Enjoy the last Summer Holiday. A Labor Day wish to each of you, from the two Ann's which has two meanings. 1) The Holiday - is a day of rest from laboring -and also the last summer holiday. an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. The holiday is rooted in the late nineteenth century, when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize the many contributions workers have made to America’s strength, prosperity, and we

Walk in Abundance May your day be filled with abundant blessings. Something to be mindful of; everyone reaps what they sow! Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportun

Enjoying every senior moment. Yes, it’s time to highlight our seniors who keep it moving because they/we are motivated to and determined to continue to live the best of our latter years/days. We did quite a bit in the past nine months with the help of our onsite managers, the county leader, and our wonderful borough of Lindenwold (Administrator, Mayor, and Council). I am forever grateful for the blessings the Lord allowed them to shower upon us. We are blessed with an annual

Enjoying every senior moment. Yes, it’s time to highlight our seniors who keep it moving because they/we are motivated to and determined to continue to live the best of our latter years/days. Featured today along with some of the seniors, is one of our managers who keeps us moving with his funny rhymes, exercises, and o’ boy does he ever like to cut a rug! Smile. I enjoy being at the center with such a wonderful group of people, so much so, that the center is like a second ho

Jesus taught principles throughout the Gospels that still is our guidelines today. Some people including me have called the church a social club for years because there is more entertainment than teaching the people of God about walking in holiness; one of my prayer partners prayed about this a couple of days ago. I feel the Holy Spirit used her to encourage me to continue with this short series about compromising church. Writing about homosexuality was a tough one for me; ho

They Exchanged the TRUTH of GOD for a LIE! Continuing with the Church accepting ungodly practices. Boldly speaking the truth. This is what Paul wrote in Romans, chapter one. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith (Romans 1:16). Now to the abomin

A Double Standard Do you please God or a person; would you rather go along with sin (sweep it under the carpet, turn your eyes the other way) than please the God whom you claim to be your Father and condone someone’s abominable sin? Again, I am not talking about unsaved people, because all of us have committed some atrocious sin, because all have (in the past) fallen short of God’s glory before we were born again but now we are changed. Do you not know that the unrighteous wi

Sin on the Rise! This is a short series of messages- I am not writing to expose any particular religions or denomination; this is to expose the devil’s lies. One of the ways confirmation came was through the pastor a couple of days ago. Some other members and I talked about the blessing we received from the pastor’s message; we discussed how the Word of God is diluted (watered down) and the church is on a spiritual decline. As another person and I left the church and were goi

Be a Noble Christian who searches for Truths I heard a preacher say Christians can live above sin. Today I am going to prove according to the Word of God that as long as we born again believers on this earth we are affected by sin. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:8-7). If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us (

Where is Your Faith? If you’re broke; have no money, especially the way the economy is today; do you believe our God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus? (Philippians 4:19), I have been young and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread (Psalm 37:25). When sickness some upon you and you body is afflicted with pain. Many are the affections of the righteous (Psalm 34:19), do you believe (tr

Living the Life! Thank the Lord for the Sarah Norcross Senior Social Wellness Center and the Borough of Lindenwold who are beneficial to us in so many ways. The seniors have scheduled trips every month to go to whatever stores that are agreed upon. There is more to all the benefits other than going on shopping trips. Our seniors are motivated to keep it moving by the various activities, games, shopping, learning how to create floral arrangements with our horticulturist who co

Giving is Caring and Caring is Giving I started writing this message yesterday as a follow up on how God gives us all things to richly enjoy. In that passage, the rich (God’s children) have been given to the charge to take care of those who have less. Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give,

Balance is the KEY! Usually when someone asks a question about certain things, I feel that it would be proper to write a message, because some others may have the same question. The question was brought up about how I feel about line dancing. Remember these points- When Timothy and the other writers of the Bible wrote they were inspired by the Holy Spirit. Command- those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living Go

Do all to the Glory of God (Part 2) Not managing what God has entrusted to His people is another way that people do not glorify God. Many use excuses (cop-outs) are used that God does not accept, and there are consequences. Being a good steward of God’s money- This is one of the problems that is overlooked, swept under the carpet many use excuses to justify any form of gambling. Example- Is God being glorified when His children are mis managing His money? Do we have the rig

Do all to the Glory of God (Part 1) 8-25-26 Is Your Belly Your god? This has been posted before but in a different way. The reason for repeats is because Jesus did reemphasized in His teachings. Some of the writes of the Bible wrote similarly and one didn’t know what the other wrote. It’s the same in this day and time; people are presenting the same message, yet the method is different. Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God (1 Co

The Humble are Obedient! He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God (Micah 6:8). History- This was pertaining to the Israelites and how they had strayed from God. They were trying to find a way to win God’s favor the wrong way by. They were so spiritually ignorant they even proposed offering a human sacrifice to please God. In both the Old and New Testaments, God desired man to

Unforgettable! We were so deeply shattered by Paul’s sudden passing that it shook the very core of our inner being. This is a brief summary of a man who left a lengthy and impactful legacy that will be long remembered. Paul liked to talk; especially about the fire department, his former places of employment, and whatever conversation piece that came up, he had a wealth of knowledge that really perked our interest. Paul was a year round horticulturist, and we were blessed by

Don’t let anybody sway you from the truth. In my forty four years of being born again, I have been in eight different churches; all Spirit led. Each church was for a different learning experience that served God’s purpose in my life that would benefit me and others as I grew and began to function progressively in my ministry call. Mind you, this was not church hopping and running here and there trying to hear a word that would give me an emotional high, although I am a praise

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. What is extra- Biblical teaching? Something added that was not in the original scriptures. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth (3 John 4). Why did John write to the people in that era and for ages to come including the church today? Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world (1 John 4:1).

A Spiritual Slap is Good when it becomes necessary. While reading my daily verses on Sunday, this verse really hit me like a ton of bricks, because it is in line with the messages for this week. God is awesome and He confirms His Word. When the Word says righteous it could be Christian that is listening to the Spirit and knowing when the time is right. However, this message is prophetic in the sense that it relates to a specific person, but it can also be to a general audienc
