Feeling overlooked?

 


 

 

feel overlooked?

hey hey,

I hope you are having a great week! Every Wednesday this month, I am sharing “A Word, A Song and A Laugh” by sending you this blog with a short podcast to encourage you. Today, I pray you are reminded of how much God loves you — you are not overlooked by Him!

 

A WORD

 

My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.

Luke 15:31

 

Everyone loves the Prodigal Son and the amazing story of the Father’s unconditional love and forgiveness…but what about the “other brother”?

 

What about the older brother who had been faithfully serving his father, but felt overlooked, hidden and unappreciated.

 

What is the Father’s heart toward faithful Christians who feel overlooked?

Dealing with obstructions...

 


 

 

block the blocker …

hey hey,

In today’s blog, I am sharing “A Word, A Song and A Laugh” around the idea of removing any obstacle trying to block God’s plan! From time-to-time, when the Lord puts a specific topic in my heart, I like to record short messages to encourage you — so, I pray today’s blog and short podcast does that for you!

 

A WORD

 

“Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”

Luke 10:19

 

Do you sometimes feel as if there have been unexplainable blockages or obstructions trying to halt God’s plan in your life? Ever faced an unusual resistance? Unreasonable delays?

 

You’ve done everything you know to do, but still there seems to be a blockage? You’ve prayed. Cried. Repented. Apologized. Worshipped. Fasted. Anointed with oil. Labored. Believed. But … nothing. Nada!

 

What’s behind the blockage? Could it be spiritual?

 

What do you do now?

 

Give this 7-minute podcast a listen to get a fresh perspective. Just click the box below

 

A SONG


Weapons of our Warfare - Rhema Singers and Band - a classic oldies and still just as powerful as ever!

 

I Speak Jesus - Charity Gayle - sooo good - put it on repeat and sing it!

 

Authority - Elevation Worship - good reminder!

 

 

Sing out the authority Jesus has given to us!

peace, love and blessings,

I'm frustrated ... help!

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

 

 

 

pray it out …

hey hey,

Are you feeling frustrated? Disappointed? Impatient? Don’t know what to do? In today’s blog, I have good news for you. I pray you are encouraged with “A Word, A Song and A Laugh.”

 

A WORD

 

“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Romans 8:26-28

 

Today, I want to share this “Basic Thought” podcast I recorded in my car a few weeks ago.

 

How do we pray when we are frustrated, disappointed or at a loss on what to do? How do we pray when we have a “weakness” — an inability to get results? The good news is -- there is a way to pray to get results according to God’s perfect will.

 

We can "pray it out!"

 

I describe these feelings of "frustration or weakness" within us like having a “ball of yarn” on the inside that creates angst. (This ball of yarn is a metaphor for our frustration, disappointment and feelings of helplessness.) So, what can we do with the ball of yarn? Rather than being passive and allowing the frustrating ball of yarn to stay within us and thus, feel discouraged -- we can use all of that internal frustration energy and turn it into prayer.

 

We can pray out the ball of yarn and get that bundle of frustration, disappointment and helplessness into God’s hands (or, to stay with the analogy, get it into His knitting needles!) He will then cause all things to work together for you good!

 

For all of this to make sense, I encourage you to click the title below and listen to this message:

 

A SONG

 

My Prayer for You - Alisa Turner - a new song to me, but so good!

 

Like Incense - Hillsong - an oldie, but one of my fav prayer declaration songs

 

Hear Our Prayer - Hillsong - an oldie, one of my go-to’s in times of prayer!

 

 

Be encouraged, there is hope in a time of frustration and discouragement.

peace, love and blessings,

Why the cross?

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

 

 

 

a free gift for you!

hey hey,

As Good Friday and Easter Sunday approaches, I wanted to remind you of how much God loves you! God’s love was manifested and demonstrated toward us through Jesus and His death on the cross.

 

 

A WORD

 

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,

that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16

 

We are sending you the entire audio version of my book, “Why the Gory, Bloody Details” — to encourage you with a full understanding of the passion and the cross. I pray you sense the Lord reviving your heart in His love as you listen to this audio book. Click the box below…

 

 

A SONG:

 

Each week, I like to share an eclectic mix of new songs and oldies that emphasize our blog theme and that touch our hearts - enjoy! Here are a few bonus songs to celebrate Easter!

