Would You Like Something to Read?

Posted on January 14, 2021 by Kathleen

When I used to do Bible ministry with incarcerated youth, I’d often notice as I was leaving for home,  a woman would be sitting in the waiting room alone.  She would be waiting to pick up a son or daughter scheduled to be released. Typically there was nothing to read and she would sit quietly and wait.

I would be friendly and ask, “Are you waiting to take someone home?”

The typical answer was “Yes.”

“Would you like something to read while you wait?”  I’d show her my tracts in both English and Spanish and say, “They’re about Jesus.”

She’d usually pick one or two—no one ever refused them!

Recently I had my car serviced and I met a nice man in the waiting room. We chatted for a while and when my car was ready, I asked him if he’d like something to read while he continued to wait.

“Sure!  What do you have?”

I pulled out some tracts.

He glanced at them and said, “Do you love Jesus?”

I smiled, “I do!”

He said, “So do I!  I’m a pastor!”

I stayed a little longer and he told me about his church.  Then he said something that humbled me:   “You’re doing what I, as a pastor, should be doing.  Thank you for setting an example for me.”

Clean Up Your Language!

Posted on January 9, 2021 by Kathleen

An important teaching during my years doing Bible ministry with incarcerated teens:

Incarcerated teens who come to Bible study often make a decision to follow Jesus.  Yet many of them have a habit of cursing and they want help in overcoming this habit.  Here is my teaching:

It’s important to clean up your language. When we swear we sling words around because we are frustrated or angry.  Usually the words relate to two things:  (1) Spiritual (God) or (2) Bodily Functions (sex act or elimination).

Think about it. Curse words refer to a Person or activities that are very real and very necessary to our existence. Without God we wouldn’t be here. Without sex we wouldn’t be here.  Without bodily elimination we’d die!

Moreover, when we use the word “God” or “Jesus” in a disrespectful way, we are breaking the Third Commandment.  Is this the way we want to honor God?

God’s Word says,  “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses His name.”—Deuteronomy 5:11, Exodus 20:7.   It’s serious.  In fact, God placed this commandment above adultery and murder on His list.

Is it necessary to shout Cr__ or Sh__? Both are slang for feces. Why would anyone want to yell about feces?  How about the pi_s word?  Why yell about urine? It’s senseless.

Plan now what you will say the next time you feel frustrated or angry. How about a simple, “Oh No!”  The Bible says, “All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No.’  Anything beyond this comes from the evil one.” Practice now—so you are prepared in advance. You could even try, “Oh Dear!   Oh My!  Oh Boy!”

Does swearing impress people? Yes. It gives a bad impression.
You become unpleasant to be with.
It reduces the respect others have for you.
It’s a sign a bad attitude.
It is immature and disrespectful.
It reflects ignorance and shows your vocabulary is limited.
Swearing is lazy language and lacks imagination.
It offends people.
It shows lack of character.
It turns discussions into arguments.

Even if your friends swear,  you will be perceived as more mature, intelligent and polite if you control your language.

It’s your choice: Do you want to be considered crude and rude?
Or, do you want to have character and class?

  •  All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No.’ Anything beyond this comes from the evil one.     Matthew 5:37
  •  Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.     Ephesians 5:4
  • Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.     James 1:26
  •  With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be.     James 3:9-10

My Story: Born Again – and Healed!

Posted on January 4, 2021 by Kathleen

We all have a story and this is mine.   I was 27 when I was born again and healed.  My life changed dramatically. It was nothing I forced on myself or worked for.  I was attending my first Bible study and made a decision to take Jesus Christ as my personal Savior!  Just think—my sins would be forever forgiven!  I would have a free pass to heaven!  Who wouldn’t want that?

But wait!  God also wanted me to make Him my Lord!  That meant He wanted me to put Him FIRST in my life! How could I do that?  After weeks of inner turmoil, I finally made the decision:

I was alone at my kitchen table.  I simply talked to God and told him, “I cannot live the Christian life on my own power—I keep failing. I’m ready to surrender my life to You. Please forgive my sins. Send Your Holy Spirit to come and live inside me.  Take control of my life. Make me the person You want me to be.  I’m Yours.”

That was pretty much my prayer.   Immediately I sensed a peace settle over me—a peace with God I had never before known.  I knew He was pleased.

Within an hour that peace turned to joy.  I was so happy I’d made this decision! Within another hour there was love. I wanted to show love to people, even people who were difficult to love.

God began changing me! Every morning I would awaken and look at my life with new eyes! The worldly pleasures in my life—the books I’d read and some of the TV shows and movies we’d watch suddenly became distasteful and a waste of time.  I’d think, “I can’t believe I watch this silly show every week!”  Certain hobbies became frivolous and foolish. PEOPLE became more important than THINGS.  After one week I realized I had changed.  I was different. My husband noticed. So did my friends. It was then I realized Jesus’ words, “You MUST be born again” described what had happened to me.

