  • Good morning to everyone. Grace and Peace be with you.

    Before I start, I must issue a disclaimer. I strongly suggest that you do not consume ANY morning/evening beverages (depending on when you are reading this) while you read this. You have been duly warned and I cannot be held responsible for any mishaps from here on out.

    Every morning, we have a scheduled mini-bible study with some friends to start our day off right with God. Every morning, we are usually a few minutes late because I am trying to get everything done with my posts so that I do not forget anything. As long as I stay in my routine, I am good. Yesterday, I overslept a little (on purpose-I was tired), so there was no writing done. We were ready with coffee and bible in hand at a quarter til 7. A MIRACLE.

    When we got out of the truck, I asked if hubby had the keys; he did not, so I went in to get them off the hook. Not there. Checked the table; not there. Checked the office and last night’s clothes; not there. Now, before you think that I locked them inside, I did not; the truck was open. After several minutes of searching, we took the borrowed car to bible study. I let my son, who is visiting from across the pond, know and asked them to look for my keys. They seem to know where all my stuff is … I sure don’t. haha. Bible study was fantastic and when we got home, he informed me that they could not find them. The mega search and destroy was on. I moved laundry piles. I dug through my outgoing trash on the street. I crawled around under all the seats and stood on my head to look under the vehicle. Freezer, refrigerator, laundry in the basket and on the bed. Pulled all the covers down and pillows off. Shook towels and linen. Hands into sofa cushions and trash cans. These keys were lost. Or…very much secure … however you want to look at it.

    Finally, we called a lock smith to come out and make new keys. A very nice man, professional and polite. Joked with us and even let us know that when, not if, but when we find the other key … how to reprogram it so it will work in the truck also. I paid him, and we offered to spread the word about his business. I went inside to change to go to town, I had to go help my mother with a weed problem. I changed my clothes and went to put on my shoes. Left shoe no problem. RIGHT shoe … out falls the truck key. The one place that I did not look. And why would I look in my shoes that were inside the open closet door? Right? Naturally, I hobbled outside where everyone -but the locksmith- was with shoe in hand and tossed the key over the back of the truck into the drive. Laughter consumed my yard’s atmosphere.

    BRIGHT SIDE: I now have three keys for my truck instead of one.

    If you spewed coffee, tea, water, or any other beverage, I am not to blame. I warned you.

    A couple of things came from that little event. Seeds were planted with the locksmith in that there are still good people out there willing to help someone out. It really is a good idea to have more than one key for your vehicle and to always put them in the same place. Most importantly, however, when you lose your keys … always check your shoes that are in your closet. Just saying.

    The locksmith has been in our area, I guess, for a while, and someone else has been trying to snipe business at lower rates. Which is the case in any business. When we offered to help spread the word about his quality service, he was extremely thankful. You never know who you can impart His love on or in. I do not know if he was a believer or just someone who needed a smile of supporting love. What I do know is that my little story will bring smiles to more than just him, and the fact that it is true … well, that makes it even funnier. This world is full of ugly; will you help me bring brightness to the dark? Will you help me shine His Light?

    Be blessed.

    **So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. – 1 Corinthians 10:31

  • TUESDAY MORNING FAMILY PRAYER!

    “LORD, MOVE IN OUR FAMILIES!”

    “Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear.” — Isaiah 59:1 (KJV)

