God’s Suffering Saints
“They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword. They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated of whom the world was not worthy–wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.” Hebrews 11:37-38

False Christs and the Movies: “What say ye of the Christ?”
We watch little TV except for an occasional “decent” movie, special broadcast or news presentation or, on occasion, a really excellent PBS special of our favorite artists. This past week it was interesting to see in perusing the channel lineup how many “false christs” and “false gospels” are portrayed, preached and taught on TV. I was [...]

Grace to Stand Devotionals: “Be Holy”
Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, [...]
Man on God’s Stage
This is the beginning of knowledge and understanding for without it man is amass in confusion of his life. Peace comes with knowledge and understanding that God is truly on His throne ruling and governing all things for His glory and the good of His people. Calvin speaks of what we as believers know. God [...]

Excerpt from Chapter 1, Summary Commentary, October 2008
“Pray without ceasing.” 1 Thess 5:17
“Prayer is beyond any question the highest activity of the human soul. Man is at his greatest and highest when upon his knees he comes face to face with God.” __D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
“We know and [...]
For Consistency in the Christian Life
For Consistency in the Christian Life
LORD, what is the matter with us that we are so fitful and moody,
so changeful — one moment professing our love for Thee,
and the next moment yielding to temptations
that lure us away from Thee?
One moment, cheerful, smiling, and kind,
and the next, glum and surly.
Lord, we do not understand ourselves!
What strange [...]
Theology Girl & “A Heart for Freedom”
A “Heart for Freedom”
”Heavenly Notes”
JoyPals.com-ReformedWomen
“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:32
Freedom – Election 2008 is taking up most of my time and attention and even my theological thoughts are leaning to those things that represent our God-given freedoms. Here is another article I wrote back in 2005 on “freedom” [...]
Elections and the Casting of Lots
The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD. Proverbs 16:33
The peace that passes understanding is the knowledge that the Omnipotent, Holy, Righteous and Glorious God is in providential control of all things in heaven and earth. Let the gainsayers, soothsayers, prognosticators and men/women with no knowledge as dust particles [...]
Yes World and Charlie Gibson, God Has A Plan
In light of the ignorance of man as to God’s world and His providential plan and control of it, let us enlighten you:
God Has a Plan
It is unthinkable that a God of infinite wisdom and power would create a world without a definite plan for that world. And because God is thus infinite His plan [...]
We Remember 911
Never Forget…
“If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayer that is made [...]
Reformed Women, Theology Girls on Media
If you spend any time whatsoever watching/listening to the media in any of its forms, you are soon overwhelmed with how biased, unfair, liberal and devilish it is. This is especially so as it pertains to political matters. The recent attack against Sarah Palin (who we and the over 14,000 members of the JoyPals Network [...]

Understanding blessings, growing in grace, showing mercy and putting it to work … here it is in action:
“We were so blessed in April, Todd and I welcomed our littlest one into the world, a perfectly beautiful baby boy named Trig. You know, from the inside, no family ever seems typical, and that’s how it is with [...]

“The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life.” Proverbs 31:11,12
“It is in her own home—that this warmth of heart and this openness of hand are first to be shown. It is as wife and [...]

Happy July! It is summer and busy travel season. Take care as you travel!
Let us not fail to learn the secret of receiving much from Christ…
JUNE 17.
“You meet him that rejoices and works righteousness, those that remember you in your ways.” Isaiah 64:5
Let us not fail to learn the secret of receiving much from Christ- even the free dispensing abroad of what we have already received. Be assured of this, that he will receive the most from God who does [...]
“A Loving Purpose”
A LOVING PURPOSE
“The Lord has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.” Psalm 35:27
What is “prosperity?” Is it threads of life weaved into a bright outcome? a full cup? ample riches? worldly applause? an unbroken circle? No, these are often a snare; received without gratitude; dimming the soul to its nobler destinies. Often spiritually it [...]
Think Before You Teach
“Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers,
for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.”
James 3:1
Think Before You Teach
In our Joypals group, we have been studying Carol Ruvolo’s “James on Works” which I would highly recommend for women’s Bible-Book studies. I always enjoy Carol’s studies because she “digs deep” [...]
Church, Wright and “Christianity and our Times”
In a day when churches and its pastors/teachers are using the pulpit for anything and everything but the true gospel message of salvation, it is high time for us to revisit what we believe and sharpen our swords/minds for spiritual readiness in battle. I am reading through BB Warfield’s Works, which are, mildly put, “incredible” [...]
