Post 9/11, we as a nation have a greater sense of the need to be on the alert.  Home alarms, car alarms, business alarms and other such security devices are a part of the world in which we live in. With all the talk about national security it seems that life all round us is… Continue reading Message for April 18, 2010

If one wants to please God he must have faith.  “But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” (Heb 11:6)   None of us would be pleased if our friends constantly made… Continue reading NUGGETS FOR LIFE by Barbra Burton

Continued from last week article: In order for our bodies to maintain all of its systems, the hypothalamus gland in the brain works to regulate factors so that we remain at a stat of homeostasis.

Acts 1:3 “..to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.” After Jesus’ resurrection the angel announced that he was risen from the dead.  He appeared to the two disciples on the… Continue reading Message for April 11, 2010

The future of the Church is not determined by its members.  The end of the Church is in God’s hands.  The Church of God will prevail over all in the end.  Jesus did all that was necessary to make sure of that.  His death and resurrection is the Church’s victory.  Of His Kingdom there is no… Continue reading Message for April 4, 2010

When I gave my testimony last Saturday at the AEGA conference I ran out of time before I got to share about how fear affects the body. “Even relatively short periods of stress may cause changes that leave brain cells hypertensive for weeks, reports Israeli scientist trying to uncover the molecular root of post-traumatic stress… Continue reading NUGGETS FOR LIFE by Barbra Burton

“Go into all the world and preach the Gospel…” Jesus left this command with His disciples in Matthew 28.  They began to carry it out after the day of Pentecost when they were filled with the Holy Spirit.  For 2000 years that assignment has not changed.  The cast is different but the purpose is still… Continue reading Message for March 28, 2010

I believe that if you ask most people if they worry, they will answer with a yes. Most have perfected the art of worry with a life time of practice. With all of the worry nothing real value has been obtained. Worry will never change any outcome or solve any problem or cause a miracle… Continue reading NUGGETS FOR LIFE by Barbra Burton

When dealing with fear we have weapons at our disposal. The first and most important weapon in dealing with fear is to praise God. Put on praise music. Sing to Him. Thank God for everything He has done in your life.  If fear is still tap dancing in your mind than do it again. Our… Continue reading NUGGETS FOR LIFE by Barbra Burton

“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.”  Eccl. 3:1 What is the purpose?  What is my purpose?  Is there a purpose for everything?  When I ask these questions, I am not referring to the things that happen.  I am talking about the things that are. Everything God created has… Continue reading Message for March 21, 2010

“Therefore, we do not lose heart.  Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.”  I Cor. 4:16 Does it seem like most people are more concerned with the outward man than with the inward man?  However, the “outward man” is the body that holds us as… Continue reading Message for March 14, 2010

“The Lord will open to you His good treasure…to bless all the work of your hand…” Deut. 28:12 There is no question that God has promised to bless those who will trust in Him.  But, it is plain throughout Scripture that God has expectations of us.  We are admonished to do something that God can… Continue reading Message for March 7, 2010

“When the Son of Man comes will He find faith on the earth?”  Jesus had a reason for everything He said and did.  To ask this question must have been an indication of how He knew things would get before His return. There is a spirit at work in the world.  John calls it the Spirit of… Continue reading “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith?”

We have radio, newspapers, television, satellite, cable, internet, DVDs, MP3s, cell phones thatt do everything, just to mention the most well known. Everyone has a version of the “truth” of reality and an agenda they wish to… Continue reading What are you watching?
