(Re-posted from Comfort-Cafe.net, March 2018) Now Abram was living near the great trees of Mamre the Amorite . . . When Abram heard that his relative [Lot] had been taken captive, he called out the 318 trained men born in his household and went in pursuit as far as Dan. During the night Abram divided his men to attack them […]
(Re-posted from Comfort-Cafe.net, February 2018) . . . he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness . . . (Isaiah 61:10) Have you ever thought very much about the “robe of righteous” or the “garment of salvation”? I never did until recently. What beautiful truths came to light as I meditated […]
(Re-posted from Comfort-Cafe.net, January 2018) Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But […]
(Re-posted from Comfort-Cafe.net, April 2018) Easter has taken on new depth and meaning for me this year as my beloved father just passed away peacefully into the presence of His Savior two weeks ago. Because of the resurrection, I do not have to grieve without hope. I will see my Dad again. My heart is full with so many emotions. […]
“And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news . . . Today in the town […]
(Re-posted from Comfort-Cafe.net, August 2017) The tribes of Israel sent messengers throughout the tribe of Benjamin, saying, “What about this awful crime that was committed among you? Now turn those wicked men of Gibeah over to us so that we may put them to death and purge the evil from Israel.” But the Benjamites would not listen to their fellow […]
(Re-posted from Comfort-Cafe.net, March 2017) “…The darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.” ~ I John 2:8 With recent catastrophes, all in quick succession, do you find yourself wondering what’s next? A horrific wildfire season in the western states, hurricane winds and floods in Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico and other islands; a magnitude 7.1 earthquake in Mexico. […]
(Re-posted from Comfort-Cafe.net, November 2017) The Art of Listening According to I Corinthians 13 Love is patient (puts up with annoyances; takes time to listen). Love is kind (conveys a nonjudgmental, accepting, open attitude and attuned body language). Love does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud (is humble, validates; refrains from bragging or engaging in one-upmanship). […]
(Re-posted from Comfort-Cafe.net, September 2017) The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell (James 3:6). The Western United States is currently experiencing unprecedented wildfires and smoke pollution. We are watching […]
