Follow And Trust Your Heart? by Cindy Beall

Follow And Trust Your Heart?

Um, I don't think so.

Pretty sure that is not what the Bible instructs us to do. Why?

Because our heart can really jack with stuff.

It can lead us into situations simply because it feels right especially when an old boyfriend enters the picture. It can cause us to make decisions that are not thought through completely when those new pair of boots are screamin', just screamin' at us.

Our heart can be dangerous which is why you'll find this verse in Proverbs 4:23:… Continue

How Are You REALLY Doing? | & Prayer Warrior Call Out

How are you doing, Inkwellers? And maybe more importantly, how do you want to be doing?

Mark 9:12-13
On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

On the ink well, we always want you to come higher but we are not scared to kneel down in the dirt with you during difficult seasons. That's a good place to start because we don't come to… Continue

Do You Understand Your Season of Change?

The caterpillar knows his assignment; he understands and recognizes his season of change. He does not fear or fight against it but willingly positions himself to embrace and endure the severe process of metamorphosis.

He does not despise his beginnings because he understands that the matrix of his world as a caterpillar is only a temporary form that carries his future. The ‘caterpillar’ is the larval stage of what he’s been created to be, a butterfly. He knows that beneath his uncomely exterior… Continue

Sharing A Thought: "What Will People Say?"

" What Will People Say?"

We sometimes see ourselves living in the shadows of what others think of us and our actions at times. But what we seem to forget here ,is that God is in control of what we do, and when we do things. We have only Him to recon with when we fall short of His expectations and not others or ourselves!
So what is all the fuss about?

Yes, we do have to show respect for others feelings, and consider them at times before we do things that are life changing.
There are som… Continue

IT'S GOD'S CALLING, NOT YOURS.

Every week I get mail, saying “Pastor you are doing wonderful work, I wish I could do something like that”

My friends we all need to listen to God for our calling, we also need to be doers and not just talkers.

There are many Christian talkers: They say they are going to do this and that but end up doing nothing.
The Harvest is plentiful, but the labours are few.

We MUST remember we are parts of a body, and God fits you into this body as a part as He wants you to be if you let Him.

He… Continue

DO YOU KNOW UNITY?

In 2007 I had the opportunity to speak before a church and I was given the topic of UNITY. Below you will read my mini sermon and as I read this sermon I know that the Holy Spirit put these words in my mind to write and speak before his people. Although it has been two years since I wrote/preached this word, I realize how powerful it is because God's Word never dies but gets stronger. Please read this I look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Never Too Old

In my last blog I wrote about Sarah, Abraham's wife, who had a baby when she was ninety years old. It is a fascinating story, not just because it defies scientific logic, but because it shows the power of God to do the impossible. As He said in Genesis 18: 14, "Is anything too hard for the Lord?"

Many elderly people resign themselves to a life of uselessness, thinking that no one needs their services, their talents or their time. But that is not always true. Older people have a wealth of knowle… Continue
