Consider …
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.“ (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
Have you ever given any thought to how important timing is to God? God not only has a “reason” for everything He does, but He has a “season” for everything He does. We tend to do things on the spur of the moment, but God works with design and with purpose, yet that is so hard for us to comprehend in our finite minds.

True wealth
By Julie B Cosgrove | Comments Off
“You still the hunger of those you cherish; their sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children.” Psalm 17:14
We all want the best for our kids. That’s natural. We want them to be healthy and strong, to be smart and have lots of friends. We want them to have security, to give them their heart’s desires and for them to grow up and become professionals who will make a decent living.

Bold Proclamation
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ . . .” (Galatians 6:14)
Paul was bold in his proclamation of faith, not wavering, but holding fast to that which he believed with all his heart.
Why? Because he truly embraced the cross of Christ and all it stands for—His sufferings, His death, and our salvation through a crucified Redeemer. As a matter of fact, Paul was so far from being offended or ashamed at the cross of Christ, that he desired to glory in nothing else and it was his determination to preach the cross till he drew his dying breath regardless of the cost to him personally. Paul knew that without the cross there would have been no redemption, no joy, and no hope.

A Friend Named “Suffering”
By Jan Ross | 1 Comment
“But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” (I Peter 5:10-11)
We were never promised a rose garden. Suffering is as much a part of the Christian’s life as faith; it comes in different ways and it produces fruit in our lives.

Iron and Clay
“So this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some strength of iron in it…partly iron and partly clay, so the kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle…so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united any nor than iron mixes with clay.” Daniel 2:41-43

Circumstances Lie

“Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.” (Habakkuk 3:17-18)
