Usually Duane doesn’t complain much at all… But this late winter and early, early spring he’s been highly complaining. And I told him. Selah. But here’s the thing, I make things fun! And Father, rebuke me when I need it, please! Revelation 3:19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. Yesterday I wore all mainly black (it was a heavy shirt, black jeans, and way too hot). And I told Duane,…..
Maybe some of you wonder why I post this daily on Facebook and www.joyeternalministries.com Psalm 139:13-16 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all…..

Be seriously nice! James 3:13-18 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from…..
What fools do not know… we’ve already won! 2 Corinthians 2:14-17 But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is…..
CONTRARY TO FOOLISH BELIEFS: ALL ARE NOT WELCOME… Why? Why in the world not?! And not welcomed… where? In your home, in church, in Heaven?! Could God possibly say “No!” to anyone and cast them forever into the lake of burning sulfur?! Hold on… Yes! Because those in the world are not in the kingdom… And the King of kings is not the choice of many, many people! Selah. Matthew 7:13-14 “Enter through the narrow gate. For…..
Show respect for the people who are willing to die for you! Show great respect and love for them who care about people they’ve never met, whom they may never see again; perhaps leaving their own young children without a father or mother because they are willing to die in order to save you or anyone! Selah. Show some respect! Show great respect for those who risk their lives by being targeted in simply putting on their police uniforms! Esteem…..
HE’S ALIVE! Look for other bodies popping out of their graves! Matthew 27:50-54 And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and[e]…..
“HAPPY EASTER!” “MERRY CHRISTMAS! HE HAS RISEN! DON’T FORGET THE REST OF THE STORY!” Easter has always been my favorite holiday… Sad to say, when I tell some people, they will look at quizzically and I know they are wondering (but will not speak it), “Why?” They should know, you should know, all you should. And we all should know, and not only know, but embrace these truths now: Luke 24:1-7 On the first…..
