Provision And Praise

Posted on

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 […]

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 […]

What An Outstretched Arm Can Do

Posted on

   With a mighty hand and outstretched arm the LORD brought all things into being.  With those hands He formed you and I and breathed life into us. Out of nothing, He created something magnificent.  With outstretched arm, He led His people out of bondage in Egypt and into the freedom of the Promised Land. […]

Stress Or Praise?

Posted on

How easy it is for us to be wrapped up in how we are going to make it through this situation today.  This week I’ve been preparing for our annual convention for our business.  My wife left 3 days ago and the week has been a blur of softball, packing for 6, grocery shopping for […]

Music From The Earth

No doubt we have been blessed for many years here in the United States. Rapidly we’re seeing a decay in adherence to the constitution, morals, and ultimately reverence for God. Depression, disease, and homelessness are on the rise. Not a very bright picture. The truth in this passage; however, brings an undying hope.  It is God’s […]

All Of Creation Speaks

What Can Man Do To Me?

Posted on

   When fear creeps in, it simply means we’ve forgotten who we serve, who we are, and what what He has done.  We serve the God of all creation who by the power of His word spoke all into being with its layers of complexity, design and laws of nature to govern.  Several times He […]

What Is God Doing Now?

Posted on

      Praise and thank you’s to the LORD are something that should spill over into all of our relationships. I love hearing peoples testimonies of how the Lord has rescued them but equally amazing are the stories of what he did in their life last week yesterday and in the last five minutes. […]

Lips Of Praise And Thanksgiving

Posted on

                Nothing destroys a ministry faster than Immorality, Impurity, or Greed and we are all in ministry (2 Corinthians 5:17-21).  Rather than filthiness, silly talk, coarse jesting, let the giving of thanks abound from your lips. There are a few take-aways that hit me today: 1.) Know that […]
