The Most Important Word

10/31/2024

If you were asked what the most important word in the world is, how would you reply? Would it be love, hope, or peace? Do a search on the topic and you’ll find a variety of answers such as the most important word is a person’s name. Another answer you might find is “thank you,” which is only one word in French.

The Bible has an eternal perspective on this topic. John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Bible passages such as  Revelation 19:13 explain the most important Word is Jesus. “His name is called the Word of God.” Acts 4:10-12 warns us there is salvation in no other name except Jesus.

Now that you know the most important Word, why not start up a conversation with someone on the topic? It might lead to an opportunity for you to share Christ and tell them how they can be saved. If the person is already a Christian, but not closely following Christ, it gives you an opportunity to share with them how life and light are found in Jesus. Let’s not keep this Word to ourselves!

Lord Jesus, WORD OF GOD, we love and praise You. Stir the embers in our hearts to be a roaring fire so we can’t help but share You with others. 

One of our key verses today is John 1:1. To watch to all of Debbie’s teaching on John 1, click HERE. To listen to her teaching, click HERE

Jesus is Coming!

10/26/2024

I love to gaze at the glory of the moon. The moon is something that exists. The moon was created by God in eternity past. The moon is set to rise in the night sky again tomorrow and in the nights ahead. It appears in different phases but it is still the same moon.

Why, then, would we doubt that Jesus is the Lord who was the self-existent creator in heaven and in our hearts, and who is to come? On December 25, we celebrate the Lord who came in the past in the appearance of a baby. But Revelation 1:4 says Christ is “He who is and who was,” He is the Lord “who is to come…” Think about it. Jesus is coming again!

Lord Jesus, WHO IS, WHO WAS, AND WHO IS TO COME, help us mindfully serve Your purposes until You return again!

Born a Warrior King

10/24/2024

As the celebration of the birth of Christ nears each year, we focus on the babe in the manger. But, that babe was born a Prince with a kingdom to defend. That babe was born with an angelic army at His beck and call. That babe was born a “Warrior” King as Isaiah 42:13 foretold, “The Lord will go forth like a warrior, He will arouse His zeal like a man of war. He will utter a shout, yes, He will raise a war cry. He will prevail against His enemies.”

The babe stormed hell and overcame death. The babe is the victor over the devil and his demonic army. Christ will one day return to earth but not as a babe. He’ll return as the Warrior King that He is. With whom will we share the good news?

Lord, we praise You, WARRIOR King from on high.

Why Bother Worshiping Our Heavenly Father?

10/16/2024

Do you ever wonder, “Why bother praising God?” If so, Isaiah 40:21-22 & 25 explain why.

“Do you not know? Have you not heard?
Has it not been declared to you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain
And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in” (vs 21-22)

“‘To whom then will you liken Me, that I would be his equal?’ says the Holy One” (vs 25).

God makes it clear that no one is equal to Him. He calls us to lift up our eyes and see the heavens He created. What does this mean for us? It means we are not alone. It means that nothing is too difficult for God. It means our Heavenly Father deserves our worship.

Lord God, we worship and praise You, eternal, UNEQUALED Creator. You are wise and powerful beyond our imagination. Thank You for caring for us, loving us, saving us, and preparing a place for us to be with you for eternity. We love You!

God demonstrated His unequaled nature in several ways in the Book of Acts, including the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the performance of miracles, the fulfillment of prophecy, and the rapid expansion of the church.

Here’s Something for Which to be Thankful

10/14/2024

It will be here before you know it. Thanksgiving will be upon us. Is your heart filled with thanksgiving? Or do you feel like a deflated balloon, that many things for which you’d hoped have fallen flat? No one will argue that life is hard. It is. Some time ago someone said to me, “The only good I have is because I’m a Christian.” What did they mean? They were saying that Christ is the “goodness” in their life. He is, in fact, what makes us good.

Hebrews 7:26 uses the word “undefiled” to describe Christ because He is more than good. Jesus is “holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.” In other words, Christ is more than a good prophet. He is the high priest of heaven who saves us not because of who we are, but because of who He is.

No matter the circumstances you are facing today, your good Savior is facing them with you. This day will pass. Christ’s goodness and presence with you will never pass. For that, you can be thankful. 

Lord Jesus, holy, UNDEFILED Savior, we love and praise You, the goodness in our life, our purity and salvation. We are grateful for and love You.

First Thessalonians 5:17-18 instructs us to pray without ceasing and to give thanks in all things. Would you like some resources to help you with these commands? Check out Debbie’s book, Pray with Purpose, Live with Passion HERE. Another great resource is the Prayers of My Heart prayer journal, which can be used to cultivate a deeper prayer life and record praise and thanksgiving to God. Purchase your copy HERE

Thank You for Your Prayers

09/04/2024

Do you feel under fire by a barrage of personal, financial, physical, spiritual, or other attacks? If so, call out to your Heavenly Father, who David describes in Psalm 3:3 as a shield about him. Put on the spiritual armor He’s given you (Ephesians 6:13). Take His Word and soak your heart and mind in it (Psalm 119:97-98, 110-111, 114). Jesus hasn’t left us alone to suffer through life’s trials by ourselves. Cover yourself with His love and truth (from Pray with Purpose, Live with Passion).

The above words are from an excerpt of my book.  Although you likely agree they are true, they are not always easy words to live by. Would you agree?

I am personally walking through a trial and would appreciate your prayers. I am having a lung biopsy this morning. We are praying that our Great Physician has gone before us and that the mass that was seen on a PET scan is not what it appears to be to the surgeon; but rather, is benign.  While no one likes the fire of trials, I can testify to the Lord’s goodness, faithfulness, peace, and that He shields us from fear and enables us to walk by faith.  We serve a good God who loves us.  Our trials are not a surprise to Jesus so I pray you run to Him, call out to Him, and are assured He loves you and is with you every step of the way; as I am assured He is with me this morning.  Thank you for joining us in our prayer for a benign result.

Lord Jesus, You are a SHIELD about us. Thank You for Your love and for always being with us.  Use us for Your glory.

The Lord is always present and wants us to talk to Him. Learn to pray more purposefully through Debbie’s book, “Pray with Purpose, Live with Passion.”

Soak Your Soul In This

08/16/2024

The news often reminds us of how dark our world is. But, be encouraged. God is the opposite. Psalm 76:4 says “God is resplendent,” which means luminous.

Where can we bask in His Light? The Bible. We can read the Psalms. We can look up at the glory of the heavens. We can meditate on God’s A-Z Attributes. Rather than drown in the hopelessness and discouragement of the world, spend time soaking in God’s Light. Bathe your soul in Him.

Lord, You are RESPLENDENT! Illumine my life with Your glory.