 

At the Cross by Darlene Zschech - from one of the best worship leaders of all time - this song is so anointed, so get alone and let the Lord minister to your heart with His love!

 

Thank You Jesus for the Blood by Charity Gayle - put it on repeat!

 

Mighty to Save by Hillsong - a classic and so good.

 

Ain’t No Grave by Bethel Music - here’s a bonus song to fire you up for Easter Sunday!

 

He’s Alive by Don Francisco - a legendary song - I heard this 1980 song when I was a new Christian and it’s impact still touches my heart.

 

Easter Song by Keith Green - he was a world-changing song writer and singer in the 70’s and his music shaped a generation of believers — like me! He was tragically killed in an airplane crash when he was 28 years old - his music lives on.

 

 

May you experience Jesus and His love in a fresh way this Easter week!

peace, love and blessings,

Now what?

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

 

 

 

now what?

hey hey,

I hope you are enjoying our new 2023 blog format! Today, I want to share “a Word, a Song and a Laugh” by talking about Vision and I want to inspire and encourage you to prayerfully develop your "vision board" for the future!

 

Today’s blog will be a little longer than usual … so buckle up and enjoy.

 

 

A WORD

 

“And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision and engrave it so plainly upon tablets that everyone who passes may [be able to] read [it easily and quickly] as he hastens by.” Habakkuk 2:2, AMPC

 

What vision has God given you for your future? Have you written it down?

 

There is something about creating a “vision board” in such a way that you can actually see it, envision it, remember it and run with it!

 

Over the years we have created various pictorial vision boards for our lives as the Lord has put His vision in our hearts and the crazy thing is: everything we’ve put on our vision boards — whether hand drawn stick figures or magazine pics we’ve glued to foam core — has always come to pass in one way or another!

 

As we look ahead to the new season we are in, we have been seeking the Lord and prayerfully creating new vision boards for our future.

 

For us, it’s been exactly 2 months … 60 days … since we passed the Valley Family Church Lead Pastor baton to our son and daughter-in-law … and more than once we’ve been asked the three questions below — and the answers to these three questions have helped us shape our vision boards for the future…

 

Did you guys retire?

Are you living in Florida?

What are you guys doing now?

 

Our “vision boards” (which we have created in the form of photo grids) answers these questions perfectly, so we thought it might be helpful to share them with you in the hope that you are inspired to create your own vision boards in the way that best suits you.

 

So, here goes…

 

OUR VISION

 

Question #1: Did you guys retire? 

 

We did not fully “retire” — we “transitioned.” After planting and pastoring Valley Family Church for the past 32 years, we passed the Lead Pastor baton to Eric and Alexa Jones, our son and daughter-in-law on January 29, 2023. (They are the church are doing exceptionally well and we couldn’t be more pleased!!) We have transitioned into our role as the Founding Pastors to guide, mentor and support VFC’s future. In addition, we are still taking the gospel basics to the world as the Lord leads us via books, podcasts, online courses, etc. Here’s what we see in this season:

 

 

>> As Founding Pastors, we see our role includes:

 

-cherishing the past.

 

-remaining on the VFC Board to help lead and guide VFC’s future developments.

 

-championing the next generation.

 

-providing legal and financial guidance.

 

-offering oversight and pastoral insights for Eric and Alexa Jones.

 

-maintaining an office at VFC.

 

-teaching at VFC in-person and virtually throughout the year.

 

 

>> As it relates to other ministry endeavors, we see ourselves:

 

-sharing the good news of the gospel wherever we are.

 

-serving the Lord together in new ways.

 

-going where the Lord leads us.

 

-speaking where the doors open.

 

-writing what the Lord put in our hearts.

 

-teaching the Bible basics via books, podcasts and video through The Basics With Beth outreach.

 

 

So … you can see we did NOT retire, but our 32-year Mach speed pace as the "Founding Senior Pastors" has slowed down a tad to a fun new speed as "Founding Pastors." The photo grids below are the "vision boards" we are running with these days …

 

 

Question #2: Are you living in Florida or Michigan? 

 

Both! We are splitting our time between Florida and Michigan. We sold our dream house on a beautiful lake in Michigan and bought a small cottage on another lake in Michigan and we built a home in Florida. This allows us to split our time between Michigan and Florida and enjoy family and friends in both USA peninsulas! This pictorial vision grid will help you see what see, and I hope inspire your vision for where you “see” yourself living.

 

 

Question #3: What does your future look like?

 

Our future looks like Ecclesiastes 3:12-13 — it’s a fun “eat, drink, enjoy the fruit of our labors … gift from God” season! We are loving the extra time we have to spend with the Lord, to stay active and golf, see old friends, meet new friends while making new memories with our family, grandkids and the people we love. We are excited about new, creative, faith-adventures and we are expecting the best and brightest days ahead. By God’s grace, we plan to enjoy our relationship with Jesus and live a long, satisfied life and we look forward to finishing our race with joy.

 

What about you? What do you see? I hope you will make some vision board grids of what you see. Here are the “vision boards” we see for our future…

 

 

 

A SONG

 

Today, I have one song for you - but in several eclectic versions. Be Thou My Vision is a beautiful classic Irish hymn. I first heard this song when I was a fresh college grad and in the choir at church (yes, I was in a choir for about 2 months, anyone else??!) We sang this song and I loved it, but I didn’t have a vision to stay in the choir! (wink!) Still it’s such a great song about keeping Jesus as the object of our vision. Enjoy!

 

Be Thou My Vision, by The Petersons

Call it as though!

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

 

 

 

call it as though!

hey hey,

I want to stir up your faith today! God has given us incredible power, promises and provisions - let's not be negligent - let's use them! I pray you are encouraged today by “a Word, a Song and a Laugh!”

 

 

A Word: "Therefore, [inheriting] the promise is the outcome of faith and depends [entirely] on faith, in order that it might be given as an act of grace (unmerited favor), to make it stable and valid and guaranteed to all his descendants—not only to the devotees and adherents of the Law, but also to those who share the faith of Abraham, who is [thus] the father of us all. As it is written, I have made you the father of many nations. [He was appointed our father] in the sight of God in Whom he believed, Who gives life to the dead and speaks of the nonexistent things that [He has foretold and promised] as if they [already] existed.” Romans 4:16-17, AMPC

 

I like the way the New King James Bible puts verse 17, “…God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did…”

 

To imitate God (Eph 4:1) and to walk in the type of faith that pleases Him, we are to call those things that do not exist as though they did! We are to speak of nonexistent things that God has promised as if they already existed!

 

What has God promised you? What doesn’t exist in the natural quite yet?

 

Speak of those things that don’t exist as if they do! (Note: we are not speaking of things that do exist as though they don’t - that’s denial, not faith.) We call things that are not as though they were! Are you speaking of these things as if they already existed? Are you calling things which do not exist as thought they did? You should! Today.

 

It might sound like this:

 

I call my family blessed and mightily used of God.

 

I call my body healed, strong and full of energy.

 

I call my brain, my bones, my nerves, my muscles, my digestive system, my reproductive system … (and whatever parts of your body you want to speak of) — I call you normal, strong, healthy, energized and fruitful!

 

I call my kids successful, loving, influential and kind.

 

I call my investments prosperous and multiplying.

 

I call my grandkids blessed and protected.

 

I call my products sold.

 

I call my business, my ministry, my life surrounded with favor.

 

I call my future bright and getting brighter every day!

 

I call my life long and satisfied.

 

Get the idea? Start calling things “as though!”

 

 

A Song: Today, I have one song for you! Put it on repeat and pray/sing it over your life and those you care about.

 

In Jesus Name (God of Possible), by Katy Nichole - sing it, speak it, say it, declare it! I’m speaking this over each one of you today!!

peace, love and blessings,

Fear is not your future!

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

 

 

 

fear is not your future!

hey hey,

God has new horizons for you!! Be encouraged today by “a Word, a Song and a Laugh!”

 

A Word: “But the path of the just is like the shining sun,
That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.” Proverbs 4:18

 

Did you know that better days, brighter days, blessed days are your future? No matter how difficult the current season may be, God has promised better days for you! And of course…the ultimate future ahead for all of us is our eternal destination in heaven, so for sure — our future is BRIGHT!!

 

The past several years has certainly been used by the enemy to put a damper on our spirits — but there is a Jesus-revolution happening around the world and God is renewing our hopes, dreams and vision for His bright future!!

 

Today, why not make the choice to believe it: better days are ahead!! Your best days are yet to come! There is light at the end of the tunnel. Fear is not your future.

 

Say hello to: peace, joy, love, hope, strength. Say goodbye to: shame, fear, anxiety and depression.

 

A Song: Today, let these songs minister to your heart and stir up fresh vision for new horizons within you.

 

Fear is Not My Future, by Maverick City - we heard this song a few weekends ago when we spoke at a Faith Family Church in Houston and both my husband Jeff and I fell in love with it. One day later my cousin Deb Boyd sent me the link as it had become her new favorite song! Since then ,we’ve had it on repeat in our home!

 

Brighter Days, by Blessing Offor - our friend Carolann Davis turned us on to this worship artist and I love his fresh sound and words of faith.

 

Future, by River Valley Worship - I stumbled on this song and I love it!!

peace, love and blessings,

 

A Laugh: Anyone else? :)++

 

P.S. Today, we saw the movie: Jesus Revolution — the revival that started among the hippies of the 60’s … and WOW!! I highly recommend you do whatever you can do to go see it!! I got saved in the early 80’s and was blessed to be on the tail-end of the Jesus revolution — I am eternally grateful those revival waves kept splashing for decades to sweep and my entire family up into a relationship with Jesus. I believe a fresh Jesus Revolution is happening now around the world and I love seeing Gen Z and other young people embracing Jesus, prayer, worship and the Word. The best is yet to come!!

How good is God?

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

 

 

 

how good is God?

hey hey,

I hope you are having a great week!

 

Today, I want to encourage you with a Word, a Song and a Laugh on the all-important topic of: The Goodness of God!

 

Soak it up!

 

A Word: “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Psalm 23:6

 

Perhaps, like me, you grew up with the idea that God was an ogre. A mean judge. Ready to bop you the minute you made a mistake. Or maybe you thought God was a critic of your every move and you couldn’t do anything right!

 

It’s possible you don’t know how good God is because you think He’s responsible for all the bad things that happen. Or maybe you think God “so loved the world” but you are not sure He loves, nor is pleased with, you.

 

Unfortunately, many pulpit messages reinforce these notions.

 

You will be happy to know (and reminded) that God is NONE of those things!

 

-He’s not an ogre - He’s kind and full of compassion. (Psalm 145:8-9)

 

-He’s not a mean judge - He’s rich in mercy. (Ephesians 2:4)


-He’s not ready to bop you - Jesus took the “bopping” our sins deserved on the cross. (Isaiah 53:5)

 

-He’s not a critic - He didn’t come to condemn but to save! (John 3:17)


-He’s not doing bad things - He wants you to taste and see that He is good! (Psalm 34:8)


-He doesn’t just love “the world” - He loves you. (John 17:23)


-He’s not disappointed in you - because you are in Jesus, you are His beloved and He is pleased with you! (Mark 1:11)

 

-He’s not withholding anything from you - it’s His good pleasure to give you the kingdom! (Psalm 84:11)

 

Once you exchange the “God isn’t good” lens with the biblical “God is good all the time” lens — you will see and experience the Lord in a whole new light! (Not only that, you’ll want to be more like Him in extending His goodness to those around you.)

 

Put your “God is good” glasses on by declaring: “Father, You are good. Always good. Always giving. Always loving. Always kind. Always patient. Always understanding. Always generous. Always rich in mercy and full of grace. Thank You that You are good to me!”

 

A Song: To help you experience God's goodness, let these songs fill your heart like warm honey!

 

Goodness of God, by Jenn Johnson - this song got me from the first line, “all my life You have been faithful…” and the rest of the song is equally moving. Enjoy!

 

God is Good, by Francesca Battistelli - this is an honest song about the ups and downs of life, the hopes deferred, the bitter and sweet parts of life - but in the end, God is good! It’s a very encouraging song.

 

How Good of God, by Matthew West - this is a happy song and oh so true! My heart can’t help but sing!

peace, love and blessings,

 

A Laugh: God is always good… us, not so much! :) #unhingedbehavior

Why so serious?

*|MC:SUBJECT|*

 

 

 

why so serious?

hey hey,

I hope you are having a good February and I hope you are enjoying this new “short and snappy” blog where we focus on one nugget of truth with “a Word, a Song and a Laugh.”

 

I know that as you read the blog each week, you will be encouraged as you look up the Scriptures, listen to the songs and have a chuckle!

