Satan Loves To Bug God
December 24, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Revelation 12:9-10
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

      This season is all about love, laughter, and enjoying this festive time of year. What would this day be like if all day long someone rode in your car and said terrible, horrible things about your spouse, your children, or your best friends? What if it did not stop there, and when you got to the place you were going, they tagged right along and continued with this terrible chatter about all the faults of these people you love? On the drive home, it is more of the same. Then, while trying to relax at home, a never-ending tale of the worst possible things about your favorite people keeps coming. Imagine if you will, this went on day after day after day after day after day. Would that help to make all your season merry and your spirits bright?

      Do you know today, right now, this is what God is listening to from Satan? He listens to a constant accusation of all our many faults. Everything we do or say and any mistake we make, Satan twists and changes to make us look as bad as possible before God.

      The good news is that Jesus is our advocate with the Father. As Satan makes His accusations, Jesus, like an attorney, pleads our case. Saying, the price is paid, settled at the cross of Calvary. Their sin has been paid for with the Blood of the Lamb. Then He holds out His nail-scared hands as proof of the payment. One day, God will hear enough, and Satan will be banished forever from the ear of God. Now that will be a very merry day in heaven indeed.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

      Satan uses everything he can to accuse us. Let’s not give him any more than he already has to use against us this Christmas and New Year’s Season.

What ammunition did Satan gain last year that you will
keep him from using in the days and years to come?

Hello, God Is Calling!
December 17, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Zechariah 4:8
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

      Several times in Zechariah, we hear this priest/prophet say something like, “the Word of the LORD came unto me.” WOW. Can you even imagine? God, either by voice or by an angel’s voice, coming and speaking directly to you? How grand a day that would be. Yet, it may also be somewhat scary. You might begin to wonder what would be so important that God would want to talk with me personally. What is He going to ask me to do? God speaking directly to you would be rather miraculous and a bit overwhelming.

      We too often get the idea that when God speaks to people, it is only to scold or punish. That He only comes when things are going wrong. Therefore, we begin to think it to be a frightening experience when He speaks. However, did you ever think of this? In the Old Testament, while they had very little of the scripture put together, God often chose to communicate through angels and prophets.

      Today, just as in Zechariah’s time, God is speaking directly to you. You read that right; God is speaking right to you. He does it through the pages of His Holy Word. We now have 66 books written in the binding of the Holy Bible, which contain God-breathed Words written for you and me. The majority of it is not about scolding or punishing. Most of the Bible shares just how much God loves you and wants to help you.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    So, as you go through your day today, you might just think, as did Zechariah, “moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying…” Well, what did God speak with you about today through the pages of His Word? He is still speaking. 

Are we still listening?

Get The Recipe!
December 10, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Psalm 128:1-2
Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

     It is the Christmas season, and people are looking everywhere for recipes. One recipe that people have been looking for over the years is a recipe for success. Another thing we hear at this time of year is that we should have Peace on Earth and Goodwill toward Men. Well, folks, here in this little chapter of the Bible, we have found a recipe for success and a way to find peace in five steps.

• Step 1. Worship The Lord. The phrase “feareth the LORD” refers not to a frightened fear, but a respectful and worshipful heart. 

• Step 2. Walk In His Ways. If you truly respect who God is, it is not hard to walk in His ways and obey His guidelines in life.

• Step 3. Work. Work brings about satisfaction. It is exactly how God designed us. We want to be doing something that makes a difference. It is also a way for God to supply our needs in this life.

• Step 4. Enjoy Life, as God Created It. God never intended for us to walk around with sad faces all the time. We are to enjoy life. If we remember who God is and follow His plan for our lives, it will truly be a happier life.

• Step 5. It will bring Calm to your Soul. When we find out that God’s way is a better way than our way and His way is always right, we find life is easier and better. In addition, all these things together bring about PEACE to our hearts.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    How can we enjoy Peace and Joy in our Lives? Look to the author and finisher of our faith. It is He and he alone that is the Peace that passeth all understanding. He is the Joy that will flood your soul. He IS… Therefore, we can be.

Where do you find real joy?

I Want It Now
December 3, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Proverbs 3:29-30
Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee. Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

     Blood boils, and tempers flare when someone else gets a promotion you have waited for and believe so much you deserve. You work, you try, you plan someday to have this job, then someone else just marches in from nowhere and takes it. For some reason, we are just as mad at the person who got the promotion as we are at the one who made what we see as a bad decision to put them there. Mad because someone else got ahead before we did. It may be possible, and even probable, that the person was not trying to hurt you. They were simply trying to get ahead in life the same as you. However, this does not seem to matter now, right? You say to yourself, “I am going to be mad at this person anyway.” We get the attitude “I will just stay mad at them and that will teach them to take my job!”

     Sound silly? It is. However, it happens all the time. Getting angry with someone and not knowing why is wrong. Yet many people find themselves with pent-up anger at someone who had no control over a situation. It may also be someone they do not know. Why do people get this way? Their answer most likely will be something like, “I do not know, I just FEEL that way.” It makes a lot of sense, doesn’t it?

     The Bible tells us not to be this way toward others, nor plan to hurt someone without cause. It is not right. It is not Biblical. It is not godly. Not to mention, most other people do not like people with this type of attitude. The fact is, others look at people who act this way as small, petty, self-centered, and negative. Sadly, they find themselves alone, unpopular, and often passed up for future advancements because of their bad attitude.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    When God opens the door for another (especially a brother or a sister in the Lord), do not reject them. Instead, rejoice with them, help, and encourage them. Who knows, they might be your leader someday and be able to help promote you to where God wants you to be. Even if that never happens, you receive a blessing just by obeying God’s Word. He is your leader, and He will be promoting you someday.

If you encourage someone who has just received a promotion over you,
how do you think that makes God look through you in their eyes?

My Life Verse
November 26, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Hebrews 2:12
Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

     Years ago, my Pastor encouraged me to find a Bible verse that I might call my life verse. I thought at the time this would be almost impossible. Many verses in the Bible spoke of who I was to be and what I was to do. How could I pick just one? However, my Pastor had said this would be a good thing to do, so I set out to do as he suggested.

     I began my quest by asking God to lead me to a verse that spoke to me about my mission in life, or especially spoke to me. Then I came across this verse. This was the perfect verse for me. At the time, I knew God was calling me into the Evangelistic Ministry. To sing and preach wherever He might open a door. This verse declared what I felt I should do then, and now. I am to declare Christ’s name to anyone and everyone and sing for the glory of God.

     As I continued in the Evangelistic Ministry and then as a Pastor myself, this verse meant even more to me. I have the great privilege week after week of sharing with people I know, and who know me, the wonders of God’s Word. I am also blessed to be able to sing the praises of His name with and for the church.

     What a blessing this verse has been and will forever continue to be in my life. What a great word of advice my Pastor shared with me on that day. Might I suggest that if you have never found a life verse for yourself, one that you know God speaks to your heart about, begin that search today? I know it will influence your life. It sure has mine.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    I am not asking you to take this as your life verse. However, would you consider following its meaning on Sunday? As you gather with family and friends, would you declare His name unto your brethren and sing a song of praise to Him? As we think on Thanksgiving week, let us thank Him, most of all.

Do you have a verse you recognize as your Life Verse?
