My visit with Lundstroms was a delight! Larry and Gloria Lundstrom’s vision is summed up in one word—EVANGELISM! As their driving force for over 50 years, they have preached the simple, transforming salvation message of Jesus Christ. It was a joy to spend time with them, catch up, and connect.
THANK YOU, READERS
December 17th our granddaughter, Emily, was married to Blake Thompson. What a joy it was to celebrate with them even though it was in South Dakota in winter (-54 windchill one day – uffda). We live in Arizona so our blood is thinned and it was cold! But hearts were melting with joy and gladness! I thought you might like to see my husband, John, and me with the happy bride and groom!
Now to the reason for my writing to you today. When I started this blog, I was being obedient to share the things in my heart that would encourage my readers to love God more because of the Scriptures. Since I developed my website, I have attended writer’s conferences, connected with published writers, practiced, and joined an international writing group, Word Weavers, to improve my craft of writing.
Do You Want to Deepen Your Relationship with Jesus?
With the New Year comes the opportunity to begin reading through the Bible. You may ask, “Why should I read the Bible?” First, reading shows your hunger for more of God and your desire for more of God’s presence and guidance in your life. Reading God’s Word transforms the reader as it deepens love for God, the Author.
A Song in the Night Season
When tragedy hits, the Holy Spirit brings to remembrance what we have planted deep inside. A familiar melody, a scripture, or something personal that rises up within and produces peace during a night season.
Why Did the Kingdom of Israel Split?
One of the things I love about God’s Word, the holy Scriptures, is the truth it teaches. Though years separate us from the stories of the people in its pages, human nature is the same whether in the time of Moses or in our current culture And God is the same, a gracious, loving God who wants to pour out abundant blessings on His people. Our part is to love Him, living by the agreements found in the Covenant, the sacred scriptures. When we do, God’s favor rests on our families, our land, and our government. When we don’t, evil rises.
Lingering in the Lord’s Presence Reveals God’s Power and Glory
And we gain the confidence that God wins our battles.
How Do Christians Cope with Death?
The death of a spouse, a child, or a close friend may seem more than a human heart can hold. Although we all will face death in time, how do we wrestle with it when it strikes a loved one?
My recent article is here: https://www.christianity.com/wiki/christian-life/how-should-christians-cope-with-death.html
How Do We Escape The Devil’s Traps?
https://www.christianity.com/wiki/sin/how-can-we-escape-a-trap-from-the-devil.html
Growing into spiritual maturity and taking on the nature of Jesus doesn’t ease the attraction of sin. Satan’s tempting bait often comes in subtle, unsuspecting ways that may catch us off guard. Thankfully, there are guardrails to keep us on the narrow road to heaven.
What Should We Know About Divine Healing?
Recently my third article was published with Christianity.com and I’m so pleased to be able to share it. There is much in the Scripture regarding divine healing. It is for today. Jesus hasn’t changed in HIs love or power since He ascended back to heaven. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Finding Restoration after the Storm
Damage to the depths of our being caused by a betrayal, slanderous attacks, or a broken relationship wreaks havoc emotionally and spiritually. Feelings of worthlessness, remorse and depression accompany the pain. In such times, will peace ever come?
I love the scripture that gives us insight into how God restores us through the many trials of life.
