John 1:5 Recently, I was having a discussion with one of my younger granddaughters about how God can and will change our lives. I used a parable with a simple glow stick; she immediately was all ears and I knew I had to make it an amazing lesson because I had all her attention. No […]

“Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.” (Deuteronomy 31:8) Follow me! The disciples heard this and the crazy part is they did. They gave up everything to follow this Jewish carpenter they did not know. Why? […]

Psalms 119:105 When I was a kid we visited my grandmother most weekends. I loved it because my favorite cousins lived right next door. We would play outside until the streetlights came on. My favorite memory is playing a game called “flash light tag”. You would try not to get caught by the one whom […]

Ephesians 3:17-19 “So, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth of His love, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:39) The key word I want to focus on in this verse is “Able”- The definition is, “having the […]

Maybe you did something that has filled you with guilt and shame?  Here’s a news flash! God already knows what is on your heart and mind.  He sees and knows all. He’s waiting for you […]

Psalm 3:2-6 Having a loved one in the ICU of a hospital is scary in itself but observing a family waiting for news or recovery can be heart breaking or encouraging. The energy, in the room is full of worry, defeat, remorse, regret, etc… But in the crevasse of their despair is the slight light […]

John 2:13-22 This world is much like the tables that Jesus over turned in the temple in today scripture. We load our tables with materialistic things that do not bring honor to God, but shame. Our table in this instance is our values in life. Someone once said, “Look at a person’s check book and […]

Psalms 13: 7 Have you ever thought about the weather reflecting our lives? Let’s think about it. When our lives are going seemingly perfect these are the sunny, bright, beautiful, clear days, and when are lives are not going perfect these are the cloudy, rain soaking, thunder roaring days. Sounds a lot like life, right? We all […]

Mark 16:16 What does “Being Saved” mean to you? Does it mean no matter what we do we are going to Heaven; is it a one way pass to Heaven or is it permission to disobey and be undisciplined in the eyes of God? I pray it is a Bible based answer. To be saved […]
