I would have loved to have Paul for a friend. He was always making mention of his friends in his prayers, praying that God would strengthen them and show Himself to them. In Philemon, Paul writes, ” I always thank God when I mention you in my prayers, because I hear about the love you have for all God’s holy […]
Have you ever read a verse in the Bible many times over with a general understanding but then all of a sudden you receive a powerful new insight? For some reason I was reading in Proverbs 31 (You know the virtuous woman passage or the passage about the super christian woman. ) For the first time verse 10 stood out. […]
One of my New Year’s resolutions a year ago was the verse James 1:19. In the New Century version it says ” My dear brothers and sisters, always be willing to listen and slow to speak. Do not become angry easily.” I must say I am still working on it and some days are better then others. This verse came […]
When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we become a new creation. As a new creation, we will then start to see the world differently. In Galatians 6:14, Paul tells us that through Jesus Christ the world has been crucified to us and us to the world. This means how we relate to the world around us will change. In […]
In Galatians 5:1 Paul tells us that it was for freedom Christ set us free. So what are we going to do with this freedom? Well, Paul has a few suggestions. 1.

Galatians 4:6 NAS And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba, Father.” Isn’t it neat that the God of all creation put it into our hearts to cry out to him to seek him. God has put a hole in our heart that can only be filled by Him. […]
I have enjoyed thinking about this battle between Faith and the Law, yet not knowing how to put it into words it has taken me a while to write this blog . Let us start with Faith. For Faith to work I need a relationship with God. How can I trust the promises of someone I don’t know? How can […]
At this time last year, I had no idea what our first year of homeschooling would be like. I must admit teaching my daughter went better then I thought. It took a while for us to get use to each other but we both loved books so we often couldn’t wait to find out what was happening next. It did […]
Galatians 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and delivered Himself up for me.” Even though the first part of this verse is very hard […]
I Choose
Yesterday as I was driving to church, I was feeling a little down for no reason at all. As I thought about it, I was tempted to dwell on it. Then I remember that I was going to worship God and Satan doesn’t like that. So in my mind, I prayed that God would help me to refocus on Him […]
