A special prayer on Memorial Day — As we remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy every day, we think of how they have followed in the footsteps of your son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Please hold our servicemen and women in your strong arms. Cover them with your […]
So many times, we seek after what the world can’t give us, and in the wrong places. Fame, success, recognition, acceptance, value— it is in the “burning out” of ourselves and our own selfish ways we begin to see the Light. We are presented with a choice to make: follow the broken path and take the […]
With my busy schedule and life, itself, my spring cleaning had fallen to the wayside. I finally stole some time this past weekend and tackled the “cobwebs” that had accumulated. While dusting and freshening up my house, I was reminded how easy it is to accumulate “cobwebs” in our minds, hearts and basically every aspect of our […]
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.

You are the hands and feet of Christ. No other can live the purpose and mission given to you. No mission is too small. No mission is more important than another. You must live your mission. We spend far too much time waiting for the church, the government, those in full time ministry or others […]
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matthew 6:33) This is real simple command that many people miss. Jesus is telling us that above and before all things we are to communicate with our loving God. When we first open our eyes, we should […]
