by: Linda Kirby/WGON 2.2.26 Sometimes watching world leaders make decisions feels like watching a movie where you already know the ending — because you read the Book — and everyone else in the theater hasn’t. I say out loud, “I know what’s going to happen because I read the Book,” and the crowd keeps yelling at me to hush because they don’t know the ending. There’s a special kind of frustration that comes from seeing the plot twists coming while the people in charge act like

by: Linda Kirby / WGON 1.26.26 Last night, while the weather forecast was causing extreme concern for us all, my brain decided to write a comedy routine since I couldn’t sleep anyway. Not on purpose. It just happened. And let me tell you — it was so ridiculous I nearly broke a rib laughing. In my mind, I wasn’t walking onto a stage like a normal person. No, ma’am. I was being hauled in — riding in a wagon hitched to the back of my grandson Jamie’s Ebike. He was dressed like t

by: Linda Kirby/WGON 1.19.26 We prepare for many things in life, but almost no one prepares for the moment they will stand before Christ — and Scripture warns that some believers will meet Him with joy, while others will feel a piercing moment of shame. 1 John 2:28: “And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.” Notice John didn’t say anything about losing salvation. Instead, he shows us that

by: Linda Kirby/WGON 1.5.26 Man has always hunted for a god—even in the most unusual places. From ancient times to modern headlines, the search continues. They look to the heavens for aliens with higher intelligence, because deep down they know that a true God must be far superior to mere earthlings. They once looked to fallen angels, ( Gen.6) elevating them to gods and later demi-gods, because they needed something—someone—greater than themselves. Whether Psalm 82 speaks to

by: Linda Kirby/WGON 12.29.25 If you are a Christian, you can see in the dark. Nothing creeps up on you in the shadows, because through Christ, you see everything. Jesus is the Light of the world, and by Him, we discern what’s unfolding—even when the world calls it chaos. He told us in His Word what would happen, so when it does, we recognize His hand. That’s Bible prophecy. If we know our Bible, we know what the events in the world are really saying. We understand the protes

by: Linda Kirby/WGON 12.22.25 About two decades ago, Satan worked hard to turn people against celebrating the birth of Christ. He pushed the idea that Christmas was nothing more than a pagan holiday, spinning the narrative in such a way that many stopped decorating—or even stopped celebrating altogether—the birth of our Savior. We do not know the year, month nor day of Jesus’ birth but what is important is THAT He was born. Many believe December 25 is a pagan holiday so celeb

by: Linda Kirby 12.15.25 Mercy, mercy, mercy. This is what I pray. Every day- I listen to what the suffering say. Mercy, mercy, mercy, please make the pain go away. They whisper their prayer all night and day. Mercy, mercy, mercy, they know He will hear. They know He’s there and they have no fear. Mercy, mercy, mercy, is what they will get When Jesus hears their prayer for He won’t forget.

by: Linda Kirby/WGON 12.8.25 Have you noticed that when you go into the bathroom, you seem to hear from the Holy Spirit more easily? Many do—whether they’re showering or sitting on the throne. There’s something about that space. The masks come off. We’re lowered to a position of vulnerability and humility. The bathroom is the great equalizer. No one’s on a high horse in there—it’s been stabled outside. We’re brought low, right where we always should be… humble. While you’re s

by: Linda Kirby/WGON 12.1.25 Who is the true church? With so many claiming Christ yet embracing the world and idolatry, we are left to ask: upon whom was their church built? Jesus warned, “By their fruits you shall know them” (Matthew 7:16). And Paul reminds us, “For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 3:11). When Jesus said to Peter, “ Upon this rock I will build my church” (Matthew 16:18 ), many believe He did

by: Linda Kirby/WGON 11.26.25 Remember when Thanksgiving meant a house so full of guests it nearly worked you to death—days of baking, endless pots simmering, and ovens glowing late into the night? Yet you did it with joy. You were giddy at the sight of pies cooling on the counter, turkeys roasting, and casseroles lined up like soldiers, each dish prepared with love. The anticipation of family arriving—faces you hadn’t seen in months, sometimes years—was the icing on the cake

