I Choose Today to Go!

Molinda Hern December 26, 2023

”Gideon replied, “With me, my master? If God is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all the miracle-wonders our parents and grandparents told us about, telling us, ‘Didn’t God deliver us from Egypt?’ The fact is, God has nothing to do with us—He has turned us over to Midian.” But God faced Him directly: “Go in this strength that is yours. Save Israel from Midian. Haven’t I just sent you?”“ Judges‬ ‭6‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭MSG‬‬ This scripture is perfect for me right now because God has called me to “Go,” just like He did Gideon. It may not be to save a nation, but it is to encourage, comfort, empower others. In obeying God, there is no telling what He is up to! I have been through a lot in my life. Many opportunities to ask God “Where are You?” Many times I had to walk through and experience pain, despair, fear, trauma. Why would a loving God allow these things to happen; allow me to experience all those horrific times? How can He possibly use them for good? I don’t know the extent to those questions, but I can trust God and know He will do

I Choose Today to take on the persona of Christ

Molinda Hern December 23, 2023

We live in a society who has a social media persona; one that we want others to see, admire, emulate, and dare I say envy. We get so caught up in who we are or competing with and envying others, that we lose our true selves. Or worse, we hide our true selves. I mentor a group of Moms once a month. During our last meeting, a mom said she sees all the bad things she does, bad thoughts she has, and does not see any good in herself. She was believing a lie about who she was in Christ; a child of the King! She was looking at herself through the world’s eyes, through Satan’s lies, and not the reality of her royalty. I reminded her of how God sees her; through the lense of Christ: His sacrifice, His perfection, His mercy, His grace, His love, His salvation. God had to teach me these things because I didn’t hear them while growing up. I heard that I was dumb, stupid, and would never amount to anything. I learned I was invisible; not worth the time. But God… so loved me. God saw me. God showed me I was worth

remembering Dad

Larry George December 22, 2023

Good morning my friend. Yesterday  my dad would have been 90 years old. Its hard to believe that he has been gone for 23 years. Dad was my age (67) when he went home to be with the Lord. I am so honored for all the things he taught me and how much he loved his family.He was so proud of his children and what they did. I once heard that the older we get the wiser our parents become. Proverbs 22:6 ” Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.(NKJV) I also like “Direct your children onto the right path, and when he is older , they will not leave it.” (NLT) John MacArthur  says in his Study Bible notes. “Way he should go. ” There is only one right way, God’s way, the way of life. That way is specified in great detail in Proverbs.  Earily training secures lifelong habits. Teaching God’s word and enforcing it loving discipline consistently. If we continue to follow this through out our lives as parents and then grandparents. allowing the  Holy Spirit to do the work in us. Our

I Choose Today to share the gift of light!

Molinda Hern December 21, 2023

”Then God said, “Let there be light.” The Light changed everything; absolutely everything! Every night I get up a couple of times and make my way to where I need to go. It is really dark because we live in a place where there are no streetlights or city lights to light up the room. So to keep me from stumbling as I walk around at night, I use the tiny light that is illuminated on our robot vacuum housed in the hall right outside our door. That little light, shines brightly in the darkness and makes all the difference in the world; just like the true Light made all the difference in the world when He came and to this very day! From the beginning of time, Jesus has been the true Light: ”In the beginning the Word [Jesus] already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and His life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.“ John‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬, ‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭NLT‬‬. Isaiah tells us why the Light makes a difference for the world when he proclaimed,

the “right time” is now

Larry George December 20, 2023

Good morning my friends. I was reading in 2 Corinthians 6:1-2, “As God’s partners, we beg you not to accept this marvelous gift of God’s kindness and then ignore it. For God says, ‘At the right time I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.’” Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation. What are we waiting for? I appreciate so much all the opportunities the Lord has given me over the years to be known as a believer in Christ.  Yet I have let the Lord down numerous times when I put all my effort into stuff, buildings and thought I was doing the right thing. I remember one time, I had just returned from a meeting in town with one of my friends, Tom Coble. We had been discussing a new building project here at Siloam Missionary Homes. I was so excited as I drove onto the property – I could see the project finished in my mind. Yet, I was tired. Driving to the bottom of the hill on the Siloam property, I was stopped by Joyce’s father, Mr. Abbey.  He had worked all day on the books in the
