What Kept Jesus from KNOWING the Ministers Referred to in Matthew 7:21-23?

I initially began writing this on 01/01/2024, but life happens, so I’m glad to be allowed to get back to this one today, 02/21/2024, as a reminder for  myself. Join me as I meditate upon Matthew 7:21-23 So… You know that verse in Matthew where Jesus said “Not everyone saying to me Lord, Lord will enter into the kingdom of the heavens but those who do my Father’s will.” Remember how Jesus…

Pour Me Out

This is a beautiful "Worship Spotlight" song for you to connect heart to heart with God.

When you do things, do not let selfishness or pride be your guide. Be humble and give more honor to others than to yourselves. Do not be interested only in your own life, but be interested in the lives of others. In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus. Christ himself was like God in everything. He was equal with God. But he did not think that being equal with God was something to…

Salvation and The Church: Living in Righteousness

Salvation and The Church: Living in Righteousness

Today’s message summary of June 3, 2018 from Pastor Gus Brown:

If you are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, you want to be in a teaching church.  If you are not in His Word, you won’t know how to have a good relationship with Him.  You will struggle with family and personal relationships.

If there are relationships that are not good for you, it is OK to say goodbye to them.  Where we scuffle as…

Vexation of Heart

Isaiah 65:13-14.

13 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, My servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, My servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, My servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:

14 Behold, My servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.

The result of ongoing,…

A few years ago, I noticed someone had coined the phrase, “Throw Back Thursday” aka TBT on facebook. For a long time, many of us posted a TBT almost every week.

(My first year started mid-year as a fill-in for a K5 teacher who went on maternity leave.) It was such a joy to have a “class of my own.” They were so adorable! In the afternoons, I taught typing, history, and Home Economics. Each picture brought a smile. Such cute little faces!

What truly touched my heart was when I opened the 1980 yearbook. I had forgotten that my fifth-grade-students wrote messages to me. Some made me smile, some made me cry and some of the boys apparently wanted me to get married! “All in God’s time!” I used to say.  One of my favorite paragraphs reads:

Miss Hinchee, You are a very nice teacher and I love you. But sometimes you and nice and sometimes you are mean but I like you anyway. You’re a very nice person. P.S. I am glad I was in your 5th Grade Class.

Music to my ears! There are times when a teacher must be stern in order for the children to learn and to grow.  The words are even more precious because the little girl who wrote this is with the Lord now.

You know, this reminds me of how the Lord teaches us. Sometimes we feel blessed beyond measure when He sends along good things for us but when we go through the trials, we don’t understand why He allows some things in our life but He knows. He understands. He is with us through the trials and helps us grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.

One of my typing students also signed my yearbook. He became a facebook friend a few years ago. I didn’t know that he was fighting cancer. The Lord called him home. What a joy this young man was. Serving the Lord as an adult at this same school. He is now with the Lord but I know he made an impression on many people who love the Lord because of him!

My goal in teaching was to show His love that each child would come to know the Lord as their Savior and that they would follow Him. That required me to apply II Timothy 2:15 to my life as well.   What a joy and blessing to teach each child. I am humbled as I look back at the wonderful opportunity the Lord gave to me so long ago!

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” II Timothy 2:15 (KJV)

The Servant Leader – Becoming a “Solutionary” Part 1

What is a servant’s heart? To most people, the quintessential servant’s heart is – Mother Teresa and her team of sisters in blue-piped white saris *washing the feet of the poor and sickly in Calcutta, India. An important fact is that on a train ride in 1946, she answered the “call within the call” to give up her role as Principal of Saint…

30 Days of Prayer: Pray to Have a Servant’s Heart (Day 23)

Photo from Jordan Whitt by Unsplash What does it mean to have a servant’s heart?  Does it mean to be a pushover, doormat, and weakling?  Or is there a much bigger, deeper calling bound up in the idea? Welcome to Day 23 of our 30 Days of Prayer series.  I’m thrilled you’ve made it here today. The majority of people are not naturally in love with the idea of “serving.”  Thoughts of various abuses…
