Living With Confidence

Here is a sermon about living with confidence in the face of life's challenges. It's at Bethany Presbyterian Church in Grants Pass, Oregon. Based on Psalm 27:1.

"What would it be like to be made whole?"

 Here's a sermon at Bethany Presbyterian Church about how God comes into the lowest of our circumstances and brings help and healing (the congregation is seated in the back pews and are not visible in the video). Based on Mark 10:46-52. 

Compassion, A Path of Love...

Janet, her husband John, and their two daughters, eight year old Audrey and seven year old Libby, live in an urban neighborhood. They and their neighbors had noticed a van with a small beat up camper

trailer parked at the end of the block. The van had now been there five months.

Coming home from church one Sunday, Janet felt God gently leading her, 

"Go to the trailer and invite the people in the trailer to lunch."

Janet said, "John, I think we should invite whoever is in the trailer to lunch. I get the sense God is leading us to do this!"

"You can knock on the door!" replied John.

"You've got to come with me!" Janet pleaded.

"I'll come, but you knock," said John. 

That afternoon, filled with adventure, they walked to the trailer. Janet knocked on the door. Nothing. Then they heard a small voice. A woman opened the door a crack. 

Janet, holding a shopping list in hand, said, "Hi, we're going to the store and wondered if we could pick anything up for you."

The woman seemed startled at having a visitor. "The only thing I have on my list is butter," she quietly replied. 

By now the door had opened a bit wider. Janet, John and their daughters could see that the woman was pregnant. A man and a two year old boy were also inside. 

Janet asked, "Do you need bread?" 

"Okay," replied the woman. 

Janet, enjoying their encounter said, "Great. On our way home we'll stop by... We actually have a pot of stew on the stove too. Would you like to join us for lunch?"

"Sure," replied the woman. 

Janet said, "Good--when we get back we can all walk together to our house over there."

Excitedly, Janet, John, and the girls walked to the store, the girls hopping and skipping every other step along the way. They were giddy over what God was doing with them that moment, as they took action and walked a journey only He could lead.*

Whatever your family circumstances, God wants to lead you on your own unique path of love. This path creates powerful meaning in your life.

Finding Help for ph Imbalances . . .

Help for Finding Balance

Sometimes the cause of stomach aches, headaches, body aches, and higher body temperature is a ph imbalance. The body

optimally functions when it is more alkalized in its body cells and its blood stream. When the body has a ph imbalance it has an acidic biochemistry within. Be aware that foods can cause an acidifying effect or an alkalizing effect. Choose to favor foods that are neutral or alkalizing in their effect upon the body. What foods are these? Green vegetables, some citric fruits (limes, lemons, especially), other fruits, fish, and a variety of nuts. 

• Drink citric juices even twice a day (a.m. and p.m.)
• Include green vegetables, when possible
• Try smoothies with mango fruit… for a meal (if you have a blender)

When a Mother Is a Mom

John 19:25-27

Experience Healing and Wholeness

I've started a new project on the side of what else I do. I'm offering a healing ministry to individuals who are seeking help with their healing journey. I want to help in whatever way I can.

Healing seems difficult to come by. At worse, we see the bump in the road instead of the pathway ahead. At its best, seeking healing is a character-building process requiring patience, diligence and following through with the gospel message thorn-of-hurt and all.

Healing is pure joy to experience. Experiencing the Divine at work in healing is an utter joy.

Healing is a gift to enjoy and use. I'm looking for ways to expand my ministry.

If you or someone you know is looking for healing, whether you live in the northwest or beyond, I encourage you to reach out to me with what you are looking for. You can do that by using the Contact Form on the right hand side bar on this page.
