His Instruction Or Your Schedule

Posted on

Who would have thought one instruction could be so tough to live out? We might do okay living out this passage normally until it’s time for church on Sunday morning and you have a few kids that need to be ready to go. Mysteriously, one of the shoes and half of the clothing you set […]

My Hope. His Word.

Posted on

There can be long stretches of difficult times in this life. Times where it’s seems there is no end in sight. Struggle and strife day after day tend to break our spirit, mind, and body. Our mind’s ability to recall is a powerful ally in our fight against depression. We can remember what the Lord […]

Shepherd Switch

Posted on

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to forget God? That may sound strange but it’s so true. We have a million different “shepherds” we can let lead us. Everything from TV, social media, movies, music, work, and friends. We can get lost for hours binge watching or playing games. Generally speaking video games, […]

As a Christian I stand for truth and love. My truth comes directly from God’s word which clearly points out we all have sinned and need a Savior. It also tells of a love that is willing to do whatever it takes to reconcile us even to the point of death. There are several who […]

Our First Love

Posted on

Your Christian walk is a relationship not unlike a courting relationship.  In the beginning it’s very exciting and new.  After marriage, it can; however, turn a little stagnant.  You can still go through the motions, even in your sleep, but the zeal is missing.  The same is true with our relationship with God.   The […]

There can be dry periods in life where we can’t seem to see, feel, or experience God’s presence.  Perhaps we’ve been unwilling to lay down one of our dreams or desires before Him and have run the other direction.  Now the desert of faithlessness surrounds us.  What do we do? Our first thought is usually […]
