The Gospel of Peace–Holy Boots

Last updated on: January 10, 2024 at 2:05 pm By Beverly R. Green

The Full Armor, Including Our Holy Boots Ephesians 6:10-17 tells us to “be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the... Read more

Don’t Forget the Toilet Paper

Last updated on: January 5, 2024 at 11:23 am By Beverly R. Green

I Admit It–It’s My Fault In my home, I usually do the shopping. I go faithfully every week, and because at my house we love to cook and we love to eat, I usually end up with a pretty full cart at the check-out. I don’t do a bad job, really, but there is one thing I can never seem to remember—toilet paper! I always forget the toilet paper! And believe me, this is not something that goes unnoticed! One...

Just A Little Holiday Nostalgia

Last updated on: December 29, 2023 at 3:40 pm By Beverly R. Green

Just a Little Holiday Nostalgia This time of year makes me nostalgic. I think I’m not alone in this. Christmas is one of those times that brings back memories of childhood, family celebrations, friends’ antics, church meetings. New Years, too, sends our hearts on backward journeys, because it’s hard to move forward without glancing behind, whatever that looks like. The Holidays seem to be a ticket to the days of youth and a longing for days gone by–just a little... Read more

Those Cookies Your Grandmother Used To Bake

Last updated on: December 24, 2023 at 7:34 am By Beverly R. Green

Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him (Psalm 127:3-5). Traditions Your Grandmother Used To Bake One of the most enduring traditions in my family is the baking of Christmas cookies. Every branch of the family tree on both sides had their favorites. They would appear every year without fail. Today I am going to begin baking. I’m a little late, but I wouldn’t dream of letting my children and grandchildren down … or my husband... Read more

Not All Christmas Gifts Are Under a Tree

Last updated on: December 21, 2023 at 4:50 pm By Beverly R. Green

Christmas Eve 1969: Most of the day had gone as expected. Grandma had homemade sauce bubbling on the stove before noon. Gnocchi were mixed, rolled, cut, and “tucked in,” as Grandma called it–one of the tasks I got to help with in the kitchen. The pot was already filled with the water in which they would cook. Fresh bread wrapped in a towel rested on the countertop near the warm stove. In the fridge, iceberg lettuce was torn (not... Read more

Disclaimer This is hard to write. I suppose it is a confession, of sort. I ask pardon in advance from anyone I may offend—no offense is intended. Please grant me grace. This is a difficult Christmas memory: A Difficult Christmas Memory One evening, more than a decade ago as Christmas was approaching, I was racing into Walmart to grab a few last-minute items. As I neared the entrance, I noticed a man in a wheelchair almost blocking my... Read more

One Holy Night: an Original Script For a Quick and Easy But Effective Performance

An Original Script For a Quick and Easy But Effective Performance It’s late in the season, and if you need a Christmas skit, you have probably already found one. However, I would like to share the one we did this year–“One Holy Night,” an original script for a quick and easy but effective performance. It is perfect for performance by a small group with a limited budget, and it requires limited staging. If you need something to fit into a... Read more

The Silent Night Gospel

Last updated on: December 6, 2023 at 2:32 pm By Beverly R. Green

The Value of Silence I have heard it said, “If you want to get someone’s attention–whisper.” I have also heard St. Francis of Assisi quoted thus: “Preach the gospel at all times, and if necessary, use words.” Ecclesiastes 3:7B says that there is a “time to keep silence and a time to speak,” and in Psalm 46:10 “He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God.’” There obviously is value in the silent. When coupled with the holy,... Read more

9 Skillet Lyrics That Epitomize The Band’s Christian Faith

Last updated on: December 4, 2023 at 8:26 am By Beverly R. Green

Skillet, The Band Many groups are claiming to be part of the Christian music scene. Some are traditional while others are quite outside the box. The “outside-the-boxers” often come under the heavy fist of traditional pastors and parents who hear the sound, but not the words. I suggest not judging the cover without reading the book. Here are 9 lyrics (although there are many more) from the band Skillet that epitomize their Christian faith. First, may I offer an introduction:... Read more

What’s in a Name? The Power of Naming Your Fears

Last updated on: December 1, 2023 at 7:33 pm By Beverly R. Green

Naming Fred I am an amateur, but very enthusiastic, and pretty successful gardener. It is an absolute thrill when spring comes around and little green sprouts of poppies, gladiolas, and multi-colored lilies begin to pierce the surface of the soil. Sometimes, the sprouts are more red, like the peonies. Sometimes they’re pale yellow. Whatever the color, they are the harbingers of hope for a new, fresh season of growth and beauty. It’s not a time when one might think... Read more
