Bride or Prostitute?
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
The Question that Changed My Life A number of years ago, I had the privilege of teaching at a school of ministry. My students were hungry for God, and I was constantly searching for ways to challenge them to fall more in love with Jesus and to become voices for revival in the Church. I came across a quote attributed most often to Rev. Sam Pascoe. It is a short version of the history of Christianity, and it goes like this:

Pillow Talk
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
“I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me.” (Song of Solomon 7:10)
Some of the most intimate conversations we have with our spouses occur while we lay in bed, in a darkened room, quiet, and nestled in the warmth of the covers. The children are asleep, the phone is done ringing for the day, the television is quieted, and the house is at peace.
Intimacy in today’s world is immediately equated with sex. However, true intimacy can more easily be related to communion and communication with unguarded truthfulness. More simply put, pillow talk!

What Did You Say?
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
“Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psalm 46:10)
Not long ago I heard a story about a young man and an old preacher. The young man had lost his job and didn’t know which way to turn. So he went to see the old preacher.
Pacing about the preacher’s study, the young man ranted about his problem. Finally he clenched his fist and shouted, “I’ve begged God to say something to help me. Tell me, Preacher, why doesn’t God answer?”

Today Is One of Those Days
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
“Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.” (1 Chronicles 29:11)
There are some times when our hearts just cry out, “Worship Him!” Today is one of those days.
You don’t feel like worshipping Him? Well take a minute and consider: MERCY, FORGIVENESS, SALVATION, ETERNAL LIFE, FAITHFULNESS, etc. Now, do you feel a little more like worshipping Him?
Good!

God and God Alone!
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
“For the kingdom is the Lord’s: and he is the governor among the nations.” (Psalm 22:28) God is in control in our nation, our cities, our jobs, our school systems. Although the economy is not good, our family and friends are losing their jobs, the prices are rising, we serve a God who is “governor among the nations.” No matter how things look in the natural, God is in control. He and He alone.

Fear Him in Truth
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
“Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.” (1 Samuel 12:24) The MERCY of God is one attribute that everyone finds easy to live with. If we’re honest with ourselves, we often think, “God is merciful, He’ll understand” when trying to ease our conscience when faced with a difficult decision. Even those that have not made Jesus Lord of their lives count on God’s mercy thinking that He is too “good” to allow them to be eternally separated from Him because they never made a commitment to Him.

Reflecting the Light
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
“Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.” (John 9:3) The thing we desire the most—to please our Heavenly Father, to live a life which stands out as being contrary to the ways of the world. Just as the moon has no light in and of itself, we cannot truly “shine” without reflecting the glory of the Lord in all we say and do. We have no ability to shine on our own; we only reflect the light of the Sun.
