Essentially, when we...

In today’s episode, “Out with Old, In with New,” we study the parable in Matthew 9:14-17 that Jesus taught His disciples (believers/ followers).  Jesus refers to old and new cloth, when patched it can tear. Also, new wine poured into an old wine skin can cause it to burst. We examined commentaries and the sanctification process of a believer.    Was this episode helpful or encouraging? I look forw...

But angels had to fight evil i...

In today’s episode, “Judging People,” we study the parable in Matthew 7:1-5 that Jesus taught His disciples (believers/ followers).  As we notice the failings of another, we’re warned not to criticize, knowing we’re not perfect.

All eight of Karen R Lacy Children’s Book series are packed with adventure and fun, but especially, four emphasize “It Takes a Team!” sometimes to get things accomplished.              In “Tabby and Friends Help,” Tabby initiates the help of her neighbors, such as Bluebird, Lady Bug, Mr. Squirrel… and her friends, Calico and Black Beauty.              “We Rescued Rusty” shares an emergency situati...

In today’s episode, “Light of the World,” we study the parable in Matthew 5:14-16 that Jesus taught His disciples (believers/ followers).  Out of gratitude for God’s mercy and grace through Jesus Christ, He indicates we’re to shine with good deeds, demonstrating our fruit (patience, kindness, love… as in Gal. 5:22-23). Why? So others will get a glimpse of Jesus and want to come to Him, too.  Was t...

In this episode “Lies, Lies, Lies!” Casey shares portions of chapter two in A New Song Rises Up! which is titled, “Are you believing the lies?” Monday episodes are in a progressive series this month.  As she reads, we see how believing those lies of the enemy can detour our lives.

In this episode we find the importance of humbly, with a contrite heart, approaching the Lord saying, “Forgive Me!”   According to scriptures shared, it’s of high importance to forgive others – yes, even those who have used and abused us - as we hope for forgiveness from the Lord. How many times must we extend this forgiveness? Repeatedly, as needed!   Please share your response to this episode. I...

In this episode, “Love of God,” we explore the many facets of God’s love for us as well as His expectations our love toward Him, ourselves, and others.     In Jeremiah 31, we learn of God’s everlasting love toward us.

In this episode, “Faith Walk,” we explore the meaning of faith and how it might look when we put it into action along our faith walk.     To walk in faith may entail the courage to step out for those in need or help, to go along with the dreams and inspiration God gave you, without knowing what the result may be. But faith connects with hope in promises of God.  Was this episode helpful or encoura...

In this episode we talk about the “Grace of God” with definitions so we can understand the magnitude of His grace, as well as see how it works together with mercy and salvation.  Grace is essentially unmerited favor of God toward us, while mercy is when we’re spared from punishment we deserve. To receive salvation, one must receive the grace of God and His mercy through Jesus. Several scriptures w...

In this episode, “Hope for the Future,” we look to scriptures to help understand what hope is and how it connects with our faith in the Lord for the future.    What is hope but a firm belief and trust that good will happen as promised by God in His Word. Is there action on our part relating to that hope? As in 1 Peter1, we’re encouraged to prepare our minds, being steadfast in spirit, maintain sel...

In light of this being Independence Day in the United States, we look at what the Lord had granted. We’re “Free to Choose” to turn to Him or not, life or death, as in Deut.30.  Isn’t it awesome that the Creator of the Universe gave us free will? But with it is the Spiritual Law of Sowing and Reaping. When we turn to God with a contrite heart in faith and accept Jesus, we’re saved. But still, mista...

But also, it covers a variety of hard topics in a way that both teens and adults can relate to. Such as: faith over fear, dealing with negative people and...

Why was Eve so easily “Deceived” by the serpent? He was skilled in lies and manipulation, well able to use her lack of self-control and her prideful hunger for power.   There’s a constant battle within us and surrounding us while the enemy continues to deceive with the intent to steal, kill, and to destroy (John 10:10). But we know the end of that story, Jesus has already overcome (John 16:33). Wh...

Here we explore the life of Samson, the final Judge of Israel (Judges 16) who loved Delilah. But she was a “Bad Influence” on him and instrumental in his downfall.   Delilah was not an Israelite; her culture worshiped idols. She was bribed by the Lords of Philistines to learn the secret of Samson’s strength. She was the ultimate manipulator, constantly finding ways to tempt Samson to lose his self...

Casey believes if not for the familiarity (pattern) of abuse from childhood, and then domestic violence, she would not have allowed herself to suffer from “Toxic Relationships.”      Within the pages of A New Song Rises Up! is more detail of her experiences and what she learned within toxic relationships.
