Hold on to your Birthright
This morning during my commute to work, I continued my 60-day overview of the Bible in Genesis 25:19-34. It is the story of Jacob and Esau. As I read the story, I seemed to have taken a particular interest in verses 29-34. 29 Once when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the open [...]
Haiti Earthquake Anniversary – 1 Peter 5:7
Not by your might
Last Tuesday evening I read the entire book of Revelation. I was determined to refresh my knowledge of the prophecies. After I completed reading it, I decided to read the book of Daniel. I have always been told that you can’t really grasp a full understanding of Revelation without reading the book of Daniel. So, [...]
God Remembers
This morning during my commute, I picked up my Kindle and continued my 60-day overview of the Bible. Today’s reading was Genesis 6:1 through Genesis 8:22. Here we covered the story of Noah and the Ark. God had become so turned off by the sins of humanity, he decided to wipe everything out and start all over [...]
The blame game
He bit into it and just before he can savor the taste, he realized what he had done. He looked at his wife and noticed something different. We’re naked! They grabbed some leaves to cover themselves. Then, they heard rustling..Oh No! God is walking around in the Garden. HIDE! Oh Adam! Where are you? God [...]
Where did Sunday come into play?
Sunday came into effect in the early church. When Christ ascended into heaven, the early Christians continued to keep the Sabbath at the Synagogue on Saturday but, because the Jews still didn’t accept Christ as the Messiah, they also had to meet on Sundays to partake in communion and also as a commemoration of the [...]
So, why did God create man (us)?
God created man to worship him and to enjoy his handiwork. Man was created in the image of God on the sixth day out of the dust of the earth. (Genesis 1:26) God breathed into our nostrils the breath of life and it is this breath of life that allows us to live each day. God [...]
Why does the church exist?
God and the Church The church is the body of believers. They are those who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.(Revelation 12:17) The church is not a club of saints but a haven for sinners. It is a place where souls can come together to get to know God and [...]
What’s the deal with the Sabbath?
God and the Sabbath The seventh-day Sabbath is a commemoration of creation. It is a time where we ought to reflect on the majesty of God and celebrate him for being God. God made the seventh-day holy because on this day he rested from all of his work. The Sabbath was created for man and [...]
Walk the Waters
I got my new kindle on Monday and immediately started downloading samples of books. One of the books I downloaded was “The Confident Woman” by Joyce Meyer. The first devotional was taken from the story of Peter and Jesus. It amazes me that out of all the disciples on the boat, Peter was the ONLY [...]
It’s not about me by Katie Bulmer
We want bigger, better, faster, and we want it NOW. It doesn’t matter who gets in the way because its all about ME. But what if it’s not? What if…are you sitting down?… the world doesn’t revolve around individuals, but around the ONE who made the world? If life were a movie, God would be [...]
Life Resolutions
It’s 2011! It felt so weird seeing 1/11/11 on my phone on Saturday at 12:00am. I couldn’t believe how quickly 2010 flew by. As I went through the various Facebook statuses put up by friends and acquaintances, I realized that the New Year usually inspires individuals to make a change. Whether it be dietary, spiritual, [...]
The truth and NOTHING but the truth
A few years ago, I remember asking God to enlarge my territory. I had just finished reading “The Prayer of Jabez” and was so inspired by his simple prayer that I prayed it myself. I remember praying and asking God to use me wherever he felt that I would be most useful to him. I [...]
Footprints in the Snow
Ready Mom? I said. I’ll be ready in a half hour. She replied. I went into my bedroom and put on layers of clothing. There was two feet of snow outside my door and with a wind chill of 9, I needed to bundle up. She had called out last night and wanted to go [...]
All I want for Christmas
One of my favorite medleys to hear to during the holiday season is “All I want for Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey. As I walk the streets of Manhattan, you can hear the bustling of shoppers coming in and out of local shops hunting for the perfect Christmas gifts. I too am one of [...]
