What is the definition of desperation? Being desperate means feeling a strong, often urgent, need or desire, sometimes to the point of recklessness or despair. Essentially, it describes a state of intense wanting and a feeling that one's needs are not being met. How often do we feel
Yesterday as I made my way to our evening church service, the Lord begin to show me things in the Spirt. It was things that were super simple yet so profound. I was reminded that my Creator is still working to shape me and refine me. The scripture that came
2 Timothy 1:6-9 AMP 6 That is why I remind you to fan into flame the gracious gift of God, [that inner fire—the special endowment] which is in you through the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. 7 For God did

This will be the final post of the “What is Truth” series. It will be a little long but I feel the need to complete it today. I have had this Bible study for several years and really like how it is put together. As I arrange it, adding my
As we continue this study about “What is Truth?”, we start with the question. Who was given the message of salvation to preach? Matthew 16:13-19… 13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of
Let’s talk about the authority of God’s Word. 2 Timothy 3:16…16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. God himself really wrote the Bible through men. That’s why it never contradicts
Have you ever pondered the age old question WHAT IS TRUTH? I mean really questioned God about the truth in His Word? Personally, I have read the Bible several times all the way through and still find it hard to put it all together. My memory isn’t so good
I can’t get away from the thought of being offended. I am consumed with thoughts of people in the Bible that were offended by Jesus. It is so hard to imagine being in His presence and being offended by His words but it happened! Truthfully it continues to happen
I have been pondering “offenses”.

Greetings in the name of the Lord! I have been contemplating on this next writing all week. Of course, we all know the story of how Jesus died and rose again but I have been thinking about when He walked the earth just before His ascension. Jesus spent 40 days
We all know the story of Jesus being arrested, led before Pilate, being scourged with a whip called the cat of nine tails. He was so severely beaten that the flesh hung from His body. He was unrecognizable. The crown of thorns pierced his brow and He was hung on
(Matt. 26:47-56; Mark 14:43-52; John 18:1-11 ) 47 ¶ And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. 48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son
Greetings in the name of the Lord! Today we are going to talk about Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. Luke 22:39 And he (Jesus) came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. This scripture is pretty straightforward
Greetings in the name of the Lord! This month is the month of Easter. I feel to concentrate on the events that lead up to the crucifixion. This is such a powerful true story that demonstrates the love Jesus Christ has for us. Do any of us have a friend
