When God Says Don’t Pray by T. L. Wiens There are times when the Bible leaves me with more questions than answers. That is the case when I read 1 John 5:16 in the KJ which says: “If any man sees his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him… Continue reading WHEN GOD SAYS DON’T PRAY

THOSE URGINGS IN MY SPIRIT
Those Urgings in My Spirit By T. L Wiens About a week ago, a name kept coming up in my head. It wasn’t the name of someone I see a lot but I do know her. It isn’t the first time this has happened to me and I know when this happens, I need to… Continue reading THOSE URGINGS IN MY SPIRIT
SAYING THANKS
Saying Thanks by T. L Wiens “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

PASSIONATE PLEAS
Passionate Pleas By Mary Haskett Recently the pastors in our church have been encouraging the congregation to study Jesus’ ministry in some detail.

They had a miraculous escape through the Red Sea and were on their way to the Promised Land. Yet only two of the original group actually arrived at the final destination. The… Continue reading COMPLAINING
COVERED
Covered by Kimberley Payne Looking back, I recall the many times that I had done stupid things, yet somehow I didn’t get hurt. Specifically, I remember my university days as being full of stupidity. For instance, one cold November evening I decided to leave a house party and walk home. This wouldn’t have been so… Continue reading COVERED
OUR INSURANCE
Our Insurance Janet Sketchley commented on last Friday’s post called God Never Runs Out: “Thanks for this reminder, Jan! Thinking about some of the things we refill… I tend to use them sparingly, ration them so I don’t run out. Often that’s silly because it’s an easy thing to replace. Sometimes it’s a special thing… Continue reading OUR INSURANCE
