Joshua 3: 1-17 Most of us remember those famous words, “Go ahead, make my day!!” spoken by Clint Eastwood in the movie Dirty Harry. Perhaps, just perhaps, that is what our Lord says when we step out in boldness and allow him to work through us. God wants us to step out and make a move […]

1 Timothy 1:15-16 Are there times in your life when you find yourselves wondering “How can God love someone like me? How could an all-powerful, all-knowing God that made the whole universe, love ME?!” I do that a lot and then I remember the words from 1 Timothy 1:15-16, “This is true saying, and everyone should believe […]

Read Matthew 19:14 Recently, I was at my son’s baseball game.  To pass the time, my 4 year old daughter began tossing a stick up in the air saying, “I’m trying to toss this stick up to heaven for Pottsie.”  (Potts was our family dog that passed away over a year ago)…Ahhh, the innocence of a child.  Even though […]

Psalm 46:10, 37:7 For many, especially women, they love to soak in the tub once in awhile with candles and soft music; just enjoying a relaxing, peaceful time.  We are instructed in Psalms 46:10, “Be still, and know that I am God.” The wording “be still” literally means to cease from striving. It means to let […]

2 Corinthians 3:7-18 (The Message) There are times when life is fuzzy and confusing; almost like we are walking around in a fog. We are unsure of what we should do or where we should be. When I first accepted Christ, there was a whirlwind of emotions, expectations, and yes, confusion; however, not the worldly […]

Revelations 19:6-10 Anyone that has ever taken children to McDonald’s knows how excited they get when you say, “Do you want a happy meal?” My kids are crazy for them and if you take notice, it isn’t for the meal; it is for the gift that they get with the meal. No matter how cheesy, corny or ridiculous the […]

Read- Matthew 15:3-11; James 1:26 There are so many verses in the bible concerning the use of “our words”. Words affect not only how we think, but the thinking of others. For example, if I tell you “Do NOT think about the Statue of Liberty” what automatically comes to mind? Even though I told you […]

Matthew 7:13-20 Have you ever played the trust game?  It is where a group of people get together and pair up to do different exercises that enhance their trust of others.  In today’s scripture, we are told that we have to trust in our Lord and walk a narrow path of righteousness by forsaking broad, […]

Hebrews 8:7-12 I think just about everyone that drives has taken a wrong turn down a one way street at some point in their driving career. The rush of fear and dread comes over you and you wonder – did anyone see me, did a cop see me, am I going to get a ticket? […]
