YOU ARE INVITED TO MY NEW BLOG SITE


THAT'S RIGHT YOU ARE INVITED TO MY NEW BLOG SITE !!!

Due to certain issues that I am experiencing  with this site I have made the decision and have moved my blog to a new location:

"TRYING TO BE A GOOD CHRISTIAN WOMAN"
is now here:
http://www.RLMorgan1951.wordpress.com

The features will essentially be the same, but a few categories won't be included in the move. As the site grows with new and more followers that I couldn't get previously because of these issues, I'll be adding new ones like:

Interviews with nonfiction Christian authors.
A scripture tag "game" [details when it starts].
Giveaways being offered by Christain authors.

I would love for all my followers here to emigrate over to my new site.

Have a MOST BLESSED DAY with whatever you're going to be doing, especially if it involves
our Lord and Savior !!! :-) :-) :-)

DAILY SCRIPTURE REFLECTION #149 - MATTHEW 6:25 [NKJV]


The topic I’ve chosen for today’s scripture reflection concerns us continuing to hold on to our concerns; in other words, anxiety.

“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?”

Have a BLESSED WEEK with whatever you’re going to be doing !!! 😊 😊 😊

Please feel free to leave your comments; I would love to read them, and to have you become a follower of this blog if you’re not one already.

NONFICTION BOOK REVIEW #2020-064 - Woman Thou Art VICTORIOUS


FOUR AMAZING GRACE TESTIMONIES

Every Christian woman shares in the sisterhood they belong to, whether or not they know. Each time a Christian woman’s “sister” gives testimony of what they’ve endured and have ultimately found themselves being victorious over the situation they’d been in, Christian women will find it hard not wanting to join her sister in singing Amazing Grace.

In each of the four short, but empowering stories, the authors: Kendra Sikes, Brandi Jo Middleton, Carol Matthews, and Delilah Lilo Mukes, relate the personal accounts of what they had to endure and how through the grace of the Lord and their faith. These four authors managed to find themselves forever rid of their strife and VICTORIOUS regarding the rest of their lives as the faithful Christian women they are.

There are things which these four courageous authors have written about that many other Christian women can relate to since they might have experienced the same things, but luckily to a far lesser extent.

For wanting their readers to find the same sort of grit and determination they’d found as they overcome the trials and tribulations, they’re facing in their lives. And for wanting this, being the voracious reviewer of nonfiction Christian books I’ve become, I’ve given these four authors 5 STARS for their endeavor here.

DAILY SCRIPTURE REFLECTION #148 - JOHN 4:23 [NKJV]


Before I begin my Sunday substitute Christian religious service for today, there are two things I need to say.

First and foremost is that I need to ask for foregiveness from each of you who follow my daily scripture reflections, for not having posted any for the past two days. I feel the best way for me to start is to turn to the scriptures and offer everyone what we read in the second half of MARK 14:38 and MATTHEW 14:38 [NKJV]

“…The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Ever since the COVID-19 virus began taking hold of our daily lives I’ve been helping out in my community any way I could without putting myself in harm's way. Then I’ve got all my other Christian activities [reading/reviewing nonfiction Christian books, maintain my Christian blog – “Trying to Be a Good Christian Woman,” running my Facebook group for my Christian “sisters”]. While the desire to keep doing everything, as usual, had been strong, I’ve become just too tired to continue going and need some good old rest time.

The second thing I need to say is that with our favorite houses of worship finally beginning to reopen, this might be the final week I’ll be offering this substitute service [besides I’ve never gotten any feedback from those participating as to how they felt regarding my efforts in providing this much-needed service.

Now, the topic I’ve chosen for this week’s Christian service scripture reflection on my Christian blog asks the question of whether or not we’re worshipping our Lord in spirit and in truth.

“But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.”

Have a BLESSED SUNDAY praying together with your families in the safety of your homes !!! 😊 😊 😊

THIS SUNDAY'S SUPPLICATION TO THE LORD #25


Christians, especially those who are believers, should be praising the Lord each day by offering a prayer regardless of how brief it might be. With the harried lives we’re living, it’s not always that easy to formulate one, and many might be homebound for one reason or another.  This is especially true now with the COVID-19 virus preventing us from going to church, which why I’ve decided to offer a weekly supplication on Sundays designed to suffice this need. If anyone desires to leave a comment regarding the prayer offering for today, please feel free to do so.

“Praised be thy name forever, our King, great and holy God and King, in heaven and on earth; for to thee, Lord our God, pertain song and praise, hymn and psalm, power and dominion, victory, greatness and might, renown and glory, holiness and kingship, blessing and thanks, henceforth and forever. Blessed art thou, O Lord, most exalted God and King, Lord of wonders, who art pleased with hymns, thou God and King, life of the universe.”

And with this, let us all answer, AMEN

SUNDAY SONG/HYMN #21 - GIVE THANKS


There are several parts to every Church service individuals play witness to or participate in every week. There’s always the obligatory sermon given by the leader of that church’s congregation; there’s the communal reading aloud of scripture, and finally, there’s the what I feel is the most inspirational part of any Christian service, which is the congregation singing of a hymn or hymns.

Since the singing of a hymn is a captivating part of any service, I’ve decided to post one each Sunday. So you, my blog followers, can sing along with it in the privacy of your homes. If you’re not familiar with it, then just sit back and listen to the beauty of its words on this YouTube video, especially these days, with the COVID-19 virus preventing you from doing this in our favorite church.

For my offering for this week is “Give Thanks” sung by Janella Salvador.


I hope you’ll enjoy listening to it or singing along with it if you know the words.

AMEN

NONFICTION BOOK REVIEW #2020-063 - The Faith Walk


BE ABLE TO WALK IN THE GARDEN IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD

In all honesty, what Christian doesn’t want to receive the promises of our Lord. I believe that a significant problem that exists in their not seeing this happening stems from their being a sort of a doubting Thomas. For us to understand this notion, we need to remember that Thomas had been a skeptic who had refused to believe that Jesus had resurrected himself when he had appeared to the other ten apostles. Thomas needed to see and feel the wounds that our Lord had received being on the cross to believe what he saw.

There are too many Christians who seem to be having a problem regarding their relationship with the Lord. They seem to desire to see something tangible first. When instead, they need to follow the scriptures as to what to do.

For these Christian to achieve their improved relationship with the Lord need to follow the instructions written in 2 CORINTHIANS 5:7 [NKJV]:

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.”

They need to remember that all things are possible if you possess faith. And if you need a little proof regarding this, then read MATTHEW 21:21 [NKJV]:

“So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done.”

What the author, Lucretia Gargill, is attempting to do through the pages of her book is to motivate and stimulate her readers to live their lives by walking by faith and not by sight to receive the promises of God.

Hopefully, by following Ms. Gargill’s advice, her readers will achieve their improve their relationship with the Lord and possess the ability to walk in the garden. The garden that I’m referring to is the one mentioned in the song by Merle Haggard:

And he walks with me and he talks with me
And he tells me I am his own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known.

For wanting to improve her reader’s relationship with the Lord, being the voracious reviewer of nonfiction books that I am, I’m happy to give Ms. Gargill 5 STARS for her endeavor here.
