Peace In Troubled Times How is it possible to have peace in a time like this? For this world has much trouble and is in turmoil. There are wars of many kinds; between nations and even in our own hearts and minds. Jesus is the One who can calm the storms. Even the wind and […]

Powerful Proclamation

Posted on

One of my favorite things to do at Thanksgiving is to go around the table and have each person say what they are thankful to God for. With ages ranging from 5 to 28, it can get pretty interesting. From legos to life, many different things are shared. There’s an abundance of blessing that happens […]

The Quiet Fool

Posted on

In junior high and early high school, I was probably one of the top 5 quietest kids in school. I know that’s hard for some of you to believe but it’s true.  I was often accused of being stuck up because of my silence. God has done a mighty work in opening  up my eyes […]

How To No Longer Thirst

Jesus is involved in every aspect of creation. The phrase that hit me today is “All things have been created THROUGH Him and FOR Him.”  THROUGH Him tells me he is a hands on creator with intimate and unlimited knowledge of His creation. The amazing part of this is that in having all of that […]

Privileges And Praise

Posted on

The LORD being sovereign over all creation is a foreign concept it seems in multi-generational self-centered and entitled society.  As soon as someone is deemed sovereign, the assumption is loss of rights and privileges.  This is not always the case; however, with God. When we were “bought” with the blood of Christ we actually gained […]

Provision And Praise

The shepherds chose to trust in God’s provision and went to see the thing that was told to them (Luke 2:15).  Trusting and obeying meant they got to get one of the first glances of their Lord and Savior.    It also meant an increase in their faith and knowledge that God is who He […]

Who And Why?

Posted on

When I first watched the movie the Matrix I was intrigued with the idea that the world around us is one big illusion, created to distract us while the life is being sucked out of us.  There are several parallels that reflect the lives of some here are earth today.  But you have the truth […]

Praise Marathon

Posted on

We must never forget that our access to the Father was initiated and secured by His love through His Son, Jesus Christ.  As we walk and experience His blessing, it’s not long before we are tempted to think we are “doing a good job” and soon after we go back to trying to carry out […]
