HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY! Though not in a physical prison this Easter, you may be able to identify with how God dealt with the void in my heart before I received Christ in May 1975. It was a time of repentance [a change of mind], primarily due to guilt and shame, even torment from past sins. I was like so many other prisoners under conviction.
". . . they are without excuse, because, although they knew God [through creation, nature and the universe], they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened" (Romans 1:20d-21, NKJV).

Happy Springtime! My prayer is for people to realize God's plan and purpose for Israel. He blessed the children of Israel, promised them the land and provided righteousness through faith in His blood covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob [Genesis, chapters 12, 15 and 17; renamed "Israel," meaning "he will rule as God," 32:28]. The covenant was fulfilled by their Seed, Jesus Christ, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, chapter 49:8-12; Matthew 1:1-17. The apostle Paul writes:
Happy New Year! The key to a happy year is simply living in the light of God's love, forgiveness and grace from the core of your being -- spirit, soul and body. Throughout the past 50 years, the Holy Spirit has empowered me to live a wholesome life in Christ. He can do the same for you.
