Cows

-


This morning, as is my usual habit, I was sitting on the deck having my devotion time. Adjacent to the parsonage property is a large pasture; home to several cows. 

One of the mother cows was calling for her baby, loudly yet calmly. The baby, in some distress, was calling back to her. This went on for several minutes. Eventually, mama and baby were reunited and the bellowing stopped.

So it is with us and Jesus. When we wander away from Him we become distressed. However, when we call out to Him, He will always answer and He will always find us.

How much easier life would be if we just didn't wander away to begin with. But like that little calf, we seem to think that there's something better on the other side of the pasture. Thank God, in His great mercy and love, He always makes the extra effort to come after us.

Be blessed!

Pastor Jennifer

The Lion is About to Roar!

What Then Shall We Say to These Things? THE LION OF JUDAH IS ABOUT TO ROAR! Many people are asking what the events in the Middle East have to do with 1) born-again believers, as well as the unsaved, and 2) the U.S. Genesis 12:1-3 "...I will bless those who bless Israel...and curse those who curse Israel." The ONLY reason the U.S., as a nation, is still being blessed of God, despite that she has turned her back on God, is because we are still an ally of Israel. The day we turn against Israel is the day America will utterly fall! And, make no mistake, that day IS coming! The events in the Middle East, while troubling, should excite every born-again believer and awaken everyone who has not surrender their heart and life to Jesus Christ. These events are a huge part of God's prophetic time-line. The only event left on the time-line is The Rapture of The Church! Someone asked me why these terrible things had to occur. The answer to that question can be found in the b...

Halloween Part 3

If you have not read Parts 1 and 2 please stop, scroll down and read them, in order, before reading this. ********** There is no such thing as benevolent evil. Now, before you become defensive and say "it's just pretend; it's cute; it's just for fun...say these things to yourself. Say them out loud. Maybe even look at yourself in a mirror while you say them. First say the "A" (what the world says it is) then replace it with the "B" (the true origin of the tradition or icon). Ready? O.k. Here we go. A. I think the little witch on my door is cute. B. I think the image of a satan worshipper who has the power to conjure up the dead, cast spells and place curses on people, animals, abodes and objects is cute. A. Isn't the black cat my child colored just precious? B. Isn't the image of a companion to witches, thought to be able to carry curses, just precious? A. The bats and spiders I decorated with are so cute. B. The companions of witch...

Halloween Part 1

I don't mind telling you that I have lost friends, and even church members, due to my stand on this topic. It is not my desire to offend anyone. However, I will not stand before people. I will stand before God. I would rather offend people than grieve the Holy Spirit and risk my own soul, as well as the souls of those under my influence, out of fear of speaking the truth. With halloween approaching, I feel compelled of the Holy Spirit to address the question I am asked, and sometimes challenged with, every year. Why do I firmly believe, and teach, that The Church and born-again believers should have NOTHING to do with halloween? And anything that even hints at the occult? As a child, my family along with the churches we attended, thought nothing of participating. Churches set up haunted houses, we dressed up as ghosts and witches, etc. and were "all in". I remember, like it was yesterday, when my eyes were opened. I was a freshman at Bible college. My friend and I ...
