Dear Judy,

A new year and the old is behind me and for this I am thankful. I have a lot in my past I am not proud of. How do I keep yesterday from coming into my tomorrow? I have only been a Christian for a short time but I really am different. How do I stay this way?

Dear Different

First of all welcome to the family of God. You now have a huge family who want to help you keep going forward and we must always remember our kingdom of God family will live together forever. I was an only child so I had to learn how to get along with siblings! Like any family differences will arise but the difference in our Kingdom family is we always submit to our Heavenly Father, we are humble, we love one another, and we are to help one another. We follow the principals and the commandments of God. This is how our family lives! We also live by Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:17-18

You are different and the above scriptures show you that. So we walk from this point and allow the Lord to instruct us in what He wants us to do. This scripture tells us who we are and what we are to do. All of us have the same job to do after salvation just different ways we are used to do it. We all have a yesterday but when the enemy brings it up I bring up His future! Our Lord will make a message out of our mess if we just stay in the now with Him. Now praying, Now reading His word, Now praising Him, Now trusting Him and the Now goes on and on.

N (need) O (obedient) W (walk) NOW!

Leave yesterday with the Lord because I cannot change it and leave tomorrow with the Lord who knows our unknowns already. Choose your friends wisely because we become who we run with. Stay into a bible preaching spirit filled submitting to the Holy Spirit leading fellowship!

I think I'm saved...

By Dr. Judy Baus • January 8, 2025
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.

Feeling Empty

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.
