Why Won’t God

May 22, 2023May 17, 2023 Ellen Lebsock

Do Something? One of the most prevalent questions among believers and non-believers revolves around suffering in the earth, and personal suffering. It seems that if there is a God, and if He is good, there should be no suffering. He should “do something”. Because most Christians lack understanding in this area, they have no answers… Continue reading Why Won’t God

daily devotions, effective prayer

all the time

May 19, 2023May 18, 2023 Ellen Lebsock

And God knows that I pray for you continually and at all times. For I serve and worship him with my spirit in the gospel of his Son.

walk by the Spirit

May 18, 2023May 18, 2023 Ellen Lebsock

The Spirit however, produces in human life fruits such as these: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, fidelity, tolerance and self-control—and no law exists against any of them.

Jesus said, "do not worry." But, It appears each of us will receive the Lord's words a bit differently. His disciples did. Dr. Luke heard a slightly different message than Levi, the tax collector. That's the wonderful thing about God's Word - it meets each of us exactly at the point of our need.

Every morning tell him, 'Thank you for your kindness,' and every evening rejoice in all his faithfulness." Psalm 92:1-2 LB Thank you Lord, for your kindness.

more love = less fear

September 29, 2022 Ellen Lebsock

Without God, people do not change!  They try to change. And for brief periods they may succeed in maintaining the appearance of change, but eventually, unless God intervenes, people return to serve the master of their choices. Fear continues to reign in their lives.

daily devotions

all is all

September 27, 2022 Ellen Lebsock

If we choose to believe that every resource of heaven is available to us by His grace, there will never be a need to shrink from victory in any circumstance. Put Jesus in the Center "All things were created through Him and for Him." _Colossians 1:16