Shortly before our marriage four years earlier,  I had experienced a perforated appendix. Peritonitis followed.  Afterward I was told my reproductive system had suffered irreparable damage and I would never bear children.  A year later I had corrective surgery but the surgery was not successful.  Meanwhile, my husband Dan was tested and we learned he was unable to father a child!  Adoption was repeatedly recommended.

The very week I gave my life to Jesus was the week God healed both Dan and me.  I gave birth to a son the next year.  Two years later we had a daughter. Later I required more abdominal surgery.  The surgeon’s first words after I awoke were, “Where did you get your children? I saw your innards. There is no way anyone with your reproductive system could ever conceive and bear children.”

“I told you they were miracles.”

  •  [Jesus said] You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ John 3:7.
  •  Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him.     Psalm 127:3
  •  Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.    James 1:17

Elohim is Plural?

Posted on December 31, 2020 by Kathleen

I was having a discussion with an older Jewish gentleman who was studying the Torah.

He said, “I know you’re a student of the Bible.  But did you know the word for God in the Bible is Elohim—and that word in Hebrew is plural?”

“Really?  Wow! I’m glad to know that!  That explains the verses in Genesis 1 where God said, “Let us make man in our image…so God made man in His own image.”  The Scripture there changes from plural to singular.  I’d say that’s one more example of the Trinity:  the Father, Son and Holy Spirit working together in creation.”

He said, “No, No!  We believe that refers to the angels that helped God create man.”

“What?  But angels are created beings! God didn’t need angels to help Him create man!  He could simply speak us into existence!  Besides, Scripture tells us we were made in the image of God, not in the image of God and angels. I’m afraid, my friend, I must respectfully disagree with you here.”

He smiled and nodded.

I smiled back.

  • Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.       Genesis 1:26-27

Nightmares in Fourth Grade

Posted on December 26, 2020 by Kathleen

When Matt was in public school fourth grade, he began having nightmares.

He said his bad dreams were about the scary stories he had to read in school!  They were not in a textbook, but were handouts that he brought home.  I looked them over and discovered they were stories about the occult!  They were about witches, magic and casting spells.

I wrote a letter to Matt’s teacher explaining that in my opinion the stories were inappropriate, and why.  The next day after school, I hand-delivered the letter to the teacher and asked him to read it while I waited outside.

He apologized when we talked later.  He said he’d never thought of the stories as improper, or unsuitable, but rather fascinating and exciting.

I explained that as Bible believing Christians the occult is something we believe is evil and harmful.  I assured him that I am not alone in this matter, that many families in this school share our faith and would be equally alarmed if they were aware of what their children were reading.  He said he appreciated me coming to him and assured me that he would change to another curriculum!

I came away quietly praising God that Matt’s teacher did not appear threatened or angry at my concern.

A few days later Matt said his teacher had asked him where we attend church.  The following Sunday we were introduced to his wife.  They were sitting across from us in church!  A short time later they joined our church and were baptized!

“Thank You Precious Lord,  for using me to influence not only a change in curriculum, but a change in a teacher’s life.”

  •  Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.    2 Timothy 2:15
  •  See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.    Colossians 2:8
  • As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do.                           1 Peter 1:14-15

Homeless Shelter for Women

Posted on December 18, 2020 by Kathleen

I accompanied a group sponsoring a Christmas party at a homeless shelter for women.  I was invited to bring my guitar and lead in the Christmas Caroling.  I concluded the caroling with a poem:  ‘Twas The Night Before Jesus Came’  written by Ann Marie Forest.

‘Twas the night before Jesus came and all through the house  not a creature was praying, not one in the house. Their Bibles were lain on the shelf without care in hopes that Jesus would not come there.

The children were dressing to crawl into bed. Not once ever kneeling or bowing a head. And Mom in her rocker with baby on her lap was watching the Late Show while I took a nap.

When out of the East there arose such a clatter.  I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter.  Away to the window I flew like a flash, tore open the shutters and threw up the sash!

When what to my wondering eyes should appear but angels proclaiming that Jesus was here. With a light like the sun sending forth a bright ray, I knew in a moment this must be THE DAY!

The light of His face made me cover my head. It was Jesus returning just as He said!  And though I possessed worldly wisdom and wealth, I cried when I saw Him in spite of myself.

In the Book of Life which He held in His hand was written the name of every saved man. He spoke not a word as He searched for my name; when He said “it’s not here” my head hung in shame.

The people whose names had been written with love, He gathered to take to His Father above. With those who were ready He rose without a sound. While all the rest were left standing around.

I fell to my knees, but it was too late; I had waited too long and thus sealed my fate. I stood and I cried as they rose out of sight.  Oh, if only I had been ready tonight.

