God is On Our Side

Last updated on: January 8, 2024 at 5:55 pm By Queen E. Franks Phillips

Key Scripture What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? This post is personal, but hopefully, it will inspire you, and remind you that God is on our side. Romans 8:31-32 NKJV My Personal Reality of God’s Word Oh, how I love... Read more

Why I Revisited God’s Perfect Timing

Last updated on: November 29, 2023 at 3:55 pm By Queen E. Franks Phillips

0 Comments

Introduction I heard my elders say, “God’s an on-time God.” I did not understand what they meant until many years laters. It was not until my personal experiences with God’s timing that I could make this same definitive declaration. And now that we are still in a global crisis that began with a pandemic caused by coronavirus, it is an opportune time to be encouraged by revisiting biblical accounts of God’s timing. Using biblical examples, we have accounts of God’s... Read more

Introduction Disappointments are a part of this life! They impact you physically, emotionally, and spiritually. They slither into your thoughts and overpower you to the extent that your mental ability becomes impaired. You relive the details of the experience. Failures, frustrations, setbacks, and letdowns influence you subconsciously, although you try to go through your normal daily routine. You cannot function like you normally would if you had not experienced heartbreak. When your disappointments consume your thoughts, you risk becoming a... Read more

The struggles, challenges and trials in life have a way of making you feel there is no end to the tunnel. Transitioning from one place to another can be like a wilderness journey. Frustration is like a blanket of darkness covering you so there is no sign of a light. What do you do? An onslaught of questions keep coming, but you have no answers.

Why You Should Analyze Spiritual Gains and Material Losses

Last updated on: July 24, 2023 at 1:01 am By Queen E. Franks Phillips

0 Comments

I have learned that focusing more on our losses in the past will cause us to lose sight of spiritual gains that are purposed to replace those losses in the future. Gains and losses are part of life. I believe that when practicing Christians lose, God has a plan and way of restoring or replacing what we lost with something better and more valuable. Usually, it requires an attitude change on our part before we can even attempt to... Read more

Learning from Nehemiah’s Strategy to Overcome Opposition

Last updated on: June 20, 2023 at 10:23 am By Queen E. Franks Phillips

Facing opposition should be expected in various leadership roles and responsibilities. Everyone will not agree with executive decisions, policies, and procedures. However, when Christian leaders face opposition, especially within their organizations, a moral code of conduct should matter. What happens when it doesn’t matter? How should Christian leaders respond when there is an attack against kingdom projects and programs ordained by God? We can learn how to deal with opposition from Nehemiah. When he asked about the situation in Jerusalem,... Read more
