Things I have seen When I was hungry, thirsty, a stranger, naked, sick and in prison (jail)

  When I was a little child, I attended a church for a little while. I was the sometimes hyperactive, sometimes depressed child. I was needy and whiny sometimes, I hated being told what to do. My family was poor at that time and the church members thought of me as that odd, unruly, poor …

Things I have heard, Things I have seen.

  My book is called things I have heard, but I would like to start with things I have seen so that you will know something of my life, and how I came to write. The Lord said to me "write the things you have seen and heard." Some of my writing in this book …

finding a church

The bible says to forsake not the assembling of yourselves together, church is important, as much for you as for the people in the church. We can build each other up, hold each other up, and be blessed in the process. I don’t know what will happen when the tribulation of the world gets worse, …

Fear of Not Being Ready for Jesus’ Return

I would like to share a perspective on being ready for when Jesus returns or for if we die before then. This can cause so much anxiety and stress and trying to perfect ourselves. Fear of not being ready is very stressful and this post isnt to say we dont repent or we dont strive …

Jesus changed some things that were in the old testament- Food is one of those

In the old testament law there were certain foods that God called unclean and told the children of Israel not to eat. These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,  The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the …

Christians don’t kill people

Another thing Jesus changed from the old testament is killing people. Jesus said not to. Christians don’t kill people. Lots of people say they are Christians but “Christian” is what those that really follow Jesus are called. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. Acts 11:26 Jesus never gave anyone that followed Him …

the safest place to be is in His will

When we have given our lives over to the care of God through His Son Jesus we need not fear the end times. Jesus has all power and is able to keep us through it all. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without …

reasons people reject Jesus

"Other People have said there is no God" I thought about that one a lot one time. I thought that if I believe and become a christian and there is no God then I will suffer scorn and ridicule among people, but if there is a God and I don’t believe then I will suffer …