 

Today, let’s talk about a serious topic: Why so serious?

 

A Word: “...for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit." 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, NLT

 

Have you ever noticed that while topics like: the Bible, heaven, hell, eternal matters and the like are “serious” things, God is not an uptight stick-in-the-mud, but rather His whole atmosphere and kingdom is one of: JOY! Is it time for you to lighten up, un-wrinkle your face and live in the joy of the Lord?

 

Joy belongs to you!

 

Think about it.

 

Joy in the Beginning: Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me, if you know so much. Who determined its dimensions and stretched out the surveying line? What supports its foundations, and who laid its cornerstone as the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?” Job 38:4-7, NLT

 

Joy at Jesus Birth: Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. They were terrified, but the angel reassured them. ‘Don’t be afraid!” he said. ‘I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people.’ ” Luke 2:9-10, NLT

 

Joy Before the Cross: “… Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.” Hebrews 12:2, NLT

 

Joy After the Cross: So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy. At that time you won’t need to ask me for anything. I tell you the truth, you will ask the Father directly, and he will grant your request because you use my name. You haven’t done this before. Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy.” John 16:22-24, NLT

 

Joy in God’s Presence: “You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.” Psalm 16:11, NLT

 

Joy at Salvation: In the same way, there is joy in the presence of God’s angels when even one sinner repents.” Luke 15:10, NLT

 

Joy from God’s Word: When I discovered your words, I devoured them. They are my joy and my heart’s delight … “ Jeremiah 15:16, NLT

 

Joy is a Fruit of the Spirit: But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!” Galatians 5:22, NLT

 

Joy is Our Strength: “…for the joy of the Lord is your strength!” Nehemiah 8:10, NLT

 

Joy Filled Jesus: “You love justice and hate evil. Therefore, O God, your God has anointed you, pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else.” Hebrews 1:9, NLT

 

So, today, why not make a decision to live in the joy of the Lord? Let joy define you. Joy is not a weakness, it’s a strength and a sign of real faith! Don’t fall for the “religious” idea of being serious, stoic, unemotional, passionless, fearful or boring … be like Jesus … anointed with more joy than anyone else!!

 

A Song: To help you experience the joy of the Lord, listen to these four songs with your heart and sing along. These are NOT the predictable songs you might think of -- so keep a humble heart and let joy fill you up!

 

Oh Happy Day, by Aretha Franklin - the original song was written all the way back in 1969!! A classic for sure and the more you sing it the happier your heart will be!

 

Joy Song, by Motion Worship. A great song to sing and dance around your house with!

 

Let There Be Joy, by Ray Gene Wilson. We love Ray Gene — he’s a good friend of ours and we love the spirit of faith that flows out of his music. Enjoy!

 

I’ve Got the Joy, Joy, Joy, by Kid’s Church classic! Surprise! This is a great song for your kids and YOU! Don’t be too dignified, keep a childlike faith and sing along!

peace, love and blessings,

 

A Laugh: Don’t be that guy. :)

The God of all comfort...

 

 

the God of all comfort …

hey hey,

If you are going through a difficult time or walking a lonely road, can I encourage you today with a reminder of God’s comfort?

 

A Word: God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.” 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, NLT

 

When your heart is broken and hurting, the Lord is a very present help. You are not alone. He is there. As you draw near to Him, He knows how to get to your heart, in the deepest places, to impart His comfort. I can't explain it, but He will impart a tangible "healing balm" to heal and soothe your heart.

 

I have found His presence and comfort, in times of pain, disappointment, and loss, by getting alone with Him to pour out my heart, to read His Word, listen to worship music and to have a good prayer time (or cry time) with Him.

 

If you are hurting today, He sees you and He is the Father of ALL comfort - go to Him and let His presence and still small voice impart a healing balm to soothe your heart.

 

A Song: To help you experience God's peace and comfort, let these 3 classic songs touch your heart …

 

His Eye is On the Sparrow, by Selah - a classic comforting hymn - it was my mother’s favorite and we sang it with the Hospice worker just before my mom left for heaven.

 

You are God Alone, by Phillips, Dean and Craig - a song that really ministered to my husband the day his mom passed away.

 

Not for a Moment, by Meredith Andrews - such a true and comforting song.

peace, love and blessings,

 

A Laugh: Sometimes, when we need comfort, laughter is the best medicine.
