Something I posted on my Facebook page recently! God values YOU!
When we’re concerned about our value, the devil will speak lies to our minds and point us to the lies of our culture. Jesus, however, will speak the truth of His Word to our hearts and point us to the Cross – the greatest way He could say, “You are worth it all!”
“…but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8

On April 5th, 2017, my dear mother, Theresa Heider, went home to be with Jesus. I wrote the following song ten years ago, never realizing that I would one day dedicate it to my mother. But as with any Christian, death does not have the final victory. Be encouraged: If you have lost a loved one, you will one day see them again! (I Thessalonians 4)
Just like we’re not saved by our “good works,” we are not healed or blessed in any other way by those works. We cannot earn our covenant blessings purchased on the cross. Though being a “good person” is commendable and needful, God is only moved by our faith!
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.
