WORD 4 TODAY - “True Friendship”

Would you rather have hundreds of “friends” who know you, but don’t really know you who call you a friend, but only when it’s convenient?  Or, would you rather have one true friend who always sticks by your side? The writer of Proverbs, typically attributed to King Solomon, said this: “There are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.”    Proverbs 18:24   Some friends come into our lives because of proximity: you work at the same business, your kids go to the same school, or you frequent the same places.  But just because you know someone’s name and follow each other on social media, doesn’t mean you’re true friends. When it comes to genuine friendship, quality over quantity is key. Even the truest of friends will occasionally let you down, because no one is perfect, except Jesus. He is the truest friend of all.  Learning from Jesus’ example, there are certain characteristics that describe a true an...

WORD 4 TODAY - Roman’s 13:9-10

Wow, take time to process this scripture about LOVE. Allow the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart. Oftentimes, we need to check ourselves. “The rules in God's Law say this: ‘Do not have sex with anyone who is not your own wife or your own husband.  Do not kill anyone.  Do not rob anyone.  Do not want things that belong to other people.’  All these rules, and all the other rules in God's Law, are all included in one rule!  That one rule is: ‘Love other people as much as you love yourself.’  If you love other people, you will never do anything bad to them.  So anyone who loves other people has obeyed God's Law completely”

Psalm 18:25-27

              WORD 4 TODAY  The old time preacher and author Spurgeon said; "Be resolved in the power of the Holy Spirit that this particular sin shall be overcome.  There is nothing like hanging it up by the neck, that very sin, I mean. Do not fire at sin indiscriminately; but, if thou hast one sin that is more to thee than another, drag it out from the crowd, and say, ‘Thou must die if no other does.  I will hang thee up in the face of the sun.’” (Spurgeon)

Letter To My Loved Ones

Joshua 24:15          My loved ones, “If you think it is wrong to serve the Lord, choose today whom you will serve.  Choose the gods your fathers worshiped on the other side of the river …  or choose the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living.  But as for me and my family, we will serve  the Lord.” If you don't know Jesus, please do not put it off. Remember that tomorrow is not promised to you. In Jesus' Name I pray for your salvation.

CAN A DEATH OF A LOVED ONE CAUSE “SHOCK” TO THE BODY, MIND AND SOUL?

Yes, the death of a loved one can absolutely cause the body to go into a state of physical shock, triggering the " fight-or-flight " response with symptoms like a racing heart, fatigue, numbness, difficulty breathing, or feeling detached, as the brain releases stress hormones in response to intense emotional trauma and loss of social connection. This acute stress response is a common initial phase of grief, leading to various physical symptoms as the body copes with profound emotional pain and disruption.  How the Body Reacts to Grief Shock Hormonal Surge: The loss triggers a release of stress hormones (like cortisol and adrenaline) that flood the bloodstream, preparing the body for danger, even though the threat is emotional. Fight-or-Flight Activation: This causes physical reactions such as: Increased heart rate and blood flow. Muscle tension. Shortness of breath or chest pain. Dry mouth and dehydration. Digestive issues (nausea, stomach pain). Sensory & Mental Overload...