In the words of this poem the meaning is clear:  The coming of Jesus is drawing near. There’s only one life and when comes the last call, we’ll find that the Bible was true after all!     + + +                                                    

There was silence in the room when I finished reading.  I said,  “If the Lord Jesus were to come today, would you be ready?  Perhaps some of you are ready.  Yet there may be others who aren’t sure and today you want to make sure that you are saved and belong to the family of God.  So, I’m going to pray a prayer and give you an opportunity to have all your sins forgiven and get right with God.  If you wish, you may repeat after me as I pray.  Let’s have every head bowed and every eye closed.”

As I began to pray, the room filled with loud voices repeating my words:  “Dear God in heaven, I’ve done some wrong things.  I admit I’m a sinner and I don’t deserve Your love. Thank You for loving me anyway.  Thank You for going to the cross to pay for my sins. Please forgive me for all my sins. I desire to turn away from my sins and follow You.  But I cannot do it on my own.  Please send Your Holy Spirit to live in me and make me into the person You want me to be.  I am surrendering my life to your control today.   I receive Your forgiveness for my sins and I thank You for sending Your Holy Spirit to live in me forever.  I thank You in advance, for what You are going to do in my life.  I pray in the precious name of Jesus,  Amen.”

There followed tears of joy in that room. Women came up to receive little booklets to help them grow in their new faith.  Tonight will be a Bible study some of them will attend for the first time.   Please join me in praying for these precious women who want to turn their lives around.

This life is temporary.  This life is short.  When this life is over, our bodies will die and become empty shells, but our souls will continue to live forever.  Where will the “real you” live?  Will you live for all eternity separated from God?  Or will you spend eternity in the presence of God in heaven?   Learn more so you can make your most important decision:   http://www.godlife.com/gospel/  and  http://www.godlife.com/en/about-christianity

Christmas Gifts & Kids

Posted on December 17, 2020 by Kathleen

My husband and I are from large nuclear families. Consequently, when our children were small they would receive an abundance of gifts.  We wanted to prevent them from being overwhelmed on Christmas morning.  So a couple weeks before Christmas, we’d permit them to open one gift every 2-3 days.

But wait—we had a rule!  Before they could open their second gift, they had to write a personal thank you note to the person whose gift they had already opened.  By the time Christmas arrived, all the thank you notes were done!  The kids were able to take their time writing their notes, knowing there was only one to write—that is, until the next gift was opened.

When they were very young, I would help them compose their notes.  As they grew older they became more confident and creative in their letter-writing.  It also developed into a good habit that continues to this day.

Now we are receiving precious thank you letters from the grandchildren! What a delight to know they are being trained up in the way they should go.

  •  Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.    Proverbs 22:6

Fulfilled Prophecy Proves Jesus is Messiah

Posted on December 14, 2020 by Kathleen

The Messiah, Jesus Christ, Savior of Mankind   by Josh McDowell

The Old Testament of the Bible contains 333 references to the Messiah’s coming, many of which are considered major prophecies about the future made 400 years in advance.

Genesis 3:  God said a man, a Messiah, would come into the world, undo the works of Satan and be born of a woman. In all of Scripture, only one man is “born of the seed of a woman.” All other biblical characters are born of the seed of a man.

Genesis 9:  Noah had three sons: Shem, Japheth and Ham. God eliminates 2/3 of them declaring that the Messiah would come through the line of Shem.

Genesis 28:  God states that the Messiah would be one of Abraham’s descendants. Abraham had two sons, Isaac and Ishmael. Fifty percent of Abraham’s descendants were eliminated when God selected his second son, Isaac. Isaac had two sons, Jacob and Esau and God chose the line of Jacob.

Genesis 49:  Jacob had 12 sons, out of which developed the 12 tribes of Israel. God eliminated 11/12 of the Jewish tribes when He singled out the tribe of Judah for Messiahship.

Isaiah 11:1:  Of all the family lines within the tribe of Judah, the line of Jesse was the divine choice.

2 Samuel 7 and 17, Jeremiah 23, 1 Chronicles 7:  Of Jesse’s eight children God chooses David’s lineage.

Psalms 22:  A prophecy dating 1012 B.C. predicted this man would be crucified, nailed to a tree, and His hands and feet would be pierced. The amazing thing is that this Roman-style method of crucifixion was described and written about 800 years before crucifixion was put into effect by the Romans.

Isaiah 7:  States the Messiah will be born of a virgin: a natural birth of unnatural conception and a criteria beyond human planning and control.

Isaiah and Psalms (several prophecies recorded):  Describe the social climate and response that God’s man will encounter: His own people, the Jews, will reject Him; and the Gentiles will believe in Him.

Zechariah 11, Psalm 41 (400 B.C. prophecy):  God says the Messiah will be 1) betrayed  2) by a friend  3) for 30 pieces  4) of silver (not gold but silver). He also says that it would be  5) cast on the floor  6) of the temple and  7) used to buy a potter’s field.  That’s pretty specific!

