     It’s time for another “Book Blessings” video… whether you’re needing to pay off debt — or just wanting to build up a savings account and an emergency account, this book can be very helpful for you and your family’s financial management. Today, I’m sharing my book review for Debt-Proof Living: How to Get Out of Debt and Stay That Way (my referral link). This is one of THE BEST financial management books that I’ve ever read.

    A TRIBUTE TO ALEX – Guest Post & Poem by Kathy McCullough

    A TRIBUTE TO ALEX – Guest Post and Poem by Kathy McCullough, Pastor’s Wife, Ark City, KS As a guest writer for this blog, I wanted to pay tribute to our son-in-law, Alex.  Alex had ALS and went to Heaven over 7 months ago. Before I go on, I am going to share this verse:  Psalm 78:19 kjv, “Yea, they spake against God, they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness.” Alex married our middle daughter and after they were married, he became a very zealous, faithful young man who loved serving the Lord.  He even was planning on going to Bible College. About two months into married…

    God’s Vitamin “C” for the Spirit – Book Blessings Book Review

    I’ve decided to re-title my monthly book features as “Book Blessings” because what I love to share with you are books that’s been a blessing to me and my family. Today, I’m sharing a story from the book, God’s Vitamin “C” for the Spirit — Tug-at-the-heart” stories to fortify and enrich your life (my referral link). The stories in this book are compiled by Kathy Collard Miller and D.

Also, the book states that most of the verses are in KJV, but not ALL…

    Facing Trials In Life… You’re Not Alone

    Guest post by Kristina Duncan, Pastor’s Wife  Victory Baptist Church, Pleasant Prairie, WI The Book of Psalms has been such a huge encouragement to me over the years. During this season that is designated by the world as Thanksgiving, I can’t help but think of the verses in Psalms 107:1,2,  “O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;” It seems that no matter who I talk to, wherever I go, it is pretty much the same story. I have heard of so many Christians…

    Use What You’ve Got – Let God Do the Rest

    A short while back, I read the following Scripture about a widow who owed money to a creditor and was on the verge of losing her own two sons to slavery due to the debt that she could not pay. Can you take a moment to place yourself in this widow’s shoes…and imagine how she felt?  How about the desperation of losing her two sons — and she had already lost her husband previously?  If you’re a mother, then it’s not hard to imagine the extreme yearning and pain in her heart not to let this hardship come upon her sons. How about the fear? Who would not fear losing…
