Matt. 20:28, Col. 3:23 “Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.” ― Mother Teresa. Jesus could have just sat around and commanded everyone to do anything He wanted done, but He didn’t do that. Jesus specialized in small tasks that everyone else tried to avoid. He washed feet, […]
Philippians 3:20 says, “But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ”. As I believe is often a large risk any time, we read the Bible too casually, these words may first appear to be cute, “spiritual sugar”, that are meant to make us feel good. […]
I had an experience at the grocery store recently and I felt the need to share. I truly believe things happen for a reason and it always turns out to be a Godly lesson. I was pushing my fully loaded grocery cart out to my car. As I looked up, there was an elderly man walking […]
“Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.” (Romans 8:18) Why did this happen; why, why, why? There are many unanswered questions in this world that lead us to ask why. A Christian friend and I were talking about another friend that died way too early in […]
2 Corinthians 5:14-15 says, “For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.” Friends, what “compels” you? What might cause […]
Today, I am struggling with knowing I have family members that have not yet been saved; close family members that I have tried to teach, preach and have had heart to heart chats with about how their lives would be changed if they just submitted to a life in Jesus Christ. I try to be […]
I’m noticing the older I get, the more I reminisce about “the good old days”. I miss the simplicity of my childhood, the friends I had, the games we played and of course my parents. At the time I was living those years though, I couldn’t wait to grow up. I never really liked the […]
When we say these words, is that our greatest hope for the people we are speaking to, or do we have a greater desire for their coming year? Let me be clear…listen…your happiness is important to me; however, my greatest desire for you in 2020 is that you would impact the world around you in Jesus’ […]
Mary was an ordinary girl. God could have saved the world any way He chose but he chose an ordinary girl to do extraordinary things. What would make you any different? An ordinary teenager that was just going through life dealing with teenager stuff and everyday things. God never chooses people based on their status in […]
As 2019 is winding down, I have been doing some personal reflecting on the past year. It has been full of uncertainties, loss of hope at times, financial burdens, health scares and even some relationship struggles; but, one thing has remained steadfast and constant and that is the presence of our Lord. In all storms […]
