Jesus is the Light. He came to this earth as a light in a world of darkness. Our world is getting darker and Satan is at work trying to subdue the light while he still has time. But, the good news is Jesus is coming and his light cannot be subdued! Until then, we must be the light, reflecting the light of Jesus in the world around us.

I AM’s…The Bread of Life
I thought it would be fun and interesting to go through the “I AM’s” in John that Jesus proclaims. Saying “I AM” was kind of taboo in the Jewish society because they did not want to utter God’s name Yahweh that he proclaims to Moses for the people, which means “I AM.” When Jesus said to the people, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM,” they were angry and offended because they did not believe that He was God (John 8:58). But He is and has shown through the miracles and His death and resurrection. He lives today in each of us that believe and trust in Jesus Christ. Today we will start with the first “I AM,” The Bread of Life. Continue reading “I AM’s…The Bread of Life”
Only Jesus
Who or what do we worship? Is there more than one way to get to heaven or to be with God? Can we have access directly with God or must we go through someone or something else or do certain things? There is no other way accept through Jesus. He is the only way. He is all we need to receive salvation. God’s Word is clear on this. It is my prayer that all of my friend, family and readers understand this. I pray that God gives me the understanding as I read (and write). I find that it is such a joy to learn about Him and I hope you will too. Continue reading “Only Jesus”
Jesus in Glory
Have you ever wondered the purpose of Jesus’ transfiguration? Why did Jesus reveal Himself in glory to only the three apostles? What was the significance of Elijah and Moses being there? Why did He tell Peter, James and John to not tell anyone until after the resurrection? Let’s see what we can find out about it. Continue reading “Jesus in Glory”
Anxious for Nothing
How do you handle stress? My workplace is about to close and it is the only place in town. That means almost everyone in this community will be affected; families, businesses, churches, employers and employees, After 15 years and not too far from retirement, we will have to sell our house, find a new job and move. My Dad is getting old and beginning to struggle with his health and mind. We are going to have to leave our friends behind and find a new church…once we find out where we will be living. There was a time when I would have been devastated by this news, but I feel at peace. Don’t get me wrong, I do feel stressed and some days more so than other days, but I also know God is in control; He has gotten me through tough situations before and I know that He will again. I have heard before somewhere that God sometimes calms the storm we are in, but other times He just helps us through it. I do not know what the future will bring, but we will be alright one way or another. All I can do is pray and leave it in God’s hands, search for jobs, wait and listen for God’s voice. We have our part to do; we can’t just sit back and expect God to hand us everything on a silver platter, but we can’t get wound up and stressed out or try to do everything on our own either. That is something I need to keep reminding myself. How do you handle stress? Continue reading “Anxious for Nothing”
