Recently, I shared this meditation with the Men’s Breakfast & Bible Study group. I thought all our Jubilee family could benefit from reading it. Blessings, Pastor Leonard In Proverbs 23:7 NKJV we read, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not […]

“Truths to Remember”
Below are excerpts from Margaret Feinberg’s book “More Power to You”. May you be blessed as you read and personalize these thoughts. Jesus is the King of my life. I am who Christ says I am. I take every thought captive. I break every agreement that sets itself up against the knowledge of God. My […]
“Dealing with Pain”
Sooner or later all of us will experience pain. There are several different kinds of pain – physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual pain. It seems that pain has been a part of God’s plan for mankind, ever since the fall. Our Lord experienced pain before going to the cross. He was in the Garden of […]
“Believer’s Baptism”
I am not sure why, but I have felt like I was supposed to write a meditation on ‘Baptism.’ I would assume that most of our Jubilee family have been baptized, but maybe one or more have not been, since you received Christ. What is a believer’s baptism? It is an act of obedience whereby […]
“We All Suffer”
We all suffer in different ways — physically, financially, emotionally, relationally, spiritually, etc. How should we respond? How do we respond to these trials? James 1:2-4 gives us some guidance. “Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. 3 For you know that when your faith is […]
“Revival”
I have been sharing several studies with the men on Thursday mornings on “Revival” and I feel like I should do at least one meditation on that subject for my readers. I am very concerned about the American churches. There are a couple of books that I wish everyone would read. One is “Shepherds for […]
“Who Is Really In Control?”
Our God is sovereign over all creation. He wants everyone and everything to submit willfully and joyfully to His rule. But whether they do or not, He is still their ruler. We desperately need a vision of the Lord, like Isaiah had. We read in Isaiah 6:1 how the prophet went to the temple to […]
“Final Edition of Biblical Values”
I hope this series of meditations on Biblical values has enriched your lives. I have been refreshed in preparing them. A. We need to practice honesty at all times. The Apostle Paul, in Ephesians 4:15 TLB wrote – “We will lovingly follow the truth at all times—speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly—and so become more and more in […]
“More Biblical Values”
If we are Christians, certain Biblical values should set us apart from the world. A. Respect. Good relationships depend upon respect. In Exodus 20 we have the Ten Commandments. In verse 12, we read “Honor (respect) your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the LORD your God […]
“WHY”
I am frequently asked, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” It is usually put in another form — “Pastor, now that I am a Christian, I thought I wouldn’t have any more problems. It seems that I have more. Why?” The Bible says that bad things can happen to good people for several […]
