John 7:37, 38 ¶ On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” God’s love is more than …
NERVE PILLS AND OTHER MEDS Rom. 5:1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, I was a nervous wreck as a child. Mom used to give me these prescription meds she called ‘nerve pills’. Who knows what those were! As I got into my teen years …
“the fact of two things being seen or placed close together with contrasting effect” MERRY TUESDAY BY PARRIS “He found him out in the wilderness, In an empty, windswept wasteland. He threw his arms around him, lavished attention on him, Guarding him as the apple of his eye. He was like an eagle hovering over …
John 6:5 Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?” I remember loving all the new worship music created during the outpouring in the 1990’s.

Psa. 119:91 They continue this day according to Your ordinances, For all are Your servants. To the casual observer the world is a random and scary place. Just think about it for a moment; catastrophic earthquakes, ‘thousand year storms’ almost every year, terrorist attacks, classroom shootings, cultural breakdown. You get the idea, the list is …
Jesus therefore took the loaves. John 6:11 I love the pictures painted in the gospels. What a masterpiece is painted by today’s short, simple verse; the little boy’s lunch in the hands of Jesus. This is the way Jesus works even today, we look to Him in our need and He wants to know what …
Matt. 14:19 Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes. Have you ever tried to do things on your …
Matt. 14:20 So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained. Feeding the 5000 has been part of our ministry for over 20 years. It really came in a most unexpected way. It was 1990 and our church was running on empty. We had done …
