Passage: Acts 12:1-18 Key Verse: “You’re out of your mind,” they told her. When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.” V. 15 “Can you believe it?” It was not the first time I asked my husband that question in a similar situation. Something extraordinary happened and another prayer was answered just in time. God showed up at the eleventh hour once again. I should not be surprised. This has happened countless times during my two decades as a Continue Reading
Warning Signs
I watched, amused, as people ran up the stairs of the stadium, dragging their bags, cameras and crying babies. Some had an awkward smile on their faces; others looked surprised to have found themselves completely soaked. Still others did not seem to have found much entertainment in getting wet. I glanced at the opposite side of the arena and realized that the seats that were so coveted before the beginning of the show sat empty now. Shamu and her friends had put on their best fin forward and Continue Reading
Before You Take The Next Step…
“Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act”. Psalm 37:5 “I should call him.” “I’ll miss the opportunity if I don’t act right now.” “Sure, count me in. I’ll do it!” Patience is a virtue I don’t naturally possess. Only with the help of the Holy Spirit am I able to wait upon God. A natural “type A” personality, it’s hard for me to stand on the sidelines, not moving a finger. My tendency is to say “yes, I’ll do it!” and to get busy making things happen instead of waiting on Continue Reading
My latest AJC Column: “God’s Not Dead, But Too Many Believe Otherwise”
The movie theaters are currently showing the intriguing and inspiring story of a college freshman who accepts the challenge to prove his atheist philosophy professor wrong. On the first day of the semester, the teacher states that he does not want to waste time debating the existence of the “man in the sky”. So he proposes that all students sign a paper with three words on it: God is dead. The young man refuses to sign the paper and accepts the challenge to prove the professor wrong. He has Continue Reading
Keep Your Eyes On Israel… And on Jesus!
"The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious Day of the Lord." Acts 2:20 Great part of the world watched last night, as the moon turned blood red in the first of four cosmic events that will take place in the next 18 months. Nasa has identified the dates of the Tetrad as April 15th and October 8th of this year, and April 4 and September 28th of next year. In his latest book “The Four Blood Moons”, pastor John Hagee uses historical data Continue Reading
Believing Lies About God
Key Verse: “See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.” Colossians 2:8 I sat quietly on the pew, listening to the teacher as she explained about the relevance and meaning of the sacred ordinances of the church. Confession and Communion was the subject that day, as I attended the course that prepared me to receive my first communion as a Catholic 13 year Continue Reading
