I have the same thoughts when people say “God said (this) to me.” Well stated! Thank you for sharing this video, Maria!

Washed In The Blood ~
September 10, 2018I hope this new gem from Deborah Ann brightens your day as it has mine. What a wonderful reminder!
Jesus’ blood,
washed over me
now His love
has set me free.
Free from quilt,
free from blame
for, upon Himself
He took my shame.
Jesus’ blood,
flooded over me
flushing out sin’s
grit and debris.
At not a cost,
His grace I attained
now through faith
I’m no longer sin-stained.
Jesus’s blood,
washed over me
giving me a life . . .
now sin free!
~~~~~~~~
“And from Jesus Christ,
who is the faithful witness,
and the first begotten
of the dead, and the prince
of the kings of the earth.
Unto him that loved us,
and washed us from our
sins in his own blood,
And hath made us kings
and priests unto God
and his Father;
to him be glory
and dominion
for ever and ever.”
Amen.

“What July Fourth Means to Me” by Ronald Reagan
July 4, 2018I saw that people were coming here to read this today so I figured that I’d reblog it to the top. CR
Ronald Reagan wrote the following for Independence Day in 1981. It was not written by someone else for the President. These are Mr. (President at the time) Reagan’s own words that were written with his own hand:
“What July Fourth Means to Me”
By Ronald Reagan
For one who was born and grew up in the small towns of the Midwest, there is a special kind of nostalgia about the Fourth of July.
I remember it as a day almost as long-anticipated as Christmas. This was helped along by the appearance in store windows of all kinds of fireworks and colorful posters advertising them with vivid pictures.
No later than the third of July – sometimes earlier – Dad would bring home what he felt he could afford to see go up in smoke and flame. We’d count and recount the number of firecrackers, display pieces and other things and…

Mission Possible ~
May 28, 2018God has blessed us through Deborah Ann once again with an encouraging and thought provoking poem of truth…
Your mission today,
if you should so agree
is to share the Good News
and tell others about Me.
Your subject today,
could be anyone
who doesn’t know
what for them I’ve done.
Your mission today,
if you should decide
is to let your light shine
on the reason I died.
Your actions today,
might just save a life
and bring someone peace
instead of eternal strife.
Your mission today,
is not impossible
for with Me . . .
all things are possible!
~~~~~~~
“And he said unto them,
Go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel
to every creature.

His Stripes ~
March 31, 2018This sums it up so well…
His stripes,
my forgiven sin
His chastisement
my peace within.
His wounds,
my transgression
His death
my redemption.
His bruising,
my iniquity
His crown
my victory.
His sorrow,
my corruption
His grief
my adoption.
His stripes,
my healing
His Spirit
my sealing!
~~~~~~~
“Surely he hath borne our griefs,
and carried our sorrows:
yet we did esteem him stricken,
smitten of God, and afflicted.
“But he was wounded
for our transgressions,
he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace
was upon him;
and with his stripes
we are healed.”

King Jesus is Lord of All
March 17, 2018Sherry’s blog, “He Hath Said” is a great place to get a good dose of the wonderful messages that came from the “Prince of Preachers.” Lately, I have been reading every post. Here is one of the latest…
Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free… – Colossians 3:11
Observe, “there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free,” in the new creation, but “Christ is all, and in all.” In the new world there is no difference between Jew and Gentile; Barbarian simplicity and Greek cultivation are as nothing. I suppose as long as we are in the flesh we shall set some store by our nationality, and like Paul shall somewhat glory that we were free born: but surely the less of this the better. Within the gates of the Christian church we are cosmopolitan, or rather we are citizens of the New Jerusalem only. As a man, I rejoice that I am an Englishman, but not with the same holy joy which fills me when I remember that I am a Christian. When…

Twisted Scripture – Exegesis VS Eisegesis
April 24, 2018Last week, beloved, we discussed hermeneutics and it’s roll in protecting us from twisting Gods Word. Today I’d like to talk about exegesis in comparison to eisegesis. These are big, fun words to say, like hermeneutics, but they’re actually very simple concepts to understand and apply.
Exegesis is the careful study of the meaning in each verse based on its context, the grammar used, the original language it was written in, and syntax. For proper exegesis of Gods Word we use the whole counsel of the Bible to form our beliefs. When I became a Christian I had to take everything I had been taught, everything I believed and set it aside, pick up the Bible and let God instruct me. How I felt, my experiences, and my previous training were not allowed to overshadow or muddy the scripture. Still today, when I hear something I don’t understand, or haven’t…
