Time to Think

December is a busy month for us all. In the midst of all the busyness, believers must get excited about Jesus and what He has done, what He is doing, and what He is going to do!

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. John 1:1-5



And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14


These are great scriptures to mediate on as we are about to enter a new year. When we go to bed at night and when we get up each morning, a great peace will come on us because, as believers, we have given our life to the creator of it all and He holds it all together. He came from heaven to earth to show us the way! This brings me great comfort because I know that no matter what comes my way, my Lord and Savior will see me through!


If we get so busy focusing on other things and allow this great understanding to be pushed to the side, our life will be full of chaos and confusion. Let’s mediate on what went right this year and what went wrong. First and foremost, wrong is if we have not received Jesus as our personal Savior, or if we have placed Him second to anything or any person.


Let’s take some time this month to purpose in our heart to change some things so next year is more fulfilling than this year. And remember why we celebrate Christmas — JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!

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.

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.
