The Word to Wisdom

For Independence Day 2023

The Star Spangled Banner

O! say can you see by the dawn's early light,
 ⁠What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
 Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
 ⁠O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
 And the Rockets' red glare, the Bombs bursting in air,
 Gave proof through the night that our Fl...

God has a redemptive plan and is moving in the earth today.

Many people are feeling "justice sick" - meaning they see evil being done on large scale, but they see  little or no justice concerning that evil.  But God has a redemptive plan and I believe God is moving in the earth is such a powerful way that people will be healed from the lack of justice and there will be dancing and joy in the streets.

We Have Escaped

Praise for Rescue from Enemies - Psalm 124 NASB

1 “Had it not been the LORD who was on our side,”

     Let Israel now say,

2 “Had it not been the LORD who was on our side

The True Message of the Gospel

This episode is about the essence of the gospel message that Paul taught in his letter to the Romans, and in almost all of his letters.  This very gospel message was given to Paul by Jesus.  As we meet and listen to the many beautiful people that we know love Jesus, we also see a need and a hunger to have this message of the gospel made even more clear.  This gospel is the centerpiece of our ...

Let your words be few

Ecclesiastes 5:1-3 (NASB)
1 Guard your steps as you go to the house of God and draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know they are doing evil.

Loving God

John 14:15 (NASB)
If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

John 14:15 (AMP)

1 John 4:19 (NKJV)
We love Him because He first loved us.
