As I sit at my computer and reminisce about Tuesday evening’s victory, I stop and praise God for His faithfulness.

Like many others, I watched and prayed until the wee hours to witness one of the most historical events in history: President Donald J. Trump’s election as the 47th president of the U.S.A.

When morning came, Penny and I were unsure how we would share about this glorious evening on our podcast, knowing that not everyone was sharing our excitement. and rejoicing.

As you listen to our show (the link is below), may the Holy Spirit speak to you as He spoke to Penny and me today

Thanks for tuning in, and May God continue to BLESS America!

In Him,

The Weapon of Worship

Worship is not just a practice; it’s a powerful weapon. When we engage in worship, we are not just singing or praying. We are actively closing ourselves off to the distractions of this world and focusing solely on God. We let go of the burdens around us and draw near to Him. As James 4:8 reminds us, “Come near to God, and he will come near to you.” This is not just a promise; it’s a demonstration of the power of worship.

“Come near to God, and he will come near to you.“

Jesus prepared for His warfare with the devil through prayer and fasting. When it came time for Him to engage the enemy on the battlefield, He chose the most effective weapon: The Sacred Scripture, the powerful Word of God.

Satan himself tried to wield that weapon, but it didn’t work, and Jesus skillfully won the assault, turning the blade back upon him.

My granddaughter Giuliana said to her brother, “Grandpa Jon is
sleeping. Don’t wake him; just let him sleep.”

Those tender words meant nothing to my grandson Vincenzo. Without hesitation, he
quietly went over to his Grandpa Jon, cuddled himself over his shoulder, and whispered, “Wake
up.” Although I cringed just a bit, I knew that Vincenzo knew his grandpa. He knew the bond
of love between them would only be a surprise of joy when he opened his eyes.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

Did you know this is the number one scripture searched for online? In addition, when pastors talk about salvation and explain the Gospel message, this is the scripture often quoted.

Have you heard about the revival? Everywhere you look, there’s a meme, a post, or a video about it. You can search for it on Tick-tock, Twitter, or Facebook. And can you believe it’s even reached the local news; The Asbury Revival.

What’s Love Got To Do With It

Songs are sung about it. Movies are written about it. And once a year, we even set aside a day to celebrate it.

But the real question is, “What’s love got to do with it? What does love have to do with a relationship, and… what is a relationship without it?

If we look to Merriam-Webster, we can see what he has to say: Love is a strong affection for another. Yes. That does begin to describe love, doesn’t it? But, as he goes on, he has a few other things to say that seemed to steer me in the direction of where I wanted to go — a devotion, or admiration, unselfish loyal, and benevolent concern for the good of another.

When I hear devotion, unselfish, and concern for another, the verse from 1 Corinthians 13 comes to mind~

Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hope, always perseveres. 1 Cor: 4-7

There it is. Love straight from the Word of God. How far I’ve fallen from being able to love as the Bible tells us to love. What about you? Where are you in this whole gamete of the word love?

Well, if you’re like me, and all of these attributes seem impossible to fulfill, I have good news for you. There is someone who can love like no other. Especially the verse that says,

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love 1 Cor 13:13

Our Heavenly Father. His name is love. Although we try in every way to be perfect and to display love to others as he does, we can only do it if we allow His love to flow in and through us.

So back to our question, what does love have to do with it, actually everything. You see, when we look at the whole picture, we can see because God is love and that without Him, we have nothing.

So where are you today? How do you see love and what does it mean to you? Why not share with others and let us know what love has to do with it for you! Just hit the like button, and you’ll able to leave a comment for others to see.

Unpacking Psalm 91

Do you know what the most looked-up Psalm is? If you say Psalm 23, you’re close. That was my answer. Psalm 23 is second, but Psalm 91 is the most looked up Psalm of all the Psalms.

Could it be because of the last two years and everything our world has walked through? Maybe and possibly, many have prayed for protection over their homes, loved ones, and friends.
