Tune in any time of the day to Faith Music Radio for uplifting Christian music and talk. 

Here is today's podcast in blog post form. :)



Today, I would like to share a story from the early years of our ministry...

My husband being a pastor for a year now...one of the burdens...is the finances of the church. In the one year of our church, we went from the small conference room at the Hampton Inn for $90.00 a week to now having a permanent building to call home for $1,624.89. (LOL! I do the bill paying so I know. :) A big jump. A large step. A big undertaking for our small congregation of believers.

Finances will make or break most anything...marriages...businesses...and churches. So in being the wife of the pastor, I share that burden with my husband.

I wouldn't say we necessarily worry. But it stays on our mind a lot. :)

Yesterday morning, I read this verse in II Chronicles 25:9... "And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The Lord is able to give thee much more than this."

Yes, he surely is. I am grateful for everyone person that is faithful to the Lord and tithes...they give back to God simply what is His.

As I look at the tithe that my husband and I give each week in the church offering...I can ask God..."What will you do with the $100 that I have given to Sierra View Baptist Church?"

And the Lord answers me..."I am able to give thee much more than this."

Yes, the Lord will take care of Sierra View Baptist Church...His church.
And for that reason, there is no worry. :)

Today's challenge is:  What do you have that God is asking YOU to give?  Step out on faith and you will hear..."I am able to give thee much more than this."
Will you take the challenge?

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
