Hi. I'm Janet Roller: wife of one, mother of two, lover of coffee and writer of songs. I have just finished my first fiction novel and I'm looking forward to watching how God uses the simple story to minister to others. God is a big deal to me. My goal each day is to wake up and declare, "This day is Yours, Lord. Show me what to do with it."

That's My King D'You Know HIM???

From Dr. Shadrach Meshach (S.M.) Lockridge's famous sermon.

The Bible says my King is the King of the Jews.
He's the King of Israel.
He's the King of righteousness.
He's the King of the ages.
He's the King of Heaven.
He's the King of glory.
He's the King of kings, and He's the Lord of lords.
That's my King. I wonder...Do you know Him?

My King is a sovereign King.
No means of measure can define his limitless love.
He's enduringly strong.
He's entirely sincere.
He's eternally steadfast.
He's immortally graceful.
He's imperially powerful.
He's impartially merciful.
Do you know Him?

He's the greatest phenomenon that has ever crossed the horizon of this world.
He's God's Son.
He's the sinner's Savior.
He's the peak of civilization.
He's unparalleled.
He's unprecedented.
He is the loftiest idea in literature.
He's the highest personality in philosophy.
He's the fundamental doctrine of true theology.
He's the only one qualified to be an all-sufficient Savior.
I wonder if you know Him today.

He supplies strength for the weak.
He's available for the tempted and the tried.
He sympathizes and He saves. He strengthens and sustains.
He guards and He guides.
He heals the sick.
He cleanses the lepers.
He forgives sinners.
He discharges debtors.
He delivers the captives.
He defends the feeble.
He blesses the young.
He serves the unfortunate.
He regards the aged.
He rewards the diligent, and He beautifies the meager.
I wonder if you know Him.

He's the key to knowledge.
He's the wellspring of wisdom.
He's the doorway of deliverance.
He's the pathway of peace.
He's the roadway of righteousness.
He's the highway of holiness.
He's the gateway of glory.
Do you know Him?

Well, His light is matchless.
His goodness is limitless.
His mercy is everlasting.
His love never changes.
His word is enough.
His grace is sufficient.
His reign is righteous, and His yoke is easy and His burden is light.
I wish I could describe Him to you! Yes, He's indescribable.
He's incomprehensible.
He's invincible.
He's irresistible.
You can't get Him out of your mind.
You can't get Him off of your head.
You can't outlive Him, and you can't live without Him.
Well, the Pharisees couldn't stand Him but they found out they couldn't stop Him. Pilate couldn't find any fault in Him.
Herod couldn't kill Him.
Death couldn't handle Him, and the grave couldn't hold Him.

I wonder if you know Him.

Shalom = Peace


This weekend I had the privilege of being a part of the Shalom Women's Conference with Fairview Mountain Ministries. A precious group of women gathered on the top of Cherry Mountain in North Carolina for a time of encouragement and Bible study.

The picture above is just one of the beautiful scenes along the road to the top of the steep, rain-slick path. This was not terrain that I'm used to driving. (I'm normally clinging to the passenger-side door while Matt handles the road.)

Even on the rainy day, the atmosphere was peaceful and God-filled. We all came together for one purpose...to encounter Shalom Jehovah - The God of Peace.

When times are good, be happy;
but when times are bad, consider:
God has made the one as well as the other.

Every Hair


But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

TSMS- The Kingdom Heirs - He Had to Rise



I just saw The Kingdom Heirs in person for the first time this week. They were wonderful! I grew up listening to southern gospel and had forgotten how much I love it. Hope you enjoy this song!