    Heavenly Father, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we come before You this Tuesday morning lifting up our entire family.
    Lord, move in our families as never before! Go into every home, touch every heart, and meet every need.
    Father, we lift up every family member who does not have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Your Word says You are “not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). Lord, save our sons, daughters, grandchildren, spouses, parents, siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins, and extended family. Draw them to Jesus and bring the wandering ones home!
    Father, touch every family member dealing with physical sickness, mental and emotional struggles, pain, disease, anxiety, fear, discouragement, or exhaustion.
    “Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed.” — Jeremiah 17:14 (KJV)
    Lord, heal bodies, strengthen minds, restore peace, guide doctors, and give wisdom concerning every treatment and decision.
    Father, we cry out for those struggling with drugs and alcohol. Break every chain of addiction! Destroy destructive cycles and give them strength, treatment, support, and godly people to walk with them toward freedom.
    “He brought them out of darkness... and brake their bands in sunder.” — Psalm 107:14 (KJV)
    Lord, we place our finances before You. Provide where there is lack. Give us wisdom, discipline, favor, opportunity, and resources. Help us become faithful stewards of everything You place in our hands.
    We pray for every family member seeking employment.
    “Establish thou the work of our hands upon us.” — Psalm 90:17 (KJV)
    Lord, open doors no one can shut. Give favor with applications, résumés, interviews, and employers. Lead them to the right opportunities.
    And for those who are already employed, Father, we thank You! Now we believe You for increase, advancement, salary increases, new opportunities, and promotion according to Your will.
    Lord, heal broken relationships. Restore communication. Break generational cycles. Remove unforgiveness, division, and bitterness. Protect our children, marriages, homes, and loved ones from dangers seen and unseen.
    Father, move through our bloodline!
    Save our family.
    Heal our family.
    Deliver our family.
    Provide for our family.
    Restore our family.
    Protect our family.
    And let Your Word be fulfilled:
    “I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring.” — Isaiah 44:3 (KJV)
    Lord, do something in our families that only You can get the glory for!
    We place every name, every sickness, every financial need, every job situation, every addiction, every troubled mind, every unsaved loved one, and every unspoken burden into Your hands.
    LORD, MOVE AS NEVER BEFORE!
    In the mighty, healing, saving, delivering, restoring, chain-breaking, door-opening name of JESUS CHRIST, we pray.
    AMEN, AMEN, AND AMEN!

    “As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” — Joshua 24:15 (KJV)

    Now I Know Why

    By Idalia Dinzey

    September 1st, 2026

    “And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.” John 12:34

    Can TV programs really affect the mind of a child and change the course of their life? I can answer that question with an experience from my childhood.

    I was somewhere between seven and eight years of age, and it was Semana Santa (Holy Week) in Puerto Rico. I was home with my three brothers as we watched a movie on TV called, Jesus of Nazareth. I remember watching the portrayal of Jesus’ life —how He became man to help us learn about our Heavenly Father, and how He was betrayed by one of His disciples who delivered Him into His enemy’s hands. Judas believed and knew that Jesus could put a stop to everything and get away…but He didn’t!

    As I watched, the movie took a painful turn, and suddenly, Jesus was being beaten! It was so heartbreaking that I ran to the screen and hugged it!

    “Oh Jesus, why?” I wept, even as my brothers yelled at me to get out of the way so they could watch. They didn’t understand what was happening inside of me. I ran to my room and sobbed into my pillow, “Why did you let them do that to you Jesus? Why? Why? Why?”

    I still cry as I read, hear, or watch anything about Christ’s ultimate sacrifice; but I no longer ask why, because I know why. And I’ve never let go that memory, and for a good reason. What I watched decades ago has remained in my heart and fueled my desire to teach our children about their salvation at an early age.

    I thank God for a mother who brought us up to love the Lord and be of service to Him. And I certainly never thought I’d be working with a television network that explains the “why’s” of Jesus to children, as well as adults. I know there are children whose parents don’t speak English, Spanish or Portuguese – the languages on 3ABN English and 3ABN Latino networks. But they are increasingly being taught English as an international language, and we shouldn’t underestimate the influence they’ll have as they translate our programs for their families.

    Television and radio can change lives for the good, and Bible truths bring about a sure change for the best! I’m so thankful for all who take a stand in supporting Jesus’ coming to our world to draw all men to Him. Our children and our homes have been blessed because of you!

  • Baptism and Prayer
    The light of Christ does not disappear from those who have received the mystery of baptism, but if they immerse themselves in evil, it becomes difficult for them to recognize it. This light is the inner intellectual perception of goodness, its love, pursuit, and adherence, and steadfastness in it. It is what moves the heart toward love, longing for God, constant clinging to the name of Jesus Christ in prayer, and love for that name which overcomes all things; for it is the most beloved name to the heavenly Father, and because it is the name spoken by the Father and the Holy Spirit. It is therefore the "Beloved" name by which we offer prayers to the Father in the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit.
    And when we are baptized in the name of the Holy Trinity, we receive a spiritual communion with the Trinity, which makes us love prayer, strive for it, and long to exist in the Trinity; for Christ Jesus who is in us moves us toward the Father, and the Spirit who is in us moves us toward Christ, and the Father's longing for us is that longing about which our Lord Jesus Christ says: "We will come to him and make our home with him" (John 14:23).

