The Lord has showered me with many “talents.” For decades, I exalted in the attention I received. Glory to God in the highest, for breaking down my pride with arthritis. It has caused me to grow closer to Him in every way! 🎹🎶🎼🎵
New addition to our garden – “Rainbow’s End Dwarf Alberta Spruce.” Reaching only six feet, it is pot perfect.
As a keeper at home, I strive to please my husband with everything I do. He especially loves evergreens, and is well pleased with this potted tree. I did underplant with red petunias, which provide a striking contrast.
The bright yellow tips, which are new growth, are delightful and a unique feature to this area. I highly recommend this wonderful, small tree. Hearty to -30 too!
Joy, joy, joy…do we live joyfully? We should, because every breath we draw is a gift from God.
It is a fact that we will be tempted during our earthly sojourn. It is also a fact that the Lord always leaves us a way out. Always.
There is no excuse for perversion in the pulpits.
Total submission to His Word is our goal.
Date setting is NOT Scriptural.
The Lord can even save a wretched sinner like me….
Proverbs 31:28-30 KJV
[28] Her children arise up, and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praiseth her.
[29] Many daughters have done virtuously, But thou excellest them all.
[30] Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: But a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
It is extremely prideful to harbor the thought that we are purer and more holy than other Christians because this one verse exposes our true nature.
How do we bring every thought captive?
It is a daily offering to the Lord. Devotion. Repentance. Confession. Praise.
I have met people who tell me they “just keep the Ten Commandments.” What a prideful and delusional statement that is! No one, except for our Lord Jesus Christ, could keep ALL the laws. Even thinking that you are a good person, at any time, is blasphemous, because only God is good, and you would be putting yourself on His level.
Colossians 1:16 King James Bible
Author’s note: This article was originally posted May 20, 2013. I believe the admonition issued here—to “watch” and discern with the armor described in Ephesians 6:12—is all-important because we face today ever-increasing deception by our chief enemy. Demonic Divide Dark, spiritual forces in high places are at work. There is no groundbreaking revelation in that…
Demonic Divide
Genesis 2:8 KJB
And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
There is a reason we are drawn to green spaces. It is our natural abode. Any place of work, even a factory, will benefit from greenery.
My indoor hibiscus, underplanted with petunias I grew from seed two years ago. Thank You Lord Jesus, our blessed Creator.
Since I was old enough to understand it, I’ve believed, taught, and written about Dispensational Theology. I just call it “Left Behind Theology.” Critics say it is a modern invention that came along in the 1800s. Please, read the Bible. The prophetic angle of Dispensationalism represents one-third of the Bible. Simple Definitions Dispensationalism teaches a literal Antichrist, a…
Is Left Behind Theology Being Left Behind? :: By Jan Markell
“America’s pastime,” as baseball is termed, seems to also properly define this nation’s obsession as we approach July 4, 2026. By that, I mean the obsession with pride. And I’m specifically referring to gay pride, which is made by the mainstream media today to look like America’s pastime so far as keeping this social perversion constantly in their…
Pitchers of Pride in this Pre-Trib Rapture Time
Proverbs 28:15-16 KJV
[15] As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; So is a wicked ruler over the poor people.
[16] The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: But he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
Proverbs 24:30-34 KJV
[30] I went by the field of the slothful, And by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;
[31] And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, And nettles had covered the face thereof, And the stone wall thereof was broken down.
[32] Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.
[33] Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep:
[34] So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; And thy want as an armed man.
Two observations:
