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 […]

3-12-19 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY…SCARS!! TELL YOUR PAST or FUTURE?? Our student pastor, Brandon Tuck, said in a message last Sunday morning that scars are our testimony. They tell our past experiences in life. Most scars are not pleasant experiences, but, they show that the pain of the moment has been erased and a healing […]

3-4-19 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY… YOUR LIFE!! IT BECOMES WHAT YOU FOCUS ON!! I know people who still focus on things that happened 1-5-10-20 years ago or more. They live their lives like it happened yesterday. They have been caught in the trap of only looking at the bad that has happened to them instead […]

2-28-19 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY… LIVE UNSELFISHLY!! CARE FOR OTHERS!! I remember a time in my life when my main concern was for the things I wanted. I had very little thought or care for the ones I met each day. When I met God, I began to see things in a different light. Not […]
