Quickly make a list of the benefits of believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. What are your top three?

My top three would probably read like this: . . .

November 1st, 2019, my Dad was released from his fragile, pain-ridden, earthly tent into the loving arms of his Savior. Finally, my Dad is pain-free and dancing with his Jesus. I’m happy for him! And I look forward to joining him some day.

As I prayed about a fitting tribute to publish here, the Lord reminded me of two things: 1) a touching memory and 2) a poignant poem. . . .

My battle with the flu last week taught me a valuable spiritual lesson: God’s power comes as I use my authority, in Him. . . .

Twenty or more Healing Room volunteers crowded into my front room to pray over our ministry. As we prayed, someone mentioned that they saw angels up in my loft area. I snapped my head in that direction anxious to see angels in my own house! Alas, I didn’t see them. . . .

Ethnic hatred has been dissolved by the crucifixion of [Jesus’] precious body on the cross. Ephesians 2:15 TPT

By dying as our sacrifice, Jesus has broken down every wall of prejudice that separated us (Eph. 2:14b) and has brought us back together as one family.

There is an allegorical picture of this in . . .

Yes, eat all your greens.

Yes, exercise regularly.

Yes, steward your temple.

But our bodies are only a temporary tent, as fleeting and . . .

All Christians celebrated “God’s feasts,” the feasts that God established, until about 300AD. At that time the Emperor Constantine made Christianity the state religion and stripped it of its Jewish roots. He gave us Christmas and Easter instead.

Until I became an avid Bible reader, I thought the feasts . . .

Jacob (Father of the 12 tribes) was created, but Israel was formed (transformed). Our patriarch, Jacob, wrestled with God by the brook called Jabbok. There God changed his name to Israel. You can review the story in Genesis 32.

I see in this a picture of our regeneration in Jesus Christ. It foreshadows the “born again” experience. Jacob was created, as we all are, . . .

God called me to start this blog to share the “nuggets” that He gives me from His Word. Still, I must confess, that I sometimes listen to the negative voices in my head. The voices that say, “Why do you waste so much time on that blog? No one cares about your ‘nuggets.’ You have nothing to offer. Etc.”

When I succumb to those negative voices . . .

I started reading Saara’s book as an assignment for my church. We are beginning a worship dance ministry, and my assignment was to glean ideas for documentation. However, I became so engrossed in the book that I forgot about my assignment!

Maybe you have no intention of dancing or flagging during a worship service. I know I didn’t! But . . .

Ever since I first wrote the devotion entitled “Mercy for the Mean,” the Lord has been nudging me to rewrite it. And I can see why. The original version (I will leave it up for comparison) has no mention of God’s supernatural enabling to forgive in the face of true evil. So here is my second attempt. Please send me an email with your comments.

Previously, I had viewed this scripture in the restrictive sense. In other words, God was limiting His grace and compassion by saying this. As if God is saying, only a few people are afforded His grace, but not all.

Actually, the intent of the verse is exactly opposite. God is explaining to Moses about His goodness and . . .
