So Dark

We are experiencing the darkness of the world all around us! It can be very upsetting. So many things changing. Sadly, I’m seeing even Christians changing, like a thermometer, in their faith level, joy level, hope level, love level…. Troubles come and their level drops. Our manual for success is the Word of God, the BIBLE! We have to choose to either be a thermostat, which keeps a constant temperature, or be a thermometer which changes with its environment! 

A person who does not have Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior is like a thermometer constantly changing with the times and what is going on around him, but Christians are to be different! We have the Lord and His promises in the Bible to trust in and believe. When we read, trust, believe, and do what the Bible tells us, we will be like a thermostat keeping a constant level of confidence, with our faith, joy, hope, and love levels HIGH! Why? Because no matter how dark it gets, our Lord never changes! People change, things change, situations change, but the Lord Jesus Christ never CHANGES! He never goes back on His promises to us. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8


We are not accountable for others; just accountable for ourself. This might be a good time to look deep inside and allow the Holy Spirit to search our hearts. Are we a thermostat or a thermometer?


Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23,24

Repentance brings Freedom!

By Dr. Judy Baus • July 6, 2026
We are living in very serious times! It is important that we take an account of our heart. Let’s allow the Holy Spirit to search our heart and expose any hidden place of unforgiveness or offense. If we hang onto those and do not repent, we are the only one chained and we leave a door cracked
