Him in building

Him in building

In part 1 Corinthians 15:58 says, “Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain”. Most often when it comes to serving the Lord you and I do not lack the ability, but most likely the motivation that is needed to […]

Go with Certainty

Go with Certainty

“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? […]

Don’t Miss Out

Don’t Miss Out

Mark 6:47 The most significant part of today’s scripture that stuck out for me was (vs 52) “for they still didn’t understand the significance of the miracle of the loaves. Their hearts were too hard to take it in.” Are we like the disciples were at that time? Do we miss the miracles and blessings […]

Love Must be Sincere

Love Must be Sincere

What if I told you that love includes hate and discrimination? Romans 12:9 explains, “Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good”.  We are called to love without hypocrisy and abhor evil, as we cleave to what is good.  Within these words we are instructed to shrink back from anything that […]

Pray Always

Pray Always

Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18) Pray always, we pray as ordinary people who have an extraordinary God. We’re just normal, you and me.  Prayer is effective, not because of great men who pray, but because of a […]

Joyful?

Joyful?

Philippians 4 For Paul, joy is a defining attribute of the church. Does “joy” characterize the church today? If you knocked on the door of one of your non-Christian neighbors and asked them how they would describe Christians, would they say that Christians are people marked by a deep, consistent sense of joy? Would people […]

Set Yourself Free

Set Yourself Free

I’m sure many of you can relate to my latest experience. I, myself, have done it while working long hours and just being worn out. I’m talking about oversleeping; hitting the snooze button one too many times or not hearing the alarm at all. Ugh! I hate waking up in a panic, not knowing what day […]

Disguise

Disguise

 I have not been myself for awhile now. This morning, God was working on my heart and finally called me out during my quiet time with Him. “Stop pretending. Stop…pretending. I am here. Take off the mask. I see you. It’s okay to not be okay.” Wow. And in that moment I admitted to my […]

Redirecting

Redirecting

Acts 9:1-9 In our scripture today, Saul/Paul was on the road to Damascus for his own self-centered reasons; Jesus stopped him in his tracks and changed his life forever. Did you ever find yourself wondering how you got to a certain place in life? Maybe it was the last place you intended to go to, […]
