A question that comes to mind at times, and badgers us as believers, is will God’s love for me truly endure? Will it continue even through my failings and sinful mistakes? Can my own weaknesses as a Christ-follower ever wear down His love for me? Psalm 103:17 tells us that The love (mercy) of the LORD is from everlasting to […]

MIDEAST UPDATE….6/3/2023….”Groaning”
In God, every heartache, every tear, every difficulty, and every sorry that we experience in this life will bring forth the birth of new life.

How does one face life as we find it in 2023, knowing that tomorrow’s news will likely be more troublesome than even today? There are those who live in constant fear.

One of my favorite scriptures is found in Psalm 139. Here is just a sampling of the verses: 1 O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. 2 You know when I sit or stand. When far away you know my every thought. 3 You chart the path ahead of me, and tell me where to […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…4/7/2023…”PAID IN FULL”
Before sharing a brief update, I want to wish everyone a wonderful Resurrection Day on April 9. For 2,000 years, followers of Jesus Christ have taken this weekend every year to think through the momentous events when Jesus was crucified.

MIDEAST UPDATE…2/23/2023…”Jesus Is The Resurrection And The Life”
As most know by this time, the death toll from the great February 6 quake is inching closer to 50,000 every day. The latest count I have been able to find is 47,244.
