I’ve been in this debate before. People saying, “Good luck” at your new job or “Good luck with your surgery”. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason. Nothing is a coincidence; for instance, being at the right place at the right time scenarios. On more than one occasion, I have had this happen. […]

Choose One
1 Kings 18:21 says: “Elijah went before the people and said. ‘How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God follow him.’” Friends, although no one today worships the pagan god Baal, if we are honest, we all have interests, passions, and preoccupations that […]
Surrender
When times are tough think about this; are you doing this through Christ or trying to wrangle it by yourself? After being a follower of Christ for over 15 years, I still find myself trying to work things out by myself. Only when I finally give up and say I can’t do this or can’t figure […]
Awesome God
God’s love is amazing, Amen? I cannot tell you how many times I have said this, especially in the last couple weeks. I have witnessed God’s healing, miracles and divine answered prayers and I am so blessed to be able to share. One of my good friends was recently involved in a horrific head on […]

In 1 Kings 16, the prophet Elijah shares with Ahab, the evil King, that there would be no rain in Israel for the next three years.

This month marks the one-year anniversary of my car accident that basically stripped me from the safety and security of my livelihood – financially, emotionally, physically and at times spiritually. It was […]

James 5:15 Says “The prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up.” will raise them up.” Thomas Brooks, a 19th century puritan preacher commenting on the power of prayer, notes that, “Cold prayers are as arrows without heads, as swords without edges, as birds without wings; they pierce not, […]
The Smell
2 Corinthians 2:15 Recently, as I walked into a home I was visiting, there was a strong smell of dirty cat litter. I noticed the smell right away and it was horrible, but after a few minutes the smell seemed to go away, or did it? Sometimes that happens within our own homes; we don’t […]
Love on Someone
In this cruel and broken world, it is very refreshing when we hear stories of good Samaritans coming to the rescue of others by stepping in on potential evil doers and stopping them in their tracks or defending an elderly person or child from being abused or mistreated. But, what can we as Christians do […]
