Bringing Heaven to Earth
Rev 21:2-7, 10-11, 22-27
During a recent church service we were singing the song “Seek Ye 1st the Kingdom of God”. The last verse is “Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God….”. The Lord began to speak to me about this scripture. The scripture is found in Mathew 4:4 and Luke 4:4 […]
“I know I’m behind my time, but I was making quite merry.” —-a quote by Bob Crachit in the 1951 movie “Scrooge”, but it’s a true statement for me. No Christmas message because I was making quite merry enjoying my family and resting –so I’m behind my time. For my Christmas message I thought I would give you a prophecy […]
My husband (and co-pastor of New Jerusalem Church) and I believe that God wants to be in constant contact with His people through His Word and with His voice. If we had not believed that God wants to have a relationship with us like He did with Adam and Eve before the fall, we would never have made it through […]
This month has been extremely busy for me. I had 3 events to oversee and implement. Two were church related, and one was a family event. It was an enormous task for me, and yes, I had help, but as far as my thinking went, I could have been overwhelmed. I was determined not to do these events as I […]
We’ve had help to misunderstand the Bible. I’ve found that it’s not that some of the Bible has been mistranslated, but that the translators left out the complete meaning of the Hebrew and Greek. This, in some cases, gave us an incomplete understanding or was misleading. I translated Is 53:3-5 from the original Hebrew. It leaves no doubt that Jesus […]
On September 10th we heard the sad news that Charlie Kirk co-founder of Turning Point America, Christian, patriot, and husband and father was assassinated during a debate meeting at a college campus in Utah. He was an amazing debater, true example of a Christian and a man devoted to his family. He did more in his 31 yrs for this […]
“I am reminding you that you have entered into a time of judgement for this nation and around the world where the wicked will fall and the righteous will be uplifted. Do not fret or be afraid. I have you in the palm of my hand, and where all seems lost, know I’m working to restore.” “The Church has yet […]
For many years the definition of “grace” seemed obscure to me. Many in the Church believe it is God’s unmerited favor. This definition did not satisfy me because of this scripture: Colossians 1:12Amplified Bible, Classic Edition 12 Giving thanks to the Father, Who has qualified and made us fit to share the [a]portion which is the inheritance of the saints (God’s holy people) in […]
Pres Reagan said, “All of us, as Americans, are joined in a common enterprise to write the story of freedom–the greatest adventure mankind has ever known, and one we must pass on to our children and our children’s children–remembering that freedom is never more than one generation from extinction.” As we celebrate Independence today we must remember as Americans how […]
A few years back we were given a 2 year old yellow lab. She was a friendly dog, but distant. As the years went by I noticed she would make sure she kept me in her sight and would move room to room as I did. One day while I was getting ready for the day, she came upstairs and […]
