Remember Lot’s Wife?

May 18th, 2013 | 3 Comments

          These are uncertain times my friends. But we serve a certain God who never changes. The older I get the more I like that about our Father. Jehovah never changes. He cares for you. He is working for your benefit while you sleep at night. Trust in Him! Though your job is unstable or even non-existent, just remember one thing; He has never forsaken the righteous or left their children begging for bread. Today, I want to look at some passages on what God says about turning back. There are many people in my life who, at one time in the past, were on fire for God. Many have lost the vision and path that God had shown them. That is what the message is about today. Turn to Genesis Chapter … Read entire article »

Changing the Pond

          This week I want to look at perspectives. Life is full of different perspectives. Each of us has a series of life experiences that cause us to look through shaded glasses. Our perspectives are somewhat colored according to what we see, hear and feel in life. We have all had tragedies that have occurred and that may cause us to be cautious in certain areas. For instance, if you’ve ever had an automobile accident that caused you to be injured you may have an extra caution about driving. If someone in your family died of a heart attack you will be more cautious about your diet or exercise. On the other side, we have good … Read entire article »

Rocks

This week I am looking at stones. Have you ever thought much about them? We have pretty good soil that doesn’t have many rocks in it but we do have an outcropping of rocks in sporadic places. Just a few feet up the hill there is a pile of rocks where someone in the past marked a grave. These are neatly arranged to show the place where three people were laid to rest. I am always amazed at the talent it takes to build with stones. At our last home Angie built a retaining wall around a flower bed using random rocks she collected. It was beautiful work and I admired her talent. I guess I … Read entire article »

One Last Look

I’ve been thinking a lot about life this week. With the tragedies that happened in Boston, Waco and southwest China it makes a person think about their own lives. We’ve all been given a limited number of days to spend on this planet; some have only a few days while some have many years. I’ve noticed that it doesn’t matter if someone lives to be a hundred they still seem to leave too soon.  Each of us will get to the end of our lives one day when we probably don’t want to. Today I want to look at that time. I was reading in Deuteronomy chapter thirty-four a few weeks back about the end of … Read entire article »

A Clean Crib

It’s always very fulfilling to get things done that have weighed heavily on my mind. Living on a farm there are always things to repair, systems to improve and things we want to do to make our farm more functional and productive. We’ve been here for six years on this property. When we arrived there was no fencing, barn, or garden. Since we brought livestock with us we hurriedly began to put up the first wing of the barn to house the chicken and turkeys. The following year we built the other side and on the third year we added the hay loft in the middle. Through time we’ve improved the barn with stalls, gates, … Read entire article »

Savior

            Welcome to the message from Shepherd’s Hill. I would like to wish you all a happy Resurrection Sunday. This day is the pinnacle in the year for Christians. Many people go to churches on this day and forget about God the rest of the year. A man once said that he overheard someone leaving church after a Resurrection Sunday service. The man told his wife that he was going to stop coming to church because they always sang the same two songs-“He Arose” and Silent Night”! Truthfully though many people seem to believe that going to church on two days a year make for a good relationship with God. The same logic would suggest … Read entire article »

Playing to Not Lose Instead of Playing to Win

A few mornings ago I was listening to the radio on the way to work. I was trying to find someone giving the news. One station had a news broadcast so I stopped there. Unfortunately, it was just finishing up the five minutes worth and it quickly jumped into the sports. Now, I have never been a sports fan of any kind. I have tried to understand every kind of team sport there is to no avail. I suppose it’s my non-competitive nature. I was just about to turn the radio off when the sportscaster made a statement that caught my attention. He was talking about a team that was struggling to win a game. … Read entire article »

Little Things

With the warm weather we had this past week my mind is on gardening. I’ve mentioned quite a bit how that we have learned through our agrarian life. There is so much in scripture that is expressed through farming and living with the land. The first thing that comes to mind is the seed. If you’ve ever planted a seed of any kind you have witnessed a true miracle of God. When you hold a seed in your hand it feels dry and lifeless. You can hold a handful and they still feel dead! But if you’ll plant them in warm soil and give them a little water they will all spring to life. Jesus … Read entire article »

Connect The Dots!

          It’s frustrating to be misunderstood, isn’t it? If you have something that you truly want to get across to someone and you explain it in the best way possible, it’s frustrating when the information is taken wrong or ignored. I suppose that the very worse cases are where some information is given to someone that is of an important, life-changing topic. I sit through regular safety-meetings where I work and we still have accidents. The accidents that people have are almost always preventable if the safety information that was given in the prior meetings had been used. I tried to figure out why some people just don’t pay attention. The information is clear but the … Read entire article »
