For I know the plans (Sweet repeat from April 20, 2018)
“ ‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.‘ “ Jeremiah 29:11 NIV I love this verse. In late 2010 I adopted it as my go-to inspiration in battling cancer. You see, my prognosis […]
The boy Jesus (Sweet repeat from April 18, 2018)
“For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.” Colossians 1:16 NKJV Have you wondered about the boy Jesus? I’m positive you have. The Bible doesn’t tell […]
Do you believe demons are real? (Sweet repeat from April 11, 2018)
“You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that and shudder.” James 2:19 NIV Do you believe demons are real? Today most people feel the answer is “no”.

July 14, 2018, status report
The impulse for this website originated in summer 2015 (and three years passed before it became a reality.) I felt a need, a desire, a calling to reach more people for Jesus Christ. After all, His last command to us at His ascension was to make disciples. Everyone should endeavor to do what He instructed […]
Jealousy
“Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.” Exodus 34:14 NIV We typically think of jealousy as being a bad trait, and for the most part it is. Our society contains many jealous people. It seems to me that the wealthier countries have a bigger problem […]
It’s good to be king
“The people of Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand on the seashore; they ate, they drank and they were happy. And Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt. These countries brought tribute and were Solomon’s subjects […]
Timing of Jesus on earth
“I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ‘Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them.‘ “ Revelation 21:3a Have you wondered about why Jesus came to earth when He did? It occurred about 2,000 years ago in the Middle East of all places! Why didn’t He […]
Getting along
Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. Luke 12:51 Why can’t we all get along? We know much hate, division and strife exist in this world. Always has been and always will be. It was preordained long ago, when Satan first appeared in the Garden of […]
