How many times has someone told you that you were not going through your problems alone? How comforting was it to you to know that God is by your side and walking through the unknown times of your life with you? It is like a child that is afraid of the dark. They will not […]

Easter Sunday is over and the big crowds that churches had attend on that day have reduced back to normal size. Only a few that come out for that special day are willing to stay in church. It’s not that people don’t enjoy going to church, it’s that they have too many other things choking […]

How many times have you met an automobile at night that had their lights on bright? It is something that you notice right away. In fact, some of the LED lights can be really bright when you meet them. The darker the night, the brighter the light shines. God has determined that his people would […]

Do you know people who are moody? They can be happy one day and sad the next. They can be friendly today and the next time you see them they won’t speak. You never know how they are going to be when you meet them. I am thankful God is not moody. He never changes. […]

We face the option daily of praying and turning everything over to God, or, worrying about things that we can’t do much about on our own. When we worry about things, we are saying that we think we can solve our own problems better than God can solve our problems. We were not created to […]

I am amazed each spring when the ground begins to turn green just how many different types of weeds come up in my yard. Each year I spray and fertilize, but, each spring the weeds seem to return. If I don’t take care of removing the weeds, the grass will be starved out by them. […]

I like the new commercial about the boy who comes in to tell his parents of the accident he has had in the family car going through this really narrow drive through. He had already called the insurance company and found out they had accident forgiveness and everything was taken care of. No one has […]

I read the story of Anne Sullivan this morning during my devotion time. If her name doesn’t ring a bell, the student she taught will. Anne Sullivan was the tutor for Helen Keller. Helen Keller had an illness at the age of nineteen months of age that caused her to loose her sight and her […]

We all know that in order to keep our physical bodies in shape we have to exercise. To be honest, I could use quite a bit more than I am getting right now. It is not because the opportunity is not available, it is because I choose to do other things with my time instead […]

If we were all honest about our lives, we would confess that there are times that life seems to be an endless battle. One battle after another can cause us to live a life filled with fear and frustration. The great news about our battles is that we don’t have to fight them alone. The […]

There is not a greater expression of God loving us than Easter represents. God gave his Son so that he might come and live in our lives and be present with us daily. God loves us more than we love ourselves. The Bible teaches us that the love of God has been poured out in […]

I love the celebration of the Ressurection! To let our minds venture back to the breaking of dawn, the stone being rolled back and the Son of Man coming forth victorious over death, hell, and the grave. What a powerful event for us to think about. Not just because it happened, but because God did […]

Friday had been a horrible memory. Watching Jesus being betrayed, beaten, mocked, hanged on a cross, and finally seeing his dead body laid in a tomb. The dream, the excitement of a king, the ministry, all were suddenly silenced. We don’t know what the disciples did on Saturday. We don’t have a scripture to tell […]

Today, we celebrate the day Jesus died on the cross. It has become known as Good Friday. The events leading up to this day we celebrate and the events that took place on this day are anything but pleasant to think about. The things that Jesus suffered were horrendous, yet, the only words he would […]

How things are going in your life is often shown by the expression on your face. You would think some people are the saddest people in the world by the expressions they show. Their faces tell the world to leave me alone, I don’t won’t to be bothered. I am one who loves to be […]

The last couple days I have been a part of funerals of friends and family. I have introduced myself to many strangers and also to some family members whose names I could not remember. I wish I could tell you that I remember the names of the people I met, but, I only remember a […]

We all know people that love to talk. They know everything about anything the subject is about. I know people who have something to say on every subject I talk about. I’ve even continually changed the subject just to listen to what their response would be. Though, that can become annoying at times, the one […]

I don’t know about you, but, today’s passage of scripture is one that I had to learn from experience. I have always had a difficult time loving those who did things to hurt me, or told things that were not true just to attempt to do damage. That GET EVEN attitude was one that doesn’t […]

Do you have a child who is hard to get up in the morning? You have to go back more than one time and say GET UP, it’s time to get up. Maybe you are one who punches the snooze in the morning for that 5 more minutes. There are people who want to get […]

I’ve always been a person who likes to get where I’m going early. I don’t like to wait until starting time to get to service. I never liked to get to work right at starting time, I like to get there early enough to make sure everything was ready to begin without any issues. My […]

The present age is the smartest people of all generations of mankind. It’s scary how smart man has become. There is hardly anything that you need to do that you can’t search out a tutorial to show you how to do it. The pursuit of knowledge is none ending. The one area of our lives […]