Micah 5:2:  God eliminated all the cities of the world and selected Bethlehem, with less than 1,000 people, as the Messiah’s birthplace.

Malachi 3:  God says the Savior would come while the temple of Jerusalem was standing. This is of great significance for the temple was destroyed in 70 A.D. and wasn’t rebuilt.

Approximately 40 men claimed to be the Jewish Messiah, but only Jesus Christ fulfilled prophecy to substantiate His claims. The precise lineage; the place, time and manner of birth; people’s reactions; the betrayal; the time and manner of death, are just a fragment of hundreds of details that made up the address of God’s Son, the Messiah, Savior of the world.

Why did God go to all this trouble? Very simple. He wanted Jesus Christ to have all the credentials He needed when He came into the world. Yes, the first Christmas was well planned.

  • Fulfilled prophecy is one way we know the Bible is true.  “When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass, that is a word which the Lord has not spoken.” Deuteronomy 18:22

Creating Christmas Traditions

Posted on December 11, 2020 by Kathleen

Let’s create good and healthy memories!  An excellent family devotion during the Christmas season is to pray for the senders of the Christmas cards we receive each day.

Years ago a Bible study leader recommended we read the Christmas story from Luke 2 to small children every day between December 1 and 25.  We did this.  Remarkably, the kids did not tire of hearing the same story again and again.  In fact, they enjoyed the repetition!  Soon they were reciting with me. The following year we did it again.

What to do on Christmas day with the extended family?  Once the gifts are opened and tummies are full, what next?

We enjoyed talent shows—with one rule:  Every family member had to take part!  They could sing, dance, recite poetry, tell a story, juggle oranges, play an instrument, show off their gymnastics, recite Scripture, read Scripture, etc.

My father played guitar and although he’d begin leading us in Christmas carols, he’d end up singing his favorite oldie,  “The Yellow Rose of Texas.” Dad typically sang off pitch, but we loved him and loved his singalongs.

I remember the violin duets I did with our daughter and the musical ensemble when my husband would join in on his recorder. We’d inevitably make mistakes and there would be laughter and fun.

One year we put on a family Christmas Pageant with cousins.  Today our grandchildren are doing the pageants and will invite neighbors to attend. They make it an event, serving hot chocolate and cookies.  How sweet it is to see a newborn grandchild asleep in the manger.  Because of Covid-19 this year, it’s something best done outside, weather permitting.

Want the script?  Here it is from my 2018 Christmas post:   https://www.kathleensfaithwalk.com/raising-kids/christmas-pageant-script/

  •  Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.      Deuteronomy 11:18-19

Reach the Dying at Christmas

Posted on December 7, 2020 by Kathleen

Christmas is the one time of year when it’s legitimate to share the message of Jesus. Everywhere we turn there are people dying for one little drop of kindness.  People are dying from lack of hope that is gained through the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Those who are dying may keep busy with work, family, sports, hobbies, addictive behaviors, etc.  But if they don’t have Jesus, they are restless and without hope.  All their busy activities are temporary solutions to their restlessness.  Jesus is the only permanent solution.  Jesus IS our peace.  Jesus IS our hope.

One way to reach out is with a simple plate of warm cookies. Personally, I don’t bake, but we have fruit trees.  We’ve walked the neighborhood, singing Christmas Carols, pulling our wagon filled with bags of avocados or tangerines from our trees.  Tied with brightly colored ribbons, we’ll attach a Christmas card with the true message of Christmas.  Or it might be a Christmas tract or the booklet, Would You Like to Know God Personally? by Bill Bright:  http://www.everystudent.com/features/gettingconnected.html

An excellent Christmas tract in the form of a tiny comic in many languages:  The Greatest Story Ever Told: https://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0293/0293_01.asp

Or…a colorful bag containing a package of microwave popcorn plus a Jesus Movie!  If your church orders 100 or more, the cost is just 41 cents each!  Order here:  https://store.powertochange.org/p-1181-jesus-special-gift-edition-dvd-s3l.aspx

Remember your mail carrier, gardener, newspaper carrier,  hairdresser, etc.
Have a nut or persimmon tree?  Share them!  Attach a note, “Merry Christmas from the Smith Family! Jesus loves you!”  The “Jesus loves you” part is most important.  Be bold!

This is fun to do as a church family:  reaching out to the neighborhood surrounding your church campus with gift bags of homemade cookies or produce.  Be sure to enclose a booklet with the message of Jesus’ love and then extend an invitation to attend your church’s special Christmas program–assuming they will have one this Covid Christmas!

  •  For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility.     Ephesians 2:14
  •  A new command I give you: Love one another.  As I have loved you, so you must love one another.  By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.      John 13:34-35
