Sing, o barren! “He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the Lord!” (Ps 113:9) Abraham’s wife Sarai was barren . (Gen 11:30) But Abraham believed God. Then in God’s timing, Isaac, the child of promise was born in their old age. Isaac’s wife Rebekah was barren. (Gen 25:21) But Isaac pleaded with the Lord and she [...]

INTRODUCTION When I was a baby Christian, a Bible teacher was inquiring which books we would like to study. I chimed in, “Isaiah!” His comment, however, was in the negative, saying it was a lot of dry history and judgments. That was certainly not my take on the prophet. Even as young in the Lord as I [...]

My precious granddaughter’s name is “Hephzibah”. It’s a beautiful name but it isn’t simple and it isn’t convenient. When people first hear it, they want it re-pronounced, spelt, and explained. But the meaning is lovely: “my delight is in her”. Would every child know that their parents delight in them! God placed this name in [...]

Jesus said ….”rejoice because your names are written in heaven.” HalleluYAH! My name, my children’s names, my friends’ names, are written in heaven! But they are only written in heaven because they are engraved on the palms of His hands (Isa 49:16) and that by cruel nails. HalleluYAH! What a Savior!

(Lamentations 2:19) LET THE CHILDREN There is a sinister, ugly spirit, a [...]

I’ll kick off my Biblefox blog with a topic that’s been on my mind a lot recently. The lovely topic of…singleness. Ah…singleness… Yes, for those of you who don’t know me, I am single. And throughout the past 5 years or so, I’ve been on a roller coaster regarding this part of my life. Sometimes [...]

While Blanca is posting all sorts of information on the countries we will be visiting or pertinent information like finally getting our flights booked, the blogs I have been composing in my head all seem to fall under the category of the Liz Embarrassment Hour. For some reason, I can’t seem to write without sharing [...]

Carolyn Anne Venable wrote a new blog post: Seven Churches Chart 3 years, 6 months ago · View
I love charts because it helps me to see the big picture in a glance. Years ago, I made a chart of the various characteristics of each Church as described in Revelation 2-3. Unfortunately, that style chart doesn’t fit into this blog format so I’ve revamped it somewhat. Because the Lord admonishes us to “hear what the Spirit says [...]