by: Linda Kirby/WGON 11.24.25 Long before computers and social media, loneliness was already a quiet epidemic. I remember how the elderly were especially affected. Many would order items from catalogs and magazines—not because they needed the products, but because they needed the brief conversation with a delivery person at the door. That fleeting moment of human connection was worth the cost. Then came computers. I got my first one in 1995—late to the party, perhaps, but ear

by: Linda Kirby/WGON 11.17.25 Remember the days of the front porch — when the family gathered on hot summer evenings to sit and chat, maybe share a slice of watermelon? That memory came rushing back to me during a recent conversation with a friend, and I’d like to share it with you. It’ll make you laugh, leave a lasting smile on your face, and more importantly, offer a lesson on life and how God can turn trails into joy. About 73 years ago, when I was just a little girl, the

by: Linda Kirby/WGON 11.10.25 We were told it was about peace. About saving the planet. About safety. But the language keeps shifting, and if you listen closely, the mask slips. At COP26, Prince Charles declared the need for a “vast military-style campaign” to marshal the global private sector—with trillions at his disposal. Not ours. His . To whom is he referring? A slip? Perhaps. Or perhaps a signal. A quiet confession that power is no longer dispersed, but concentrated—re

by: Linda Kirby/WGON 11.3.25 From the beginning, God declared, “It is not good that man should be alone” (Genesis 2:18). This wasn’t just about companionship—it was about design, purpose, and divine order. God even said Adam needed a help mate. So God created woman, not as an afterthought, but as a necessary counterpart. Together, they formed the first human partnership—a living testimony to the strength found in unity. Later, Solomon echoes this truth in Ecclesiastes 4:9–12,

By: Linda Kirby/WGON Oct. 27, 2025 As of late October 2025, tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela have escalated dramatically. The U.S. has deployed its largest naval and air presence in the Caribbean in decades, authorized covert CIA operations, and launched strikes on vessels near Venezuelan waters—resulting in dozens of deaths. Venezuela’s President Maduro has declared a state of emergency and placed Russian-made armament on wartime alert, while warning the UN of imminen

by: Linda Kirby/WGON 10.20.25 The other night, my daughter walked her dog beneath a heavy sky—her heart in turmoil. An injury had kept her from work for weeks, and the financial strain was suffocating. As she walked, she cried out into the darkness, “God, are You up there? Do You see me? Do You hear my cries?” Her voice trembled with desperation, echoing the groan of Romans 7:24:  O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? She kept crying out

BY: Linda Kirby/WGON 9/29/2025 Something is deeply wrong. If your spirit is unsettled, you’re not crazy—you’re discerning. Here are a few examples of the many crises we are facing today: The murder of Charlie Kirk wasn’t just a tragedy. It was a trigger. And what’s followed since has gone off the rails. I have heard speeches that disturb my spirit. I’m afraid of what I hear. We loved Charlie but we can’t let our profound grief throw off our discernment. We are reminded by Jes

By: Linda Kirby/WGON I used to think that rearranging my room was just about comfort—making space for my plants, my coffee station, my tech setup, and my ministry work. Every corner had a purpose, every table a task. But then life shifted, and I had to pivot. My health changed. My mobility narrowed. And suddenly, the room that once served me so well became a maze of obstacles. That’s when I heard it—not audibly, but deep in my spirit: “Girl, you need to change this room.” It

by: Linda Kirby/WGON 1 Corinthians 2:9 — “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” Have you ever paused and truly pondered this verse? God has given mankind a remarkable imagination. It’s how we’ve built cities, sent rockets into space, and turned dreams into reality. Man imagines it—then builds it. Yet Scripture tells us that even our greatest imaginings fal

