We Stand with God Flag www.etsy.comlisting1589111068 Since C h r i s t m a s  is right around the corner, I’m sure you’re busy shopping, decorating, and planning. Me too! But remember... C h r i s t m a s would mean nothing without The Baby born in Bethlehem .   And...speaking of Bethlehem, a group of us girls just finished studying the Book of Ruth. But why mention Ruth at C h r i s t m a s t i m e ? Well…it turns out...Ruth is set in Bethlehem . Interesting right? So, let’s see if we can find a C h r i s t m a s  connection, and conclude our series.   With famine in Bethlehem, Judah , Elimelech, Naomi, and their two sons, Mahlon and Chilion, fled to the pagan country of Moab. Tragedy struck, and Elimelech died. Chilion then wed Orpah, and Mahlon married Ruth . Soon after, both boys also died.   Naomi heard God had blessed her homeland, Bethlehem , with bread, and she decided to return. Her daughters-in-law began the journey with Naomi, but Orpah turned ba...

Orange pumpkins , yellow, green, and white gourds, speckled Indian corn, fallen leaves of every shade, and cornstalks bundled with colorful bows. And can’t you almost smell the turkey roasting, taste the sweet tartness of apple cider , and let’s not forget pumpkin pie smothered with whipped cream.   What beauty and bounty the LORD created!   He’s given us the privilege of using His handiwork to not only feed our families, but also to make our homes beautiful. Yet, some struggle in these times. Painful memories, empty pockets, and maybe, twinges of jealousy. We wonder what it would be like to live in a stunning home with ample money, enjoying lavish Thanksgiving feasts , and presents galore.   But then it’s back to reality. Although we’d love to have what they have, as Christians, we know to thank God for His provision and trust Him with our fut...

  Charlie Kirk  www.bing.com 9.11.25 Happy 32 nd earthly Birthday, Charlie, but Happy Birthday Number One in heaven.   We miss you terribly and are so thankful for the time the LORD allowed you to stay and teach us.   Charlie demonstrated how to love one another, and he spoke the Truth in love. Those of the Truth loved Charlie. But Jesus said, if the world hates us, it is because they hated Him first. [1] Truly, the world hated Charlie, but he loved them enough to speak truth in a way they could understand.   “Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, ‘If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free .’ Therefore if the Son makes you free , you shall be free indeed.” [2]   Because of Jesus Christ, God the Son, Charlie was free indeed, and that’s why he championed FREEDOM . So, no one deserved the Presidential Medal of Freedom more than Charlie.   And Eri...

  We Stand with God Flag www.etsy.comlisting1589111068 On the brink of Middle East peace, let’s consider Israel once again. Several years ago, my neighbors had two mammoth trees in their front yard that stood very close to their house. Because the trees were showing signs of age and would cause damage if they fell, my neighbors decided to cut them down. However, they left a good portion of the stumps, intending for a sculptor to carve beautiful figures.   We all know how good intentions go by the wayside, and theirs did, too. For a while, the tall stumps just stood there branchless. Then, to our surprise, we started to see sprouts coming from the tops of these “dead” stumps. The roots were still alive.   As the LORD gave Isaiah his great commission, He told him to go and tell his countrymen to see but not see, hear but not hear, make their hearts dull, ears heavy, and shut their eyes. But when Isaiah asked how long , God cloaked His answer. “Until the cities are...
