Pastor Karen's Wednesday Thoughts 5/27/26

Exodus 20: 1-3 And God spoke all these words, saying, I Am the Lord Your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me.

The very first thing the Lord said to the Israelites is I AM THE LORD!! The second is that He reminded them that it was HE that brought them out of the land of Egypt and out of slavery!!
How often do we need to be reminded of who God is?? How often do we need to be reminded of what He did for us, how He brought us out of bo***ge and slavery to the evil one! How often do we think about how terrible it would be to still be held captive by sin?? How often do we think about how it was before we found Jesus??
It's so interesting to read how God had to keep reminding the Israelites of who He was and what He had done for them!
I used to shake my head and think how stupid and stiff necked could a people be??
In verse three God tells them that they shall have no other gods before Him! After all that the Lord had done for them, rescuing them from Egypt and the horrible conditions they lived in, sending them Moses who would lead them out of captivity finally after devastating plagues that only touched the Egyptians, sending them manna in the wilderness to eat and then quail for meat, guarding and keeping them so that even their clothes did not wear out! Why would God even have to tell them to not worship any other gods!! Why would they want to??
Sad to say we are still those stupid and stiff-necked people at times. After all our Lord has done for us, we still go after other gods, money, power, more and more stuff...we seek the temporary instead of the eternal, we seek instant gratification instead of waiting on the Lord. We want it NOW!!
My dear sister Darlene once told me that we all have a God shaped hole in our hearts and we try to fill it with so many other things and that the only thing that truly gives us peace is filling it with Christ and His righteousness, His ways and His truth.
Dear church, look to Jesus for all you need, He is our all in all. He is the only One that can truly bring us peace and joy. Remember how far you have come because of Him and His mighty love for you. He says "I AM THE LORD!" And HE IS!! Remember to be holy as He is holy! Remember to worship Him and Him alone! And remember when He is the One who fills your heart all will be well with your soul.
Blessings, Pastor Karen

Pastor Karen's Wednesday Thoughts 5/20/26

Revelation 2: 1-5 To the angel in the church of Ephesus write: The words of Him who holds the seven stars in His right hand who walks among the seven golden lampstands. I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance and how you cannot bear with those who are evil but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not and found them to be false. I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for My name's sake, and you have not grown weary. But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember therefore from where you have fallen, repent and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come and remove your lampstand from its place, if you do not repent.
The church in Ephesus was doing it all, their works were wonderful and the Lord noticed! Their toil, their patient endurance, they did not tolerate evil and they tested the teaching of the apostles. They were bearing up for the sake of the name of Jesus and they were not growing weary! WOW! What a church!! They had it all together!! Their works were amazing and they were busy taking care of Gods business!!
BUT....there was one thing...they had abandoned their first love, the love that they began with for their precious Savior Jesus!
How many of us have forgotten to love Jesus first?? How many of us are so busy being about the Fathers business that we forget the Father??
As I sought the Lord last week on a short vacation, the words He spoke to me were that I had forgotten my first love! Wow, did that sting! But Lord look at all I am doing for You!! Look at all the ministries we have, look at all the people we have touched for Your kingdom!!!
And I heard His voice again...more plainly than before...Karen, you have lost your first love for Me...
Dear God, forgive me...no wonder I was feeling so weary, no wonder things didn't seem to be flowing in my life, no wonder worry and anxiousness had crept in.
Dear church, nothing in this world matters more than our love for our Saviour, NOTHING!!
If we lose that we lose everything. We can do all the good works we can do but that is not the key, that is not the answer!! Loving our Jesus is!!
This loving our Lord first is very serious, so serious that He told the church in Ephesus that He would remove their lampstand, their place in the kingdom if they did not repent! Could it be that losing our love for the Lord is sin, why else would we have to repent??
So church, take a moment and reflect on your love for your Lord, King Jesus...how much do you love Him?? Have you forgotten to love Him first?? Did you ever love Him?? We all have to stop and ask ourselves why we do what we do, why do we follow Jesus, what is the driving force behind our ministries, our church, our lives...is it our love for our risen Lord or is it the prestige and acknowledgement we receive from others??
So for me, I have tearfully repented for forgetting my first love Jesus and I am humbled by His mercy and His forgiveness for me.
Oh, how I love Jesus!
Blessings, Pastor Karen

Pastor Karen's Wednesday Thoughts 4/29/26

Psalm 121 I lift my eyes to the hill from whence cometh my help...my help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth!

Life is not always fair, actually most of the time it is not. Our Lord tells us there will be tests and trials, times of uncertainty, times when we cannot figure out why we are suffering, why God is allowing bad things to happen. A question I hear often is " I have been a good person all my life so why are these things happening to me??
Let's look to Jesus, the perfect One. Jesus the One who suffered and died for us...the One who lived a flawless life, the One who came to give us the strength and the courage to live a victorious life and to die a victorious death.
Why is it that at the end of our days we question God about our situations? Why me God?? I have been kind to others, I have gone to church and put my money in the offering plate, I worked hard and took care of my family' Wasn't that enough God??
It's very hard to find God, to make a connection with God when troubles come... especially when we have never made a connection with Him in the good times. In the times of peace and prosperity in our lives, the quiet and calm times.
You see, our Lord wants a relationship with each one of us...He wants us to know Him, to call out to Him, to look to the hills and see Him...the Maker of heaven and earth! I believe our merciful Savior gives us chance after chance after chance to get to know Him, to follow Him with all our heart, to seek Him and find Him.
So that when we come to the end of our days, we won't feel sorry for ourselves, we won't ask God, "why me?" We will trust God, we will look to Him to sustain us, to wrap His mighty arms around us and comfort us.
We will have learned to trust Him and know Him in the good times so that we can trust Him even more in the storms of life! Our Lord will never leave us nor forsake us...He makes a way when there seems to be no way...He carries us when we are weary and He leads us beside the still waters. Our lives should be a testimony of God's goodness, His mercy and His love. In life and in death we
should honor God. He doesn't let us down, He doesn't leave us alone, He doesn't leave us without a hope, and He gives us His promise of life and life abundant, here on this earth and in heaven above!
Dear church, live everyday growing in your relationship with the One Who loves you beyond compare, the One Who gave His life to save yours! Seek Him and you shall find Him!! Do it now!! So that your faith will be unshakable, so that in the storms of life your life will be a testimony to Who your Lord and Savior is!! So, others will know that this Jesus is real and His Word is Truth!!
Dear church, LOOK TO JESUS FOR YOUR HELP AND HE WILL SUSTAIN YOU, STRENGTHEN YOU, GUARD AND KEEP YOU IN ALL OF YOUR WAYS!
Blessings, Pastor Karen
