Importance of Sound Doctrine
Recently we had a panel discussion at Morningside Church consisting of four pastors on the subject of “What is a healthy Church?”
My heartfelt message was about “Sound Doctrine.” 1st and 2nd Timothy, and Galatians, Chapters 1 & 2 really lay out in scripture the importance of sound doctrine:
“Sound Doctrine” is a body of principles based on absolute truth from the Word of God. Continue reading
Goin’ Up Yonder!
“Come up a little higher,” I heard the whisper. Before I could consider, yea or nay, I was being whisked away. Like Paul, I didn’t know if I was present in the body or had been given a vision. It was a time in my life that I was assuming the position as Praise and Worship Leader in my church and the Lord so graciously let me experience a little of Heaven’s worship.
“I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago — whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows — such a man was caught up to the third heaven.”
2 Corinthians 12:2-4 KJV
Resurrection Meaning
This is a special time of the year when we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Meaningful sermons and musical presentations were widespread in many churches.

Fear Vs. Faith
The Word of God is very clear in telling us that men’s hearts shall be failing them for fear in the last days. In Luke 21:26, we read:
“Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.” KJV
We have seen many earthquakes and tornadoes, and floods on the increase these last few years. Then, we have also had the increase of terrorism and crime as well. Many have been paralyzed by fear and are living in despair. Continue reading
My Hiding Place
I heard the tires scream and immediately halt, the car door slam, followed by sloppy fumbling at the front door knob. My heart rushed and my mind went wild. Instantly, I remembered a time past, when I landed in the hospital with dozens of stitches from another drunken, drug-induced rampage. For years I had coped with fear because of being repeatedly abused by this angry man who is now my ex-husband.
What will happen next? I had no choice but to cry out with every bit of strength I could muster up, “Lord Jesus, help me!” My mind raced and stopped at a page in Exodus: Continue reading
