Daily Scripture and Thoughts


The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? “I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.” (Jeremiah 17:9, 10 ESV)


Dear Ones

As we walk this is one aspect that we tend forget - we forget how deceitful our hearts are. So many times I hear from other believers that they feel in their heart The Lord leading them in a direction and that direction contradicts the Word of God. The Word never ever condones sin and anything that our "heart" leads us to do will most likely lead us to sin. 

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart. (Proverbs 21:2 ESV)


Remember we can make excuses for our sinful state- sex out marriage is immorality- we condone it with "oh we plan on marrying anyway. "  or " we are engaged". Speaking ill of someone -- " well they offended me or hurt my feelings"  Lying, manipulating or using others for selfish gain- more money in your pocket. 

All these things we can make excuses for but they are sin. As we stand before a mighty God who sees straight through your facade and straight to who you really are, in that day you will have no more excuses. You will not be able to change or redeem yourself- now is your time to make it right.

Now is your time to change your heart and lean not on your own understanding and seek Christ in all things.


Jesus help us as we truly are a lost generation in need of a Savior. We live lives continually justifying sin. We defile you and your Name by even stating we are believers in you and are Christians which mean "Christ- like"  by continuing in sin even though we know we should not. The enemy continues to control our hearts and actions. Lord have your way with us! And help us to see ourselves as you see us! 

In Jesus Name Amen

BFS #124 - The Easy Button

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Goodbye Facebook...Hello thoughts...

Well I did... I took the plunge and deactivated my facebook. It is amazing how much of a time consumer it is. It eats time like you would not believe. I am hoping, praying with this new found time, and lack of distraction that it will give me motivation to blog more. As my young men get older, move closer and closer in considering that step towards becoming one with someone.. I have come to realize there are so many resources out there pointed at men and what they need to do, or what they need to be as men to get married. The sad thing is there is hardly anything for young women. Today I challenge Paul to look at a questionaire done by Stacey and James McDonald( you can find it on Staceys  blog thesacredcalling.com)  that they put together for young suitors for their daughters. After reading it he came down so heavy hearted. Guess the realization of the spiritual, emotional and physical responsibilities of it all became very burdensome. Of course I shared how we could do noth...

Saying "I love you"...

Thinking about these words. These words that are to express our deepest emotions. These words that are to leave us vunerable and open, just do not seem to have the impact they use to. Many people use these words so fleeting. They use them as if to say "thank you", or "I thought about you today". For me "I love you" is not an easy thing to say. If I say I love you- I mean it from way down deep in my heart. They are not just words to be said but also words, that are to be put into action. Have you ever thought about that? When someone says "I love you", do they show through their actions that they love you?  or do they leave you going Huh, really? I have had those thoughts, wondering if the person who has declared their love really does love me because actions speak louder than words to me. I hear their words but then on the other hand see their actions and  they do not act like a person who even cares about my well being. Jesus never states in the...
