Home from the Hospital (again…sigh)

Friday, I hemorrhaged again and went to the ER. God gives us the strength to endure and even rejoice in trials. We can rejoice in weakness, trials, hardships, persecution, and calamity when we understand God is building in us dependence on the glorification of the grace and power of His Son.

Amazing Promises Jesus Made

The majority of Christian men and women who pray to a Living God know very little about real prevailing prayer? Yet prayer is the key which unlocks the door of God’s treasure-house. It is not too much to say that all real growth in the spiritual life-all victory over temptation, all confidence and peace in the presence of difficulties and dangers, all repose of spirit in times of great disappointment or loss, all habitual communion with God-depend upon the practice of secret prayer.

The Prophetic Fall Holidays

The spring festivals clearly prophesied the first coming of Messiah; it stands to reason that the fall festivals are prophetic of His second coming. The long period between the end of the spring feasts and beginning of the fall holy days is symbolic of the long period between the formation of the church at the [...]

Using My Kindle as an MP3 Player

I have a Kindle Ebook Reader. It has become a part of me. I use it several hours each day–now even more. I recently  downloaded MP3 Bible study Breaking Free by Beth Moore (excellent study! see review below).

My Review of #1 NY Times Best Seller: The Shack

William P. Young wrote a fiction novel to teach his six children about his relationship with God. It is allegory about God’s grace healing brokenness.
Young planned on making a few copies of the book at Kinkos as gifts. But then he shared the book with a few friends. They told a few more friends [...]

What Have You Read Recently?

Last month on bed rest I did a lot of reading.  I indulged in several Christian fiction novels (a nice change for me). I discovered books by author Angela Hunt (best known for The Tale of Three Trees: A Traditional Folktale). I was able to download her books to my Kindle and read [...]

New Light on the Difficult Words of Jesus

I was recently in a restaurant browsing a flip chart with pictures of mouth watering luscious desserts. I ordered and eagerly awaited the delicacy.

I am excited. Amazon recently released the Kindle, an electronic book-reading device which lets you read your choice of more than 90,000 books, dozens of magazines, newspapers, and blogs. It’s so popular that the first batch sold out in under 6 hours.
Mind you, I have never been impressed by E-book reading devices. [...]

As [...]

The Marketing of Evil

Last night I was blown away reading The Marketing of Evil by David Kupelain. I placed the first chapter online for you to review. Read the excerpt–prepare to be shocked. I feel like the proverbial frog in the frying pan–slowly being boiled.
