BEFORE FELLOWSHIP! FELLOWSHIP is a word not often heard. This term is used well in the Church… It reflects the meaning of closeness, true love, intimacy. Children of God (both spiritual Israel and those belonging to the Church) enjoy the closeness, the fellowship, they have with God and each other… Fellowship truly is a very spiritual word: and those who fellowship in Christ worship Him in Spirit and in truth. Be warned: even in the church building…..
The Free Incarcerated Man is a book of hope intended for all. It brings a unique slant on attaining stability in one’s lifestyle… Upon the first summation The Free Incarcerated Man may appear to be only applicable to those incarcerated; and not just those incarcerated, but the male populous only. Even a review of this study book deemed it for incarcerated men only… And not just incarcerated men, but Christian incarcerated men only. This is factually incorrect. That is why…..
Some of God’s favorite words from us: “It’s my own fault!” Hebrews 9:16-22 In the case of a will, it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living. This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood. When Moses had proclaimed every command of the law to all…..
When I am alone… I’m still in the best of company! God is with me! Romans 8:35-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am…..
I’m going to have ice cream with Jesus! (And: it will never drip!) 1 Corinthians 10:31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
YOU DO NOT MISS GETTING TOGETHER WITH? Do you actually prefer not to see them at all? Do you pray for them to become a loving, nice person, a child of God?! Do you deeply desire a lasting and/or restored godly relationship with them? Is it obvious to you that by their words and/or actions they pay no reverence to God, no awe; dislike (or even hate) you? Would you make yourself a liar and produce crocodile tears if…..
PLEASE STAY WITH ME IN THIS CRUCIAL TEACHING: it is a Joy Story! SUICIDE IS A VERY HORRIFIC THING… it is never the answer. Years ago I have had the privilege of counseling two men separately on this always relevant subject. Thank God both of these men, both past their thirty’s, listened to my wise counsel. All glory to God! I am thankful they listened to me because I love the Lord and listen to Him,…..
I PRAYED YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN READY! Have multitudes of people all over the Earth simply vanished?! BUT YOU HAVE NOT: You need to be informed. It wasn’t alien abductions. It wasn’t radiation poisoning. Jesus came down from Heaven to meet His Christians in the air and take them up to Heaven – believe – or not. Do not grieve like the rest those who seem to have no hope. We Christians are forever with Jesus and His Father…..
MEN: You will love this! Now, I have offered before to bring down or take up our trash barrels… Duane will always, “That’s okay. I can do it.” I am telling you: that man is more than good to me, much, much more! (Married in September 1979!) This morning I was praying and preparing… I got in my soul that I was going to take down both barrels. And I did! How nice it was to surprise him! I had decided not…..
It is 9:50 AM, Thursday, January 19th. We’re having a lot of new, fresh snow and it’s still falling… Duane just left for the dentist. As I kissed him goodbye I said: “Have fun!” I, Ann Marie Turner, say that a lot! Remember: the joy of the Lord is my strength and should be yours too! Duane said: “Have fun? I’m going to the dentist!” We love our dentist! I reminded him he’d be talking about hunting! 2…..
