I recently taught a Bible Study at our Church about the temple, or the Lord’s house which Solomon built in 1 & 2 Chronicles. He was determined to build it the way his father David, and ultimately the way God wanted it to be built. We should have the same desire for our houses. Oh …
Back to the Basics…Part 2: Why go to Church?
Throughout the Bible, Old Testament to New Testament, people have gathered to worship God. So in the time period we are living in now, is it still relevant for us to go to Church? Why do we attend Church in the first place? Let’s talk about it! Why go to Church? The Church and the …
He loves us anyway!
The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit. Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children’s children will I plead. …
Everybody wants to be Titus 2:4, but nobody wants to be 1 Peter 5:5
I dare say most of us are familiar with the Titus 2 passage about how the aged women are to be the example and teacher of younger women. And it is a privilege to be in the position to be that example. But in order to be a teacher of good things, you must also …
Why I chose Jesus
According to Google, there are over 4,000 different religions in the world today. You talk about options! You can choose to worship and believe in everything from yourself, to a statue, to an animal – your options are endless.

Nevertheless…
Aren’t you glad that our God is a God of “however”s, and “but”s, and “also”s? For example, look at Romans 5:7-8- “For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet …
Knocked down… but still rooted.
My friend has this oak tree on her property that fell down years ago. I noticed the other day when I drove past it, that there are dozens of new little trees sprouting up on it. (Click here to see the picture, if it hasn’t loaded automatically: http://keepersofheartandhome.com/knocked-down-but-still-rooted/ ) It was amazing to me that …
What do you do when you realize your walk doesn’t match your talk?
Well, I will tell you first what you DON’T do. You DON’T sit down and give up! This is exactly what Satan wants you to think should happen. He wants you to believe you are no good and not useful for the cause of Christ anymore. Don’t buy that pack of lies. Let’s take a …
Haven’t heard from God lately? Here are some possible reasons why…
Let me start by saying there is no “perfect Christian”. We strive to be as close to God as we can, but we all fail. We mess up. Thank God he is a forgiving, patient God. There is none righteous, no not one. No matter how ‘good’ we perceive others to be, everyone has to …
An attitude of gratitude
Have you ever been told “thank you” by someone with a frown or sour expression on their face? It just doesn’t mean the same, does it? If we are not careful, we will go to God with this same attitude. Knowing we should be grateful for all he has blessed us with, we may even …
