There are many things in life that we can’t avoid, sleeping, eating, water, taxes, death, and the list goes on and on. Another thing that not one person can avoid is that we all will stand before God someday and give an account for our lives here on Earth.The most important thought that should occupy our minds is that of Read More
The Journey
In all my years of listening and receiving in church, I never thought I would have a testimony worth sharing. I never had an earth-shattering moment of getting saved and turning from my wicked ways, I’ve always loved Jesus, and I’ve always served Him with my whole heart. It was this last year (2020), as I was working through some Read More
The Ripple Effect
Do you ever look around at others who are making a difference and question whether you can do the same? Sometimes it just takes one act of obedience, surrender, courage, passion, or generosity to dramatically affect the lives of others. When Moses obeyed God (though reluctantly) and confronted Pharaoh, the people of Israel were delivered from bondage (Exodus 12:31-50). Esther’s Read More
Warriors
So, where do I start? As we enter into 2021, The Lord has impressed on me TO FIGHT, FIGHT IN THE SPRIT! We are in a battle, but not just some ordinary battle; this is Spiritual warfare! Everything that has been going on around us the past twelve months has made it easy for us to take the bait of Read More
New Beginnings
Happy New Year! Well, we made it through another year, and what a year it was! So much happened in 2020, but it feels as though not all of it was a loss! As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about [a]this present result, to keep many people alive. Genesis 50:20 NASB I Read More
Unseasonal Gifts
The gifts God urges us to give are not limited to fitting under a Christmas tree one day of the year; they are not seasonal. The gifts He urges us to give are as endless as His creativity and compassion. Read More
Joy in the Midst of a Crazy and Turbulent World

(John 10:10) God has been stirring in my heart the truth about joy. One moment, I would be thinking about the joy of Read More
Dead Ends
I went for a walk this afternoon and there were several ladies walking around praying. I looked around, trying to find an area where I could be alone. I spotted a path with only one other person on it. As I walked, I began to tell the Lord of my love for Him and to invite Him to do as He wills in Read More
Keys to the Kingdom
Keys open locked things. You need a key to get access. Let’s take a locked box, for instance. The box without a key is useless; if you don’t have the key, you can’t get to what’s inside. If someone told you that the box contained everything you needed, then gave you the key, would you throw the key away or forget Read More
Jesus Our Sure Foundation
With everything going on in our world, we need a sense of security more than ever and the only true security comes in our relationship with Jesus. One of my favorite verses is Isaiah 33:6, “He shall be the security and stability of your times.” Like the old hymn says, “On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground Read More
