Harry Durgin Facebook We Underestimate God This is not a rebuke. This is a fact. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:9) We can’t even think of all God is able to do! Now to Him who is…

The Warning And Jesus said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered this fate? I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. Or do you suppose that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them…

As Christians, we have guaranteed eternal life. Christ in us, the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:27) For us, the hope of glory, and all God’s promises are sure things, “Hope” means we expectantly wait, knowing it will happen. Since we know blessings will come, this helps us now. But what about hope as we live in these dark times? What about hope in the land…

Harry Durgin Facebook I am not going to list the evils, troubles, and trials in the world, in the US, in your country, in my life. You have a list similar to mine, I’m sure. What is going on, and what should we be doing? We need to be praying fervently, of course. We also…

In our fallen world, we are surrounded by sin. While Christians are no longer slaves to sin, and we are walking, more and more, according to the Holy Spirit, we still sin.

MegRichardsPhotograpy.com Are you in some sort of bad mood? Sad? Depressed? Mad? Bitter? Here’s the remedy: Get your eyes off yourself and focus on God. (This is not saying just to “take it.” If your problem can be improved or is solvable, work on it with the Lord’s guidance.) But, often, we focus on how we feel…

As we assess the world, as we assess our own situations, we must deliberately recognize who God is, and what He plans. The entire Bible is a story of God’s redemption and sanctification of His people, and His wrath on the wicked. His plan is in progress, and we can see Him working to redeem…

MegRichardsPhotography.com I am stunned at the effort made by cross-country skiers. Many (most?) of the top finishers collapse after they pass the finish line, gasping for air, unable to stand. They gave it all. I’m stunned and I’m convicted. Do I work that hard at anything? At the 2018 Olympics, the USA ladies cross-county team…

MegRichardsPhotography.com Mission Impossible Did you ever watch that TV show, Mission Impossible? Yeah, yeah, I’m dating myself. The theme was a covert group fighting evil governments, dictators, etc., etc., etc. The recorded instructions self-destructed after playing the tape. And the covert group were told if they were captured or killed, the Secretary would deny any knowledge…

nasa.gov Believers in Christ are told about their future. In this world, we will be sanctified, becoming more and more like Christ. (1 Peter 1:2) We are blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. (Ephesians 1:3) We’ll be glorified in heaven, presented by Christ to the Father holy and blameless and beyond reproach. (Colossians 1:22)…
