Writing and Art From A Life Redeemed by Jesus Christ

Are You Thirsty? ©  2006 Debbie Turner Chavers Behold the Man, The Word Became Flesh ©  2005 Debbie Turner Chavers Man Shall Not Live by Bread Alone ©  2006  Debbie Turner Chavers A message that bears repeating is the instruction to magnify, study, avail ones self of the best resource available in the known world and beyond.  God's Living, Life changing WORD. Don't delay. Come one, come all, to the fountain of Living water and drink your fill. Secret things are hidden and revealed in God's Holy Word.  God is current on all matters.  He is the trusted, reliable source for the truth and the whole truth.  He is the TRUTH. ~Debbie John 1:14 And the Word was made 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 1:17  For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him s...

                                                                  God Sees Us Naked                                                          © 1999 Debbie Turner Chavers Recently, I enjoyed several songs by The David Crowder Band.  Two of the songs in particular reminded me of one of my Art Parables.  The Art Parable is called  "God Sees Us Naked"  . The songs were "How He Loves You"  and "Come As You Are" .  Click on the names of the songs to listen to them. There is so much more that God desires for you that the human finite mind finds hard to grasp.  Yet, still He calls to you.  Open your arms and your heart and receive Hi...

I read a great encouragement this morning from Joseph Prince Ministries.  You can read it below and also at http://www.josephprince.org ~Debbie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THE CLAUSE THAT MAKES IT ALL HAPPEN Hebrews 8:12   For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” We are no longer under the old covenant. We are now under the new covenant. And in this new covenant, God says that He will do three things for us: Lead us —“ I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts.” (Hebrews  8:10 ) These are the laws of faith, love and liberty to guide you in everything you do. It is a spontaneous, dynamic, active and intimate way to be led by God. Work miracles for us — “I will be their God, and they shall be My people.” (Hebrews  8:10 ) The phrase “I will be their God” denotes a miracle-working God. So if you are sick and God says, “I will be your God,” get ready for healing! If ...

So I was reading 1 Timothy 5 this morning and got schooled on some daily behavior tips.  The chapter starts with relationship boundaries. Note I didn't say relationship advice.  Advice tends to be followed by those who agree with the advise given. God's word is a stated, intended boundary for daily life and living behavior. So with this train of thought I checked the definition for the word 'boundary.' Boundary : a line that marks the limit of an area; a dividing line. A limit of a subject or sphere of activity. We are surrounded by those who require respect in our daily dealings.  Give honor to those to whom honor is due.  Don't be a busy body, take care of your business at home and abroad. The verse that grabbed my attention was... 1 Timothy 5:21  I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality. So what is your boundary? ...

A few months ago I purchased an NKJV of the bible.  It is called  The Maxwell Leadership Bible, Lessons in Leadership from the Word of God by John C. Maxwell. I normally study and read from a King James Version of the bible, but occasionally will use the NIV also.  The reason I bought the Leadership version is because I have watched John be interviewed many times and have been blessed by his insight of leadership principles.  I have not read all his comments included in this bible yet, but I am reading them along with areas that I am studying at the moment.  So far I have been blessed by the notes I have read so I thought I would post for anyone who would like to check it out. LifeWay has an ereader version available. Click here to access  .  The ereader copy is in NIV format.  You can purchase a briefcase edition or hardback copy at several stores and online. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

At times it can seem impossible to forgive someone and yet for our well being it is required.  Some things are so painful it is difficult to even momentarily consider the thought of forgiveness, yet God is quite specific in His instructions.  Healing of our mind and emotions are usually a pr...
