Jennifer DeMeo called the office asking to speak with me. She explained that the words I spoke to her came to pass and she wanted to share her joy and her thanks to the Lord. I first met Jennifer when Bobbye and I spoke at local church’s Wednesday night study. Her story was heart wrenching …

Spiritual Warfare Study
During this spiritual warfare study, we have heard many women ask, “Can Satan read your mind? Does Satan put thoughts in your head? Should I pray out loud?” The Bible does not clearly address all that Satan can and cannot do to instruct us specifically on these questions. However, we do know that Satan is …
Washing Machine Woes
My washer broke today. Personally, I think it has been having trouble for a while but I actually took extra notice because only my clothes were in the wash.

Hearing the Lord
Last night at the Ephesians study, I shared a situation in my house. I was trying to think of a way to address the same issue with the same child in my house. It was obvious that this teenager was not understanding what I was saying as the same occurrence was happening over and over. …
Easter
We have just taught Ephesians chapter 3 on the mystery of Christ. Paul explains that the message of Christ was hidden from ages to ages. But the apostle Paul also said that the holy apostles and prophets dropped hints that the Gentiles (anyone not Jewish) would receive salvation through the coming of Christ. Probably because …
