He knows when I am down. He knows when I need encouragement. He sends others in my path to straighten me up. He faithfully points the way. He silently and patiently waits for me to return to the place near Him. He understands.
God knows the desires of my heart. Jesus, my Savior, loves me beyond [...]

Thankful Thursday
Today I’m thankful for:
Last second protection from what could have been a really bad wreck on Tuesday.
The opportunity to teach the boys, without consequence, the reason for sitting properly in a car with the seatbelt on.

He is Glorious!
When you need a reminder that God still cares…
When you need to remember all that He has done for you…
When you find yourself wondering just who’s in control of this crazy world…

He went walking and leaping and praising [...]

Acts, Chapter 2.
Verse 1
“When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.” Acts 2:1

Acts, Chapter 1
Wow! I didn’t realize that I was going to write four posts before even getting to the first Chapter! Thanks for sticking with me so far :0)
Now’s the part where I make observations, ask questions, and depend on all of you to help me with the answers. This past Sunday’s message by Bro. Mike spoke [...]

Acts, the Gospel Funnel.
Here we go with the definitions again …
funnel – A conical utensil with a small hole or narrow tube at the apex used to channel the flow of a substance into a container.
The book of Acts, as J. Vernon McGee points out, is like a funnel. Prior to Acts, we see the four gospels, [...]

Acts is a Verb.
The word, acts, is defined as:
To play the part of; assume the dramatic role of.
To perform on the stage
To behave like or pose as; impersonate
To behave as suitable for.
These definitions could assume a lot about the typical church goer. Definition #1 often describes those who “play” church. Unfortunately, many people make a point to go [...]
