Unashamed



February 12, 2013


" For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek..." - Romans 1:16

Dear Friend,


Last week a dear Brother in Christ went home to be with the Lord.  His warm smile and giving spirit will be missed by our congregation.  Members of the congregation who had the opportunity to serve with him in the choir can recall his unashamed dance of praise to the Lord.  Our brother would get so happy during worship service and just dance and dance.  I can recall it would make others happy.  I would shout out and hit my tambourine harder!  His praise was unashamed.

Praise that is focused and that is not self-conscious is glorious for at the center of that praise is the Lord Jesus.  It is a praise that is full of the understanding of the powerful gift of salvation that we have received through the shed blood of our Savior. 

I am encouraged as I remember my fellow Christian who truly made "His praise, the Lord's praise, glorious!"  I am certain that there were those who wondered what he was shouting about, thereby providing an opportunity for others to witness to the gospel "for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth..."


God bless!
Sis. Stephanie

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
