Be Obedient!

Each year I give the word of the Lord for that year. Here is the word of the Lord for 2023:

Thus He showed me: Behold, the lord stood on a wall made with a plumb line, with a plumb line in His hand. (Amos 7:7)


A plumb line is a measuring line used by carpenters to keep their work straight. The Lord has a plumb line drawn for His children to stay on while living life on this earth. If His children get off the line, they are allowing the world or self to guide their life. We have to fight the good fight (follow the rules of the Bible), running the race of life by faith. Let go of those things in the past and always press toward the goal of life forever with Jesus Christ. 

I pray that 2023 is a very blessed year for us all!

I think I'm saved...

Well, let me start with the most important thing you bring up. I noticed the word I THINK in your question. Just because you go to church does not mean you are a born-again believer.

Wilderness

By Dr. Judy Baus • March 10, 2025
Have you ever thought about the word “wilderness” and what that means for the Christian and the non-Christian? To be a Christian we must believe—which is to trust and have confidence that Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of the world and rose again! Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Stay Watchful

By Dr. Judy Baus • February 2, 2025
STAY WATCHFUL! I am sure we can all agree, 2025 started off with much tragedy and woe! Terrorist attacks killing many, devastating fires in the LA area, a horrible plane and helicopter collision, and another plane crash two days later! Many families in mourning. Truly, the devil is out to steal, kill, and destroy, and sadly, he’s doing a good job at it. But remember, our Lord is far greater than the devil, and He is ultimately in control.

Life with God after salvation!

By Dr. Judy Baus • January 8, 2025
Christianity 101—Life with God after Salvation We are living in very tough times that are only getting harder. As followers of Jesus, we should be strong in the Lord and full of faith, experiencing the God of the impossible. But are we? Jesus said in Matthew 19:26, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” I believe Jesus is looking at us and our fellowships and asking if we truly believe this. Are we living this Scripture out to a watching world?

Come out from among them!

By Dr. Judy Baus • December 20, 2024
We are living in some very dark, wild times. Our manual for success (the Bible) tells us to know the seasons in which we live. We must be alert and watchful and know and understand how our success manual tells us to have success.
