It Will All Pass Away

Luke 21 part 1

"It Will All Pass Away" 

And He looked up and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.

Jesus is watching the wealthy people tossing their gifts into the treasury (the treasury were thirteen collection boxes in the wall of the temple. They were shaped like trumpets that had a cone like mouth and narrowed down into the opening where the offerings for alms were dropped into) Jesus watched the men casting their gifts. Then He saw a poor widow casting in her two mites. If anyone had needed alms it would have been her. She was desperately poor. Two mites would have equaled one-eighth of a cent. But it was all she had. And Jesus said that she gave more than these rich people. They have plenty and they don’t even miss what they give. But she gave all she had. I think of this scripture often. I’ve had individuals give money to me for certain ministries that they were giving all they could afford. And that speaks to my heart so often. It’s not about the amount of money. It’s about the heart and we should never forget that.

Some of the followers began talking about how beautiful the architecture of the Temple was and all the good gifts that were offered to God. But Jesus said, the time will come when all that you see will be destroyed. Some asked Jesus: “Master, when will this happen?” Jesus told them to Be careful and not be fooled. Many people will falsely come in His Name or say they are Christ, Himself. This prophecy is two-fold regarding the destruction of Jerusalem and the rapture of the church.

But what will happen first is wars and riots, nation against nation, great earthquakes, sicknesses, and other bad things. Some places will have no food for the people to eat. Terrible things will be happening and amazing signs will come from heaven to warn the people. Expect things to get worse so you won’t be in shock. But keep your eyes on Jesus so that your heart will stay strong. It will all pass away. Share Jesus before it's too late for others.

Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!

   Scripture For The Day  December 19, 2023 Luke 19 part 1 "Hide It Under a Bushel? NO!"  And Jesus passed through Jericho. Jericho had a lot of history, even at that time. It was a major trading center and there was a wealthy tax collector named Zaccheus who lived and worked there. He heard about Jesus and decided to see for himself. But he was a short man and there were a lot of people traveling with Jesus and a huge crowd lining the street waiting to see Jesus pass by. Less than 15 miles away, Jesus had just raised Lazarus from the dead. He was a rockstar. So, Zaccheus ran up ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Jesus. As soon as Jesus got to the tree, He looked up and said “Zaccheus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.” I bet y’all are singing the song right now…I was. 😊 The crowd began to murmur. How could Jesus eat with a sinner like this dishonest tax collector? Zaccheus was so overwhelmed with the love of Jesus that he

He Restores My Soul

Scripture For The Day    November 14, 2023 "He Restores My Soul"  Psalm 23- Most of us know this beloved Psalm. The LORD is our Shepherd and we who believe are His Sheep. However in recent years, the label of ‘sheep’ has become a derogatory term. I don’t care. I am so very thankful that I am part of His flock. So, Baa Baa baby. Call me a sheep. I know that I matter to Him just as much as the other sheep in His flock. No more, no less. In His Word, His people are never described as lions. But as meek and dependent sheep that depend upon a Shepherd. I’ll take that any day. Because it’s The Truth. I learned this passage when I was a little girl. But no one took the time to teach me what it meant. So, I was always confused by the first verse” “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Why? I would ask The LORD? Why can’t I ‘want’ You? I Love You and I do ‘want’ You to be with me. It wasn’t until I was much older and studying on my own that I discovered the word ‘want” meant

Aijeleth Shahar

  Scripture For The Day  November 13 th , 2023 "Aijeleth Shahar"  Psalm 22 has David assigning this song to the director of the corporate worship stating it is to be sung or chanted by “Aijeleth Shahar” translated means by the hind of the dawn or “The Deer of The Dawn”. Made me think of how sometimes there are little songs for kids to learn and they often use the tune of “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” for them to learn them better. Psalm 22 is a cry of anguish and as per usual a song of Praise. And by the very first verse, we can read words that Jesus Christ, Himself, spoke on The Cross. Jesus often quoted scriptures.  “My God, My God, why hast Thou Forsaken Me? (why art thou so) far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?” You have no idea how deeply this verse spoke to me today. I woke up early this morning thinking of the word Forsake. So, as I type I am asking The LORD, “What are you bringing to my heart today?” to forsake means to abandon or turn against. Mak
