The Point – My Lot and My Portion
Several months ago I shared with you that the Holy Spirit had prompted me to begin meditating on the Psalms, focusing on a different Psalm each week beginning with the first one. As I have been faithful to do this, I have found strength, joy, encouragement, and a...
Priorities
Hey Everyone,This is not the weekly edition of The Point so after you read this you will find The Point next in line. Today I began to see that my prayers (no, actually my begging God) for wisdom are beginning to pay off. The Holy Spirit has been prompting me to pray...
The Point – Fragrant Worship
Have you ever simply watched other people worship? I know, I know---we don’t go to church for the purpose of watching others worship, but rather so that we, ourselves, can worship God. Sometimes, though, I just can’t help but “people watch” during the worship service....
The Point – Every Nation, Tribe and Tongue
I think that God loves for us to have moments where we are so overwhelmed by His presence and his majesty that we are left speechless. Just this week as I listened to a CD of the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, I was reminded of an experience that I had when I was in...
The Point – Beauty From Ashes
Isaiah 61: 1-3 describes the work that Jesus would do when he came to earth to die for our sins. It says, “The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to...
The Point – Invisible
Recently I was chatting with a friend who had been let go from her job. This woman is a unique individual who is not a Christian to my knowledge. I have shared the gospel with her on a couple of occasions but she has not yet responded and become a believer in Christ....
The Point – Spoiled
Greg and I had a very unpleasant surprise last weekend. We noticed that a not-so-pleasant smell had appeared in our basement garage and my husband set about finding the source of the stench. At first he found a dead mouse behind our chest freezer and he quickly gave...
The Point – Israel, God’s Chosen People
Last November I went with a group from Blairsville to Israel and truly fell in love with the land and its people. The Bible is now three dimensional to me after having seen many of the places about which I had read and studied. The people were warm and friendly and I...
The Point – Favorites versus Intimates
In the past year or so I have begun collecting miniature hosta plants. I have always liked hostas and never imagined that there were so many types. They come in dwarf, small, medium, large, very large and some sizes in between. I am particularly jazzed about the dwarf...
The Point – Thinking Ahead
Over the past couple of weeks, I have been working on a Bible study entitled “Conversation Peace: The Power of Transformed Speech” by Mary Kassian. Without fail, when the Lord brings me to a Bible study, He has something to teach me and this study has reminded me of...
The Point – Empty Spaces
I have two or three plants in my living room that really look very sad. They are alive, but just barely, thanks to my stellar gardening skills. They need to be moved out and discarded, but the truth of the matter is that I don’t know what I would put in their place....
The Point – Life Verse
A few weeks ago the title of The Point was “Lifter of my Head” and it was drawn from the verse in Psalm 3: 3 that says, “But you are a shield around me, O Lord; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.” In the weeks since I wrote that issue, the Holy Spirit has...
