I went fishing one evening with my Daddy this week. Fog started to settle on the water right before dark. It was the middle of the week so we only seen about two or three other boats out on the water. It was so calm and peaceful. I could hear the owls hooting (I love owls), I heard some fish jumping, and watched the bats dart down towards the light of the boat. As it grew darker we kept making our way to different locations to fish. By the light […]
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13-14 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, […]
Every time I tried to make it on my own Every time I tried to stand and start to fall And all those lonely roads that I have traveled on There was Jesus When the life I built came crashing to the ground When the friends I had were nowhere to be found I couldn’t see it then but I can see it now There was Jesus In the waiting, in the searching In the healing and the hurting Like a blessing buried in the broken pieces Every minute, every […]
“You can be sure, the Holy Spirit never enters a man and lets him live like the world.” A.W. Tozer For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake His faithful ones.

“Love as if your eternity depends on it.” This quote was on a church sign that I have passed a couple times. I have pondered on this quote for several weeks before really letting it sink into my heart. LOVE as if your eternity depends on it… Jesus tells us in Matthew that the second commandment is to love thy neighbor as thyself. Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all […]
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one […]
—–*Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; BEARS all things, believes all things, hopes all things, ENDURES all things. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8*—– We love him, because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians […]
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the […]
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, […]
O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good: for His mercy endureth for ever. Psalms 107:1 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High.

Hebrews 13:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Colossians 3:15 Giving thanks always for all […]
