New Venture

Several years ago I did a newsletter for our local congregation's ladies. Many things have changed since then, hence this blog.  I wanted to connect once more with my sisters-in-Christ and others. Share thoughts, ideas, provide some encouragement and maybe edify a few.  Of course, when you start something like this, you end up getting more out of it than the people who read it, and right now I really need this! 

Our world is not the world my generation remembers.  Christianity is being challenged on all sides in all parts of the world.  Our youth are being drawn away from Christ by the allure of all kinds of immorality in numbers never before seen in modern history. They are enticed into lifestyles that are contrary to God's will and will cause them to lose their souls. (Gal 5:19-21) It's so discouraging to see this and sometimes my faith waivers. How can we combat this trend and help to guide the next generation back to God and His word?  It's not easy. It never has been. But if we stand on the Word of God, be bold in our declaration of that word and, most importantly, be the examples we ourselves need to be, then maybe, just maybe, we can bring a few back to the Lord before it's too late.

My prayer is that this blog will lift you up when you hit those discouraging times by giving you simple lessons from the Bible. I know I feel very disheartened at times as I see the path many have taken today and I need to stop and bow my head in prayer for encouragement and then turn to the Bible to find strength to go on.  So I hope this blog will be a help to you.  My one request is that once you read my blog, take out your Bible and study to see if what I say is in accordance to God's Word.  Never take my word for something, let the Word be your guide. 

I look forward to once again conversing with my sisters. 

Brothers and sisters, I encourage you through our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love that the Spirit creates, to join me in my struggle. - Romans 15:30

Thank you for reading....God Bless
