And we give thanks to the Lord for He is good. “You make known to me the...

Giving Thanks, Giving Tuesday

GIVING THANKS In the busyness of life's daily demands, we often forget to be thankful for the things that God does for us. Thanksgiving is a time to slow down and reflect on God's blessings in our lives. He protects us like a shield and provides for all our needs. God's love is unfailing even when we fall short. When we are weak, He is our strength, an ever present help in our time of need. He ...

The Passover Lamb

What a joy it is to celebrate the risen Lord! This is Holy Week when believers gather together to remember the Passover supper, the somber holiness of Jesus' death on Good Friday, and the risen Lord on Easter Sunday when we rejoice and exalt our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Only the Lord knew what 2020 would bring on the world while we all started the year full speed ahead, doing business as usual. Suddenly, a pandemic hit, and people were shut in and isolated from each other. God, in His infinite mercy, has sustained us and provided for our needs. With compassion, He comforts those who have lost loved ones. Churches and various organizations have stepped up to gi...

God is Love

In the depth of our souls, everyone desires to be loved and accepted. God, our Father, created us to be love-receptors, and His love is unfailing, limitless, and unconditional. God is LOVE. A father’s love and affection are necessary for a child’s well-being and security. I want to share a story of one man’s life-changing experience while he was in jail. When Julio became a Christian, he made a...

God is working in the jails through the church services offered to the inmates

God is working in the jails through the church services offered to the inmates. Water From the Rock supports this important ministry, OCJM. Here is an example of God’s wonderful grace in a woman’s life (her name has been changed). Lourdes said she didn’t like God at all and had been incarcerated for five years. She had been in jail and only a year and a half ago accepted the Lord there as her p...

A Shelter from the Storm

Although God’s benefits are for all His children, there are many people who don’t know God or have not opened their hearts to Him. As I prayed recently with some precious women at a local shelter home, it was evident that they knew about the Father’s love. But as I listened to one young lady’s heart breaking story, it was obvious that it wasn’t always so for her. Once in darkness and despair, s...

Steve, Char, Steve and Linda performed at city halls, churches, and schools. One of the highlights of our trip was the perfor...

When these teenagers get the care and assistance they need to complete their pregnancy in a safe environment, hope is restored and babies’ lives are saved. For many years Mary’s Shelter has given a second chan...
