Romans 8:29 (Msg) “Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved.” ― William Jennings Bryan. Many times I find myself through my life wondering what is my true destiny, what am I supposed to do […]
“I have no complaint about your sacrifices or the burnt offerings you constantly offer. But I do not need the bulls from your barns or the goats from your pens, for all the animals of the forest are mine, and I own the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird on the mountains, […]
Zechariah 4:8-10 As I was studying this passage this week, it reminded me of this ministry, Simply God 101. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit in 2012, I started texting about 40 friends once a week to share Gods word; now 4 years later the list of people that receive Simply God texts are […]
Matthew 25:23 One of my favorite Christian speakers is Joyce Meyers. I saw her in person a couple times in the last few years. I think I like her so much because she is so real and authentic. She doesn’t sugar coat what God expects from us. I was listening to her not long ago […]
Psalm 25:5 It wasn’t long ago I had a couple of my grand kids in the car with me. They are always laughing about me getting lost easily whenever we go anywhere. It has become a family joke so much that my nephew gave me a GPS for Christmas this past year. I have used […]

Romans 8:33,34 We all go through bouts of guilt; but we have to understand good guilt and bad. Max Lucado says it best, “God uses appropriate doses of guilt to awaken us to sin.
