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…

Jesus, Man of Joy – A Trip Down Memory Lane

March 14, 2017 Margaret Blog, Christianity, Devotional, Faith, Jesus Christ, Uncategorized

The year was 1993. In downtown Minneapolis, in a theater lobby, Jesus showed me His favor. My friend and I had arrived early at the theater for a concert. A third friend was to meet us there; she had the tickets. The concert featured Michael Card and Fernando Ortega, my favorite Christian music artists. My…

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…

In A Garden – The Love Story of Resurrection Day

March 27, 2016 Margaret Christianity, Devotional, Faith, Jesus Christ, Jewish Messiah, Uncategorized

Jesus is Risen “It is true!” Luke 24:34 Death could not hold onto Life any more than the grave could hold onto Jesus. At dawn in a garden cemetery, Life swallowed Death once and for all. “I am the Resurrection and the Life,” Jesus had once said. Now He proved. An angel rolled back the…

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…
