Galatians 6:9, “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” I had the privilege of growing up in an Independent, Fundamental, Hell Fire, King James Bible Believing, Soul winning, Separate, Old Paths Baptist Church.

Helping little girls grow to be a Lady
My thoughts have haunted me for a few days over an incident that is minor but could potentially be major. You see little girls, someday will grow into ladies. Our job is to help them become the lady God would have them be. Many times I am telling little girls to put their legs down,…

Holding to the Past

Deceit in a Relationship
Why is there strife with others? Strife is caused when there is deceit in a relationship. When you remove deceit there is peace and harmony. I came upon this in something I read from a preacher who wrote a devotion on removing deceit. His key verse was Revelation 12:9 “And the great dragon was cast…

Reacting First
My thoughts today are about my Sunday school lesson on Self Control. The fruit of the Spirit is Temperance. (Galatians 5:22-24 “22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections…
