Give Him Glory

Category: Volume 3 Issue 1 | (0)

Just what are we saying when we say, “give Him glory?” What does glory mean? I am reading a book that was given to me by a wonderful woman of God, written by Dutch Sheets, titled “God’s Timing for Your Life.” May I say it is a small, but wonderful book. As I was reading, Mr. Sheets spoke about giving glory to God.

The Greek word for glory is doxa, which has the same connotation as recognition. So giving glory to God is simply but profoundly recognizing Him for who He is and allowing Him to be recognized in and … Read more

The Winter of Our Lives

Category: Volume 1 Issue 16 | (0)

The cold of winter has come upon us. We know that the seasons must change and therefore the temperature will change.

There are other winters that come into our lives as we grow older.

This was written for the residents at the Palmer House at UPMC when the Women’s Aglow Chapter of McKeesport went out to minister to and just share a little time and love with them and I thought I would share it in “The Well” with all of our wonderful readers.

When we come into the winter of our lives
We often find that what use to … Read more

Salvation: A Work in Progress, Pt 5

Category: Volume 1 Issue 16 | (0)

Grace and peace be unto you in the name of our Father and our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Well in the past few issues we have dealt with believing and walking in our salvation and then we came to the place of trying to rest in knowing that God still loves us in spite of who we are and what we do. Now we want to look at the last phase that I spoke of in the beginning and that being trust.

All of this that we have been dealing with is really about relationship – growing in our … Read more

The End: Love

Category: The End, Volume 1 Issue 11 | (0)

What is love? Love to me is commitment. Love is denying myself and putting others first. Love is when you’ve done me wrong, I forgive you and let it go. Love is when I give you something that causes you to be comfortable, but in the giving it makes me uncomfortable. Love is going beyond my own strength to help you out. Love is standing up against an enemy for your sake.

You might say, “Right, no one here can meet all of that.” You are absolutely right. But, I can tell you about someone who can meet it all. … Read more

Love

Category: Volume 1 Issue 11 | (0)

February – the world celebrates this as the month of love. Isn’t that kind of sad, only one month of love? On Valentine’s Day, the day of love, the world decorates with hearts and cupids. Boxes of candy and flowers are given. Did you realize all that the world gives out for this month is not lasting? It is there for a fleeting moment and then it is all over. Even the line they hand out saying that diamonds are forever – sorry they are not.

But, with Christ love is more than just one month. The gift that we … Read more

Early One Christmas Morn

Category: Volume 1 Issue 9 | (0)

There was a little baby born
Early on Christmas morn.

While all the earth was so very unaware
Of how much the Father truly cared.

For in that little bundle
Wrapped in a manger so humble

Came the greatest gift
Sent to give all mankind a lift.

If you look real close you will see
The whole world was asleep;
They did not realize this event so sweet.

But none the less in a meager stable
God set before us a banquet table.

Can you hear Him say,
“Receive My Son and eat of peace.
He came to serve a … Read more

The End

Category: The End, Volume 1 Issue 8 | (0)

Did you know that the end is really the beginning? Well it really is. I suppose you are saying, Okay what is she talking about? We know that in the world the end is the end, but God is not like the world. When we say I have come to the end of my rope, if we look to God, the end becomes the beginning. It becomes the beginning of the rest of your life.

In each of our lives, if we just keep on living, there comes a time where the struggles and confusion of everything begins to weigh … Read more

Change

Category: Volume 1 Issue 8 | (0)

If we are honest with ourselves, most of us do not like change. We become comfortable with the way things are. It may not be fulfilling or satisfying, but it is familiar. Change means dealing with the unknown, and as people who need to know, we do not deal well with the unknown. So, we often miss what God has for us when we come into His family. Being in the family of God affords us a lot of things but we do not want to change to receive them. So often we miss the mark of receiving our blessings. … Read more

Do You Trust Me

Category: Volume 1 Issue 3 | (0)

I tell you to go this way
But you turn and walk another way

I tell you speak this word
But you say I don’t know if I really heard.

Don’t you trust Me?

I tell you look at all I’ve made for you
And you turn to man to see if he approves.

Just for you I flung the starts, the sun, and the moon in the sky
And there you sit scratching your head and wondering why

Don’t you trust Me?

To Calvary I sent my son, even if you were the only one
But you still ponder … Read more

The Butterfly

Category: Volume 1 Issue 3 | (0)

Often we wonder why those around us, family, friends, church family and sometimes co-workers keep going through struggles. They keep going around the same mountain or having the same struggle. Now I am not saying we will not have struggles, for Jesus said in John 16:33, “These things have I spoken unto you that in me ye might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world.” So we will have struggles, but they do not have to be the same. The word tells us that His mercies are … Read more
