God’s Family


He provides resources for the family

“For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life.

If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).  He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails you. Today, families face demanding situations, made difficult because of what is going on (or not going on) in our schools, our society and the world. The whole world suffers when we leave God out of our family life. Take heart though with Christ you have strength. He has all you need to face your family’s daily challenges (Philippians 4:13).

Your family’s makeover begins with prayer. Your family’s hope rests in faith…faith in Jesus Christ, and His love for you and every member of your family.

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

A Chosen People

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God” (1 Peter 2:9). Like new born babies, craving pure spiritual milk, we hunger to grow more in our salvation, especially now that we have tasted that the Lord is good. Wouldn’t you agree? Once you have discovered that the Lord is good, and that you belong to Him, you want more, a lot more of Him! He who has chosen us has unleashed our desire to know more about Him and we develop this insatiable appetite to learn more about our King. So, as we come to Him, entering His gates, He who is the living stone – rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to Him – we also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house. We are His royal priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices to Him through His blessed Son, Jesus Christ. This spiritual house with its chief cornerstone, who is our precious Jesus, will never be put to shame. As a chosen generation, we are to live our lives before the world...
