Live in the Light of Jesus–Lift up your Lamps of Oil

March 23, 2017 Margaret Bible Study, Blog, Christian Meditations, Christianity, Devotional, Faith, Jesus Christ, Jewish Messiah, Joy, Uncategorized

God made us in his image and we can rise up with the Light of Heaven and be creative, intentional, and passionate in all we do. Remember what Jesus said about the Ten Virgins? “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now…

Seeing the World with Sylas

February 13, 2017 Margaret Blog, Christian Meditations, Christianity, Devotional, Faith, Uncategorized, Wonder

It’s already springtime in Charlotte and so I took little Sylas out for a stroll. He learned to walk about four weeks ago. Imagine if a 1 ½-year-old walked out of his house and went on his own. That’s how I wanted him to feel. Except, I would be there to redirect him if needed. No…

Kissed by God

October 16, 2015 Margaret Blog, Christian Meditations, Christianity, Devotional, Faith, Jesus Christ, Uncategorized

Besides dying for our sins and ending our separation from God by doing so, Jesus showed us God’s heart: God WANTS us. Many years ago, when I was on a private retreat, I was listening to tapes on experiencing a close relationship with God. The teacher had this prayer exercise: “Ask the Lord what He…

The Genius of Jesus

June 8, 2015 Margaret Bible Study, Blog, Christian Meditations, Christianity, Devotional, Faith, Uncategorized

I saw this bit of a plant in the grass while walking my dog yesterday. Whatever it is, it captured my attention. I brought it home and took this close-up picture of it with my cell phone. Look at the beauty and engineering, the artwork, that went into the design of it. It goes without saying—the…

The Art of Loving God

June 6, 2015 Margaret Bible Study, Blog, Christian Meditations, Christianity, Devotional, Faith, Israel, Israel and Prophecy, Jesus Christ, Uncategorized

I’ve considered writing a book by this blog’s title: The Art of Loving God. It sounds rather mystical and religious. I don’t think I’ve grown too worldly, however I know I’m more down to earth than I’ve ever been. Maybe it’s our culture. We western Christians, especially in America, are practical, dress comfortable, and speak directly…

What Delights God the Most?

February 11, 2015 Margaret Bible Study, Blog, Christian Meditations, Christianity, Devotional, Faith, Israel, Jesus Christ

I am writing COME AND SEE and decided this last chapter might make a good blog. My last blog is like this one; I am still thinking about how much David and Peter’s heart affected God. This chapter, while following the chronology of events in the Bible, mirrors the same theme. Hope you enjoy. If…

It’s Something Only God Sees

January 16, 2015 Margaret Bible Study, Blog, Christian Meditations, Christianity, Devotional, Faith, Jesus Christ, Jewish Messiah

“I had always felt life first as a story—and if there is a story there is a storyteller.” G.K. Chesterton. We are characters living out subplots, our life-stories, within God’s Story. I began this morning considering Simon Peter and King David. Their stories are alike. David lived before Christ’s time, Peter lived during and after…

Once Upon A Time – The Fullness of Love was Born

December 7, 2014 Margaret Advent devotional, Bible Study, Christian Meditations, Christianity, Devotional, Faith, Israel and Prophecy, Jesus Christ, Jewish Messiah, Uncategorized

At first sight, Miriam shares her joy . . . I loved Yeshua so much I cried. He was mine. He came from God, and he was mine. I studied his fingernails, each one so tiny and delicate. I marveled at his eyelashes, so beautiful against his face. His nose, his chin, everything about him…

Fools for God

February 6, 2014 Margaret Bible Study, Blog, Christian Meditations, Christianity, Devotional, Faith, Jesus Christ, Jewish, Jewish Messiah, Uncategorized

Sometimes my beliefs seem crazy. What Christians believe have the surface appearance of really farfetched tales of fiction. I sense this sometimes when speaking to one of my grandchildren about heaven and hell, creation, angels and demons, and more. Stranger than that are the people of biblical record. One man built an ark before the…

Surprise! Unwrapping God’s Presence

December 27, 2013 Margaret Bible Study, Blog, Christian Meditations, Christianity, Devotional, eBook, Faith, Jesus Christ, Uncategorized

God came to us as a stranger. Nobody expected to see the Messiah come in the way He came. God fulfilled the prophecies about Himself but not in ways anyone could grasp. Really, not even those closest to Jesus understood who He really was, not until after the resurrection. Even then the realization came slowly….
