Jehovah Mephalti - The Lord my Deliverer!   One of the great themes of the Bible is that God is our deliverer.   The bible is full of accounts and foreshadows of God’s deliverance - from Genesis to Revelation - past, present and future!   God has promised to deliver all who, by faith, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as their...

“Open doors.”   What comes to mind when you think of ‘open doors?’   I would usually think in terms of opportunity or adventure.   Growing up it could mean hearing “shut that door, do you think you live in a barn?!”   Not all doors are meant to stay open.   Not all doors are meant to open.   Some doors are already...

“‘Therefore’ of the resurrected life”  

Hopefully we paused our busy lives on Memorial weekend to remember those that served our great Nation and who gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms - their lives.   There is one too that gave His life so that we might have hope beyond the grave - His name is Jesus.   As I grow...

Don Moen , stated: “God will make a way where there seems to be no way, He works in ways we cannot see.”

Jesus said, “…with men this is impossible, but with God ALL...

“Well may we pause to pay honor to her who after Jesus Christ is God's best gift to men, mother. It was she who shared her life with us when as yet our members were unformed, into the valley of the shadow of death she walked that we might have the light of life. In her arms was the garner of our food and the soft couch for our repose. There we...

Yes, “PAID IN FULL!”   Jesus paid our ‘sin debt” at calvary, but praise God He did not stay in the grave - “up from the grave He arose, with a mighty triumph o’er His foes; He arose a victor from the dark domain, and He lives forever with His saints to reign; He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose! (Lyrics, ‘Christ Arose’, Robert...

“PAID IN FULL!”   Those are sweat words.   If you have ever had a loan, you know and understand what a blessing those words are.   Or, maybe you worked for years to be able to purchase something in cash, you understand what a blessing to pay in full!   Something most of us can’t relate to though is someone else paying off our...
