The Little Children and Jesus

The Little Children and Jesus

Let the little children come to me. Luke 18:16. Have you ever made a public confession about your belief in Jesus and wanting Him in your life as The One Who guides you? Is there a christening, baby dedication, or baptism certificate on the devices, wall, mantle or table in your home? Perhaps a video, book, photo or some remembrance of that special occasion is a part of your family’s treasures. That time shows how unique and special you are to GOD, His Son JESUS, your family, and all who believe in and follow GOD! The Little Children and Jesus People were bringing little children to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them [the disciples]. When Jesus saw this, He was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little...

God’s Creation—Look at the Birds

God’s Creation—Look at the Birds

 “Look at the birds of the air: … your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?”- Matthew 6: 26 ESV. Brrr! Too cold to go outside. It’s winter and not much to watch outside. But look! See the birds? No matter how cold it is, they get up every morning and get to work looking for things to eat. They hop around in the freezing weather, chasing each other for food. Something catches a bird’s eye and off he goes to see what he can find. How do they survive? They have tiny birdbrains and don’t go to school to learn anything. They aren’t strong or clever. They don’t have refrigerators or cabinets with food. They don’t have blankets, or coats or boots. How do they exist? What if you saw a bird driving a little car around your...

Revelation 22:1-7—Heaven Prepared Just for You and Me!

Revelation 22:1-7—Heaven Prepared Just for You and Me!

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and His servants will serve Him. They will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign forever and ever.  Revelation 22:1-7 Recall a time when you were invited, or that...

God Is Forever! Forever Is a Looonnnngggg Time

God Is Forever! Forever Is a Looonnnngggg Time

Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations. Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.  Psalm 90: 1 Who or what is the oldest person or thing you know? You have become acquainted with one of our Presidents who lived the longest of all other Commander-in-chiefs. President Carter lived a century of Christian service. Yes, 100 hundred years. That’s a lot of candles, right? How about great-grandparents? An old farmhouse? An uncle’s military medal? A nearby oak tree? Your parents’ first grade teacher? A hand carved wooden rocking horse?  Your neighbors’ golden retriever? These are perhaps “old.” Whoever or whatever you are considering, GOD has existed far...

Writing for God’s Kingdom: Sharing Stories That Help Others

Writing for God’s Kingdom: Sharing Stories That Help Others

Stories are powerful—they make us laugh, teach us important lessons, and help us feel close to each other. For Christians, stories do something even more special: they can help people know God better and feel His love. Writing stories for God isn’t just about making up fun tales; it’s a way to share His goodness and bring hope to others. Jesus: The Best Storyteller Jesus was great at telling stories! He used stories to teach people about God’s love and how to live for Him. For example, the story of the Prodigal Son shows us how God always forgives and welcomes us back (Luke 15:11–32). The Good Samaritan teaches us to be kind to everyone (Luke 10:25–37). When we write stories about Jesus or how He helps us, we’re doing what Jesus did—sharing God’s...
