Rest -Cease from Labor “Shabbat” to stop all activity- Now we know that the way the scripture is written, all activity has not stopped. Everything God created was complete, but He never stopped working. For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13). Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6). The day of Christ is when He takes us

·         Jesus was moved with compassion -   But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were  [ a ] weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd   (Matthew 9:36). And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them and healed their sick. (Matthew 14:14). Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed ” (Mark 1:41). ·  

The blessings of being in God’s will After reading my spiritual journey from 1982 up until this present time, I pray that you will use what I have experienced as a model (guide), because I modeled Jesus Christ and still do. We are called to imitate Christ (Ephesians 5:1). And as Paul the apostle wrote, I feel the same way: Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1). Although I am not perfect because the flesh is affected by this sinful environment, I have

The Word of God says: To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1). After my time was up to move from Greensboro, the next season was already ordained (ordered) by the Lord (Psalm 119:133). There were more physical challenges (afflictions) that also affected my emotions. But, by the grace of God despite whatever came and still come, I am still able to do the work of the ministry in whatever way the Holy Spirit leads. Being in Linde

This was the church divinely orchestrated and appointed for me to go into ministry. If anything was chaotic, this was one for real! But God had a plan. I wore several hats, and was pulled here, there, and everywhere! I am not blaming anyone but myself, but because I was told to do whatever the command was, I did it, and it caused me to have a health issue. I was not allowing the Spirit to guide me and there were consequences. For many years, I have encouraged and advised othe

Moving forward with how the Spirit of God led me to different churches. During many of my early years I attended a rural church where two families were the main members. One was my family, and there was several marriages between these families. One Monday morning on March 15, 1982, Jesus came into my heart. The next Sunday I told the pastor what happened; he told the church and he started praising the Lord. I was there about a year but my hunger for the Word of God grew and I

I interviewed my pastor a couple of months ago to write his testimony of God’s goodness, and I felt that the Spirit would have me to write about the church first. This has been in my spirit for many months, and now it is time to share with the readers what I have experienced. On Saturday, October 18, 2025, text messages were going back and forth with a friend, and some of our past experiences were shared. My friend did not understand why the Spirit led the two of us to a cert

There are so many negative things going on worldwide, yet positive things are happening too. It reminds me of Jesus coming into a cold and cruel world full of darkness, but amidst all the darkness He brought light (John 12:46). And that’s what my point is today. Despite all the negativity, I want to put emphasis on the positive. Since Jesus is no longer on the earth, He left His light to all born again believers. However, it’s up to them how bright their light shines (Matthew

I am putting two stories together how we are bussed to the centers, we have on site events in our community room different universities, and several programs. that keeps us busy and motivated. We have food delivered to us weekly from a couple of places, and fruits, vegetables, and meats once a month. Thank the Lord for management, social coordinator, and maintenance whom the Lord uses to be blessings to us. One of thee most recent programs was WISE a program to help seniors

Learning principles is thee only way one can grow.   For though by this time, you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.    For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.    But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is ,  those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good

My pastor has been teaching a series from the book of Hebrews and oh’ what an eye opener. Later I will post his story and another story about the church that God has blessed me to be in for a little more than three years. I have been a member of several churches, but never one like this. This message stems from some of the pastor’s teaching, only it is the way the Holy Spirit is directing me to write. Lost your interest? Is church service boring? Have you become dull of heari

If you have taken any medicine at all, it is known that they have side effects, and they can be very harmful, dangerous, and sometimes they have been known to cause cessation of life. This is a follow-up or piggyback from yesterday’s message about the ABC’S of Christianity. If the basics are not taught, it causes one to be subject to anything that comes along, because they didn’t start off properly on the foundation. If you want to live a long and healthy physical and spiritu

When learning ABC’S, it takes time to know all twenty-six of them. It’s a process and they must be in proper order. It’s important to strive to do our best, otherwise there are unnecessary backsets. I feel this would be a perfect example of the ABC’S- starting off the Christian walk as newborn babes; desire the sincere milk of the Word (2 Peter 2:2). Milk is the beginning, and mistakes come with life. We must learn the first or foundational principles (elementaries, basics) t

This message is for born again believers to understand the Biblical guidelines for marriage, for those who are already married, and anyone who is planning to be married. I have read, seen and know of some people who found their mate through the internet on certain websites. If you have done this and your marriage is still good, it is by God’s grace. There is a saying that “Nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors” and that is true. So, this is not a judgment call, it is