A Watchwoman’s Reflection on the Near Return of Christ We live in a world where machines can read our faces, track our movements, and even alter our biology. What once belonged to science fiction now sits quietly in our pockets and pulses through our veins. But for those who know the Word, this isn’t just innovation—it’s preparation, it’s prophecy fulfillment. Scripture tells us that in the last days, deception will increase, lawlessness will abound, and a global system will

by Linda Kirby/WGON While in my garden after a long, wet spring, I noticed the weeds had taken over. A thought came to mind: the idea that weeds—those who live without Jesus in their daily lives—seem to thrive, while flowers—those who walk in faith—struggle. This is echoed in Scripture as well. Psalm 73 comes to mind, where the psalmist wrestles with why the wicked prosper: “For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked... Surely in vain I have kept my hea

by: Linda Kirby/WGON It was a dark night, and I was alone. Jamie was out helping his brother, and I sat in my dimly lit room, playing games on my phone, waiting for his soon return. Everything was peaceful—until I thought I saw movement. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw what looked like someone peeping around my bedroom doorway. I paused, thinking Jamie might be checking to see if I was asleep so he wouldn’t wake me. But nothing came from the doorway. “Jamie, is that you?”

BY: Linda Kirby/WGON We’ve entered a new age of technology—one that leaves many of us uneasy. With the rise of computer “chatbots” and “AI,” it’s hard to know what’s what, and even harder to know what to trust. Just like when computers first arrived, Christians had their reservations. Back then, they were called “Satan’s tools.” And yes, Satan uses them—but so does God. While Satan spreads filth on websites, God fills others with love, wisdom, and salvation. It’s up to us, as

by Linda Kirby / WGON My late husband had a habit that always made me smile: he’d wash the dishes in hot, soapy water before placing them in the dishwasher. You might wonder—why go through all that trouble? I believe it was simple: he didn’t trust the dishwasher. Isn’t that a bit like how we approach salvation? We tell ourselves we need to “clean up our act” before coming to Jesus. But that’s like taking a bath before stepping into the shower—redundant and unnecessary. What w

by Linda Kirby/WGON I t didn’t come with a cough. No wheezing, no warning. Just a slow, silent grip around my lungs until the room felt empty of oxygen. I sat there, unable to think, unable to move, with only one thought that came to me: “ There’s no oxygen in the air” Asthma has taught me about the quiet attacks—the ones that sneak in so subtly you mistake them for low oxygen in the air, or forgetfulness, or brain fog. But they aren't harmless. They're deadly if ignored. So

Daily Inspirational Encouragement 14= DELIVERANCE By: Linda Kirby/WGON This morning I did a video on the news that Davos elites have stated that blockchain is nearly here and there’s no way us normal humans can get around it now. They will have total control over all people’s money and how they CAN spend it. If you are not approved by them, you get no “money” or blockchain currency. Oh, and by the way, cash will be outlawed. So, this tells me the tribulation is almost he

Daily Inspirational Encouragement FORBIDDEN WORSHIP By: Linda Kirby/WGON We are blessed to be able to worship Jesus in this country — even as we start to lose our rights, we can still worship our Savior. However, in many countries, it is against the law to worship Jesus. You can’t even own a building to use as a church, yet, they gather in a parking lot no matter the weather and worship together. Scripture tells us that fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the L

Daily Inspirational Encouragement HANG ON By: Linda Kirby/WGON Yes, the world has gone insane, but it is man’s fault for following his own will instead of God’s will. God will allow it to further His own plans. He can use evil for good ... He is doing that now. What is the good that will come out of this evil today? Well, not long now, we will see a new world order, but it’s not the one the evil ones are trying to bring into being. No, this new world order will be a monarchy

Daily Inspirational Encouragement QUICK TO BLAME BUT SLOW TO PRAISE By: Linda Kirby/WGON Funny how it is okay to blame God for evil and suffering in the world, but it is not necessary to thank Him for what is good and pleasant. God does so much for this world to bless people, yet, few see it as from God. Romans 1:20-- For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has

Daily Inspirational Encouragement When You Don’t Have Enough excepts from Betsy de Cruz “Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.” – Mark 6:41, When resources are in short supply, we start to focus on our lack. That’s what the disciples were doing when Jesus asked them to feed the 5,000 people. “We have o

When we have unlearned these thoughts, we are shown better ways to think and

Without these assurances, life today would be nearly impossible to endure. Things are so bad now, that Christians are finding it difficult to find peace anymore. But, His peace will not be removed.

Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:58 Every day, we go through experiences which tempt us to flinch, shy away, or run away in fear. But when we are brave enough to face challenges head on, the Lord blesses our obed

Daily Inspirational Encouragement DIRECTIONS By: Linda Kirby/WGON with excerpts by Kristine Brown When the plans we’ve made in life change course, our feelings can also change. We trade our excitement and anticipation for dread or discouragement. But even in the hardest situations, God will offer blessings in the most unexpected ways. Proverbs 16:9 tells us, “ In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. ” Planning is important. The ability

Daily Inspirational Encouragement WAIT PATIENTLY FOR THE LORD except by: Tiffany Thibault Wait patiently for the Lord. Often, we pray for people and situations over and over again, waiting for an answer that never seems to come. This verse not only tells us to wait patiently for the Lord, but then it says that we are to be brave and courageous. We have been living in very scary times of late and bravery and courage is what will help us get through these times because we are

Daily Inspiration Encouragement BIBLE TEACHING CHURCHES by: Linda Kirby/WGON I wonder how many Christians know exactly what the bible says rather than what the American churches today are spouting? Churches today aren’t about teaching scripture more than just a brief mention before an unrelated sermon. The people in the pews don’t have a clue what the scripture that was just read means. They are there mostly to be entertained. Teaching scripture might lead into parts of

Daily Inspirational Encouragement THAT TO-DO LIST By: unknown Many of us are so busy today, that finding time to do anything extra would really be hard to do. Sometimes, we take on responsibilities that we just don’t have the time for. We mean well, and are enthused to do it but as time goes on, we find we are having to put that new endeavor on the bottom of the list of things to do. We all get that because we’ve all done that. However, when we take on a work for the Lo

Daily Inspirational Encouragement PEACE UNTO YOU By: Linda Kirby/WGON “The only one who can satisfy the human heart is the one who made it”, someone once said. What a true statement that is. Many people feel an emptiness in their hearts and try to fill that void with everything but Jesus. They turn to worldly possessions, drugs, alcohol, popularity, fame, fortune, yet nothing is satiating that craving. Many go through their entire lives that way. They never realize tha

Daily Inspirational Encouragement BE A GODLY FRIEND By: Linda Kirby/WGON We all want a friend that we can rely on when times are hard. We want that friend to be reliable, discrete, and loving no matter what. Yet, do we give that friend the same kind of friendship? The most important thing you can give your friends is Jesus. If you have a friend who doesn’t follow Jesus, you can discretely plant seeds, let your walk with Jesus show them who Jesus is. You don’t have to pr

Daily Inspirational Encouragement HOW TO START YOUR DAY By: Linda Kirby/WGON Do you recall the old song, "What A Wonderful World?" Such a beautiful song -- the lyrics and melody are incredible. However, this world has turned dark and ugly. How can one get through it and remain intact? How can one face each day with a smile on their face? The only way is to start our day with Jesus. Before we open our eyes in the mornings, we should spend a couple of moments speaking with the

Daily Inspirational Encouragement Wisdom in Parenting By: e xerpts from Emily Rose Massey It is our job as parents to teach and guide our children and protect them the best we can. I know for me, as a mom, I most definitely cannot do this without God’s grace and wisdom. Learning from what He has to say about parenting has been so much better than all the world’s advice could offer me. The book of Proverbs is full of wisdom and a familiar verse from chapter 22 gives us directi

Daily Inspirational Encouragement BE A DOER unknown James 1:22: But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. In this passage, James exhorts us to take action. We are not to just listen to God's words and do nothing. This does nothing to advance the kingdom. We are to be doers of the word. To put God's words into action. To make a difference. If we hear only, we are simply "pew sitters". We are of no more consequence than the paint on the walls

Daily Inspirational Encouragement A PURE HEART unknown Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiledand unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. Titus 1:15 Paul, of course, does not excuse sin here and supposedly assert that sin is not sin if you do it not thinking it to be sin. In truth, we all have a conscience given us by God that reveals to us the dictates of his holy law, convicts us with guilt when we violate it, an
