No Pleasure in Death
For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. Ezekiel 18:32
Some may think God takes pleasure in our death. He does not. He does not take pleasure in our death. But it happens. We die. Thanks Adam. Thanks Eve. Well, I could blame them, but who is to say I wouldn’t have fallen for the same thing back then. I have done my share of falling over the years. In fact, before Christ, I planned my life around sin.
So why didn’t God just zap me out of here? I can’t answer that one, other than His mercy and grace preserved me. And it’s the same mercy and grace that preserves you.

God as Our Heavenly Father
Fatherhood is a concept under attack by the world. Yet, the father remains an important member of any family. And while the world wants to diminish the role, children from intact families, who have loving fathers, know how important their dads are to their families.

I was talking with a sister in Christ the other day and we were discussing the times. We talked about how fast we’re moving toward the end of this nation and the end of this world.
We also discussed several of the books from the Bible: Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel and some of the others that warn of Israel’s and Judah’s demise.
Our conclusion, if you know God’s Word it’s not hard to see His heavy hand working in this country and around the world.

Offense of the Gospel
He who knows God hears us, he who is of God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. John 4:6
God’s Word was meant for God’s people. It was not meant for the unbeliever. Those who are not of God, do not hear the Word. They cannot understand it, unless the Spirit quickens them so they can hear and believe.
Without the Spirit of God in a person, what someone hears or reads means nothing. All that persons hears or sees is a bunch of contradictions and foolishness. The Cross is foolishness. Without the Holy Spirit, the Gospel seems offensive to those… Continue reading
Forgetfulness Posted By : Maureen R. Danielsen
A good memory isn’t always a blessing, any more than forgetfulness has necessarily be a curse. It’s what you choose to remember, and choose to forget, that in the end will make or break your day…maybe even the rest of your life.
