He Came Down
Luke 1:28-33 says The angel came to her and said, ‘Greetings, favored one, the Lord is with you!” But she was greatly troubled by his words and began to wonder about the meaning of this greeting. So the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God! Listen:…

Good News
Good news, you’re pregnant. Congratulations! These were the words essentially spoken to Mary. Yes, you’re not married, only engaged. Yes, the baby will not be you’re husband’s child. Yes, He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High God. He is Jesus, the Messiah. Whew, that’s a lot to take…

The Forerunner
There had been 400 years of silence from God; no prophecy or prophets. But suddenly, God is again speaking to His people. He spoke to Zechariah, the priest, that he would have a son who would prepare the way for the Messiah, John the Baptist. As the story unfolded, John grew up to become one…

God: Judge or Savior?
Recently in church, the speaker said that God is the Judge, but He would rather be the Savior. Is God the Judge, or is He a merciful Savior? The answer is Yes! He is both the ultimate Judge and the merciful Savior. Jesus left perfection and entered a human body, living it for 33 years…

I Was Wrong
Several weeks ago, I wrote about a song, The Goodness of God. In that writing, I mentioned that it was a great song, except for the line “Your goodness is running after me.” I couldn’t have been more wrong! Psalm 23 talks about the goodness and mercy of God running after us. It’s a beautiful…

Does Evil Reign?
The quick answer to this question is no! Evil does not yet reign on earth; God does. John 16:33 says, “I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In this world, you have trouble and suffering, but take courage – I have conquered the world.” NET God is in…

What’s The Point?
I got the dreaded jury summons. I prayed, “God, if I’m supposed to be on this jury, make it so, if not, please allow me to be excused”. I was put on a murder case! I knew it would be intense. There were two videos of the act. One an eyewitness phone video, the other…
