

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Matthew 6:19-21

So here’s my confession. I do lots of daydreaming. It goes with the territory, I suppose. I am so madly in love with the Lord that I am...

The Death of Desires

The Death of Desire

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.” John 12:24-25

One morning I woke from a wretched nightmare about one beloved to me, and others so beloved to me, all in real life taken abruptly and tragically, gut wrenchingly from me. I came to my knees, begging...

Three Life-Changing Words

Three Life-Changing Words

“And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord. Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch. Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.” Acts 11:21-23

Three life-changing words. BELIEVE. TURN. CLEAVE. Believing in...

Take Shelter

Take Shelter

“…Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings.” Selah. Ps. 61:1-3

Just when I felt I couldn’t handle one more loss let alone any more rejection, along came more. So big it’s hard to describe. People, memories, d...
