Getting past our past is one of the most difficult tasks we face in life. Unlike God, we struggle to forgive ourselves for our past issues. My Bible reading this morning was on a very familiar scripture in Matthew. Jesus is passing by the ship of the disciples in the middle of the night walking […]

I have never been a very fast runner. In fact, I have always been a little over weight and slow of foot. I wanted so badly to be chosen to play on the team of some of the better players, but I was always one of the last ones chosen if speed was needed to […]

I grew up watching a television show called Lone Ranger. He did everything on his own with the help of only one person. God created you and I so that we have to be connected in order to grow and produce spiritual fruit. (John 15:4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No […]

OCTOBER 4th…KEEP YOUR CHIN UP!! If we are only able to maintain a good attitude toward life when things are going our way, then we are seriously lacking spiritual maturity. Your attitude belongs to you, and nobody can for you to have a bad one. It’s important to keep your chin up through difficult times […]

Many people have only one goal in life; that is to be happy. The problem is that we go about happiness the wrong way. God has given us a one verse way to enjoy true happiness in our lives. (Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, […]

OCTOBER 2nd…CLEAR MY WAY!! I was driving through a familiar road a few morning ago, but the fog was so thick that I could not see the road very clearly. I have a GPS on my dashboard and I looked at it and it showed every turn the road made. I didn’t quite trust it […]

SEPTEMBER 30th…MADE BY GOD!! One of the first things I look for when I am buying tools to work with is where they were made. Quality control is so much better some places than others. Attention to detail makes all the difference in how things perform. I thought about this when I read this verse […]

A lot of people are unhappy where they are, with what they are doing, and with the way things are. The problem is they only spend their energy complaining or explaining their situation and never take action to do something about it. You talk about wanting friends, the way you are treated, having fun, getting […]

How many times have we said things we wish we could take back? It would be great if our words came with an eraser so we could remove the ones we wish we hadn’t spoken. Many of the offenses we face or cause in this life is because we speak before we think. We often […]

I have heard so many people make the statement, “I don’t see any way out of this mess we’re in.” We often feel like no one else is or ever has gone through what we are facing. The Bible made us a promise that we will never be tempted except what is common to mankind. […]

Fear is something we all deal with in life. Fear can come from so many different angles and often hit us without warning. Fear can be overwhelming at times. God knew we would face fears. Fear is addressed in the Bible by many different writers, so their audiences throughout history knew the feeling of fear. […]

Insecurity has become an epidemic in our society today. People are seeking affirmation from any source they can find. The abuse and rejection they have experienced in their life has them searching for someone or something to relieve the pain. Addiction has become the source many have turned to cover their insecurity. Others spend every […]

Jesus ministry was so needed and popular that crowds of people came to hear him and be healed of their diseases. Can you imagine what it would be like today if a revival was taking place, people were being touched and healed, and the preacher slipped off somewhere to pray instead of attending service? That […]

Hid among Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas is one of the most important holidays we celebrate in America. Today is November 11 and it is known as Veterans Day. It is a day we honor and celebrate all those who have served our country in war and defended our freedom. As we go about […]

How many of us struggle with being our own person? We were raised to provide for ourselves and not depend on anyone to get us through life. In fact, I have had a regular job since age 11, so I started young being independent. The idea of letting someone else help me through life was […]

It has become a common practice to have reveal parties so expectant parents can tell what gender the newborn will be. There has been some great planning put into some of these parties as each one has become a little better or different from the usual. I recall recently where one of the major forest […]

This year has been stressful to say the least. COVID-19, social unrest, and now the election, have produced plenty of stress for everyone. Have you ever felt like you had more on you than you could ever get done? Have you felt incapable of meeting all the demands life was placing on you? Your obligations […]

We have just witnessed a day when adults and children dressed up to be something or someone they were not. A costume that covered their real identity. We have watched commercials and tv programs and wondered why they used a particular person to be part of the program other than their looks. We have seen […]

It seems as soon as stores completed Halloween sales they are immediately turning to Christmas. More and more, each year, Thanksgiving is becoming the forgotten day of Holidays. The more blessed we become the more we forget about the Blesser. How many of you can remember the time when you were not as blessed as […]

When we are isolated and alone, Satan loves to try to keep you there. Satan loves to have you feel hopeless, helpless, and defeated. How many have spent the night feeling like they don’t have a friend in the world? Even before the sun rises and you are fully awake, Satan is already trying to […]

I grew up with a saying that is so untrue. “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me,” is an untrue statement. Talking about others does YOU more harm than you even realize. Whether its family, church, work, or politics, what you say about others shows your maturity or lack […]

The thought of humbling ourselves is often thought as an act of weakness. We are born with this desire to do things ourselves, so giving in to the assistance of someone else is not always easy for us to do. Humility is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign of wisdom. Humility is […]
