Ephesians 2:1-10 “When it rains, it pours.” I feel like I have been using this statement a lot lately to explain the current season of life I am going through. With every step forward, it seems I am knocked 20 steps back. It is during these times that I sometimes ask God what I have […]

      My dear beloved child always remember I am here with you. I am not blind to the circumstances and situation you are in right now. All this shall pass my love, just hang on a little while longer. You are stronger than you think and these days are not new to you. […]

But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t judge by his appearance or height, for I have rejected him. The Lord doesn’t see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7) Praise God for this truth! Many times after people get to know […]

“For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.” (Zephaniah 3:17) Sometimes, we forget that God has feelings, emotions and of course love. We hear all the time God […]

Do you tell others about Jesus or are you afraid of what they will think of you? Our church service this morning was about this very subject.

How many of us think that since we are a Christian, life should be a little easier? Many of us may not want to admit it but we may get tempted into believing this false understanding. If anything, we will be attacked more by the devil and other “worldly evils” as we become stronger in […]

How do you handle stress? I have different stages. For example, at the beginning, I’m like, “Ok, I can do this. It will be ok”. Then it goes to, “Oh my gosh! I’m doomed. What am I going to do?” Then finally, after retreating to my room and getting so far into a funk, I […]

“I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.” (Romans 15:13) What are the key words in this verse? “Because you trust in Him”. The understanding is that you already […]

I think at one point in our lives, we have all experienced brokeness and separation within our families. Mine is no exception. Unfortunately, we have hurt feelings, un-forgiveness, stubbornness and pride in the way of repairing torn family ties. I have tried to do some mending on my own; trying to fix what I feel is […]
