This article first appeared in John 6 Ministries’ Newsletter, “Food For Thought”. It was in the Christmas Edition 2018. As we endeavor to prepare for Christmas, the question, “Are you ready for Christmas” is a popular one in everyone’s conversations these days. Yet, there is a question that is much more significant for us to consider, at this time of year and always. That question is, “Are you ready to meet Jesus?” Some people believe that we are living in…..
Do you feel that God has Called you to do something for Him? From the time that I accepted Jesus Christ into my life, I knew His Call to ministry on my life. That journey began many years ago. I received Jesus into my life four years before I met Bruce. For that time, I was involved with my local church, either as a student of God’s Word and His Ways, or as part of the team for various ministries……
In the October 2018 edition of “Food For Thought,” I included an article that I’d written, “Free to be You! (Part One)”. This is the second part of that article. God created each of us with purpose and potential. Jeremiah 29:11-13 says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will…..
This article first appeared in the October 2018 edition of “Food For Thought” Newsletter from John 6 Ministries Inc., Mt. Pearl, NL, CA Last month’s issue of “Food For Thought” contained an article that I wrote entitled, “The Destructive Path of Bitterness.” In that article, I addressed the issue of bitterness, and the impact that it can have on us. Satan is the deceiver of the whole world and the father of lies, and bitterness is just one of the…..
This article first appeared in the September 2018 edition of “Food For Thought” Newsletter. In the August 2018 Edition of “Food For Thought” Newsletter, I concluded the series, “How to be Victorious in a Spiritual Battle.” The emphasis of the last three articles in that series focused on anger. I shared my personal battle with anger, and some Scripture, through which, the Lord had ministered to me. As my articles about anger were about to come to an end, I…..
This article first appeared in the August 2018 edition of “Food For Thought” Newsletter. This is the final article in my current series, “How to Be Victorious in a Spiritual Battle…with Anger.” I wrote two articles on Romans 12:9-21 in June and July 2018, which focused on dealing with anger towards another person(s), according to the Scriptural approach God desires that we take. In this article, I will give some attention to Psalm 103:1-14, which says, 1 Praise the Lord, my soul; all…..
This article first appeared in the July 2018 Edition of “Food For Thought” Newsletter that is distributed by John 6 Ministries located in Mt. Pearl, NL, CA I would like to revisit Romans 12:9-21, like I did last month. It says, 9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13 Share…..
This article first appeared in the June 2018 Edition of “Food For Thought” Newsletter that is distributed by John 6 Ministries in Mt. Pearl, NL,CA This article has undoubtedly been the most difficult one to write in this current series. It’s been difficult because Romans 12:9-21 was one of the main Scriptures that the Lord used to minister to me in my own personal battle with anger. My battle lasted about four years. I wasn’t mad with just one person,…..
This article is the fourth part of the series, “How to be Victorious in a Spiritual Battle.” Today, we’ll take a look at Ephesians 4: 17-32. That portion of Scripture says… 17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to…..
In the last edition of “Food For Thought”, I wrote an article in this present series – “How to be Victorious in a Spiritual Battle”. That was the second article in the series, and was based on Ephesians 6:10-13. In this edition, I will go a little deeper into Ephesians 6:14-20, which says, 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of…..
