  I watched the sunrise from my bedroom window, an amazing and beautiful lightning storm upon a pink and orange backdrop with billowing, clouds hung in the Sky. While watching the amazing display put on by my   Creator, I rejoiced as I read Luke's account of my Savior’s resurrection! The lightning flashed the thunder roared He’s still in control this Easter morn’! The empty tomb stands there to prove that the power of death couldn't keep my Lord. The gates of hell did not prevail this King of Kings — the Lord Supreme. He it is who's risen indeed, transactions done, the victories won. The temple veil no longer separates but now beckons us unto that holy place for his blood has paid for our redemption. And there he stands, Himself, the Redeemer and High Priest calling out to all who may look to him and you'll be saved; our propitiation and Interceder: Jesus Christ God's own precious Son! now we look for His great return but until then repent from your sin leave your b

 By Christina Right now, take a moment and think of the top three things that you personally think you are identified as. And no reading further until you have come up with these three things! (I had to say that because I know what kind of person I naturally am😉.) Okay...now, list the top three things other people usually tell you that you are. Do you feel like the two brief lists are similar? In what ways? How do you see them differ? Do you feel confident in this identity? Or perhaps, you might honestly feel insecure and rather useless because of the contemplative answers...? As I was doing a little study for a ladies’ fellowship time, I was emphatically struck with something that I hadn’t noticed before in a rather common biblical account. In fact, my Oxford KJV Bible’s study notes helped to greatly highlight it (...you’ve gotta love a wholesome study Bible with the Scofield Study System👍)! Ruth. Who was she? Who did she see herself identified as? Who did others perceive her to be

By Mrs. Linzey   Resurrection time is the greatest celebration a Christian can commemorate. Christmas is that beautiful time of recognizing our Savior’s birth. Yet the Christmas season is not complete without looking forward to the victory of our Lord and Savior over sin, death, and the grave, which is celebrated on Resurrection Day (Easter).   Several years ago we recognized that our culture has hardly celebrated Resurrection time in its true sense and we as a family desired to have that time set aside as one of greater importance than we had before. So we set out to change some things in our own family traditions, and added some things as well.   Decoration Since Resurrection often falls either at the end of March or beginning of April nowadays, we take the month of March to intentionally enjoy wonderful music and a choral build-up to a Resurrection Cantata. We usually have a missions focus by placing different missionary cards on display as a reminder to pray for the l

By Anna “Anna, I need your help.. (Sigh)” I heard my little sister tiredly exclaim to me as I passed by her desk in the living room. I glanced over her shoulder and saw that she was working on a colorful math page. (I love it when schoolwork looks appealing!) “What do you need help with?” I inquired. She silently pointed to an assignment involving creating her own multiplication and division equations with provided digits typed above the blank boxes.  Quickly, I thought of how I should try to re-explain the written instructions, but then I realized that too many words would bore her already tired mind and weigh it into a daze. “How can I best get this concept across in the easiest form for her to comprehend and execute with ease right now?” and the answer came speedily: work a similar exemplary equation and let her watch and hear my mental thought process.  I chose different digits to work from, then copied the format of her little page onto a blank sheet of notebook paper. Without s

by Anna   The fullness of time... What a concept! Sometimes I have wondered about the magnitude of that statement in Galatians 4:4 when Paul, through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, described the timing of Jesus' entering into this world ~ to enter into our world, and manifest Himself as the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Life. Time. We often feel that there is never enough of either one. But God, in His sovereignty, has placed the universe in which we live into the fragile and limited confinements of both life and time. Not only is the conscious recognition of life and time a continual reminder that we are not as big as we think we are. They both are also amazing gifts that each and every one of us have been gifted with; to use, to invest and to develop so that we can learn, grow and equip ourselves for the purpose of glorifying God and bringing honor to His name. Time has passed since our last post, and life has swiftly traveled right along side the passing of time. Many mem