  • FORGIVEN, ACCEPTED, AND LOVED

    “So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding.”

    —Ephesians 1:6–8

    Because Jesus lives, you can be forgiven of your sins. The Apostle Paul wrote, “So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding” (Ephesians 1:6–8 NLT).

    That’s important to remember because your spiritual enemy will use guilt to make you question your relationship with the Lord. He will try to convince you that your sin makes you unworthy to be part of God’s family.

    Remember, though, that everything God has done has been because of His grace, which means “unmerited favor.” You aren’t merely forgiven, justified, and cleansed of your sins; you have been received in love by God Himself. This is because of His deep love for His own Son, Jesus. Because His Son lives in you, you have found His favor. You have the approval of God because of what Jesus has done.

    Some people have been raised in homes where their father never demonstrated any kind of love toward them. Maybe he was cold and distant. Or maybe, you were raised in a home where there wasn’t a father at all. We can transfer those emotions to God the Father. We can walk around in life feeling as though we don’t have the approval of God. We might think, “If I just did this, God would notice,” or “If I worked a little harder, then God would love me.”

    But that’s not the kind of Father we’re talking about. The psalmist wrote, “Father to the fatherless, defender of widows—this is God, whose dwelling is holy” (Psalm 68:5 NLT). Paul wrote, “All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ” (Ephesians 1:3 NLT). And James wrote, “Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father” (James 1:17 NLT).

    God approves of you. You are accepted and loved—not because you read your Bible a little longer, share Christ with more people, or give a little more in the offering. You are still accepted even when you don’t do all of that. You are accepted when you fail, when you slip up, when you give in to a familiar temptation. You are accepted not because of what you have done, but because of what Jesus has done.

    In understanding this great truth, you should want to do everything for the Lord’s glory—not to earn His approval, but because you already have it.

    God bless you!

  • SEPTEMBER THEME — LOVE THAT GROWS:
    Growing Together in Love, Wisdom and Grace

    WEEK 1
    GROWING IN UNDERSTANDING
    Learning to See Your Spouse Through the Eyes of Love

    SEPTEMBER DAY 1 - Morning

    Reflection
    UNDERSTANDING BEFORE JUDGING

    Good Morning!
    One of the greatest gifts you can give your spouse is the gift of being understood.
    Sometimes we are quick to judge because we see the behaviour but don't know the story behind it.
    Your husband may come home unusually quiet.
    Your wife may seem distant.
    One of you may become impatient over something that normally wouldn't matter.
    The easy response is:
    "What's wrong with you?"
    But love asks a better question:
    "What is happening with you?"
    There is a difference.
    Perhaps your spouse had a difficult day at work.
    Perhaps something happened that they haven't found the courage to discuss.
    Perhaps they are simply tired.
    Understanding doesn't mean agreeing with everything your spouse does.
    It means taking time to understand the person before passing judgment on the behaviour.
    Imagine a husband returning home from work in Accra after battling traffic for hours, frustrated and exhausted. His wife notices his silence and immediately assumes, "He's angry with me."
    But instead of reacting, she asks:
    "Honey, you've been quiet. Is everything okay?"
    That simple question may open a door that criticism would have closed.

    God's Word
    "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry."
    — James 1:19

    Today's Love Action
    Before making an assumption about your spouse today, ask one gentle question and listen carefully to the answer.

    Let's Talk
    Do I usually try to understand my spouse before I react to their behaviour?

    Prayer
    Heavenly Father, teach us to listen with patience and understand with compassion. Help us not to judge quickly or assume the worst about one another. Give us hearts that are willing to listen before speaking and understand before reacting. In Jesus' name, Amen.

    From The Counselor's Chair
    Many marital conflicts grow because couples respond to assumptions instead of information.
    Before you conclude, ask.
    Before you react, listen.
    Before you judge, understand.

    Marriage Nugget
    "Understanding often begins with one simple decision: listen before you judge."

    Remember
    In marriage, it is not about winning the argument; it is about winning each other's hearts.
