Where Life Is, Hope Abound

The 7 Seals of Gods wrath
My prayer is, that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so that you will know what the hope of His calling is, (and) what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints. Eph 1:18 Matthew 24 is one of my favorite chapter in the gospels. Jesus has told us... Read More

Job 1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. Now that man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil.

Rehoboam 1 Kings 14
As I read 1 Kings 14, about the reign of evil King Rehoboam, the son of King Solomon, grandson to the well-known King David, my spirit was disturbed, not angry nor judgmental.

Not Settling for a Sinful lifestyle
If you are like me, you would have realized by now that not all old habits die after Salvation. Paul the Apostle spoke about his battles in Rom 7:15-19.

Glass Half Filled
I am a glass half fill type of person. I have already decided that I believe the Bible no matter what. So even if I do not understand some of it, I still believe what I read is true. My focus is never on the half empty (what I don’t understand yet or what people... Read More
The Web Is Not Our Enemy
Everything could be used for good and evil, even our abilities. Take the Holy scriptures for instance.
