  • The Lord Your God Is A Merciful God

    How often do we find ourselves looking back at a situation and thinking to ourselves, “Shew, thank God for His mercy during that time period!”? Or maybe we don’t even realize how we were delivered God’s mercy until it is pointed out to us at a later time. I know it sure seems that both…

  • Cast Ye Worries

    I have long lived by the saying, “An idle mind is the devil’s playground.” And it is oftentimes the very first thing that I try to gently share to others when they disclose that they too struggle with a mental illness of any kind. With having battled to not only maintain living with but to…

  • Obedience

    Do you ever find yourself after a period of strife, coming to a realization that, to put it simply, “knocks your socks off?”  The last couple weeks I’ve been struggling, and while I honestly fully expected it to be hectic, in reality given the circumstances, it hasn’t been quite as bad as I was expecting…

  • Like A Child

    He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes…

  • Not A Slave To God

    Recently, God has put Romans 12:1 on my heart and while a whole bunch of things come to mind that I could write about, none of them have seem to hit that mark. What’s funny is that like usual, now that it is in my heart, it seems everyone is either preaching, teaching, sharing or…

  • Psalm 56

    Sitting in church on Sunday morning, I was struggling with a heavy burden hidden deep within my heart. While we were there to celebrate the dedication of my sister I just couldn’t help but for my mind to keep going back to that burden… and it was weighing heavily on me as the guilt was…

  • No More Cherry Picking

    “Yet if you devote your heart to him and stretch out your hands to him, if you put away the sin that is in your hand and allow no evil to dwell in your tent, then, free of fault, you will lift up your face; you will stand firm and without fear. You will surely…

  • Change Your Narrative

    Sitting here yesterday the message, “Change your narrative” came to me out of nowhere. To be honest I can’t really say it came as a surprise because if I was to be honest, I’d admit that it is one that I truly needed to hear. Why? Well, I’m not a very confident person and I…

  • Solomon’s Grace

    One of the most interesting people in the bible for me was (King) Solomon, outside of Jesus and the apostles, of course. He was the perfect example in my opinion of how we can humble ourselves and reap more than our hearts ever desire by doing so. How you can have the whole world (or…

  • Avoid The Division

    As Christians, you will oftentimes hear it be said that you need to be careful of the company that you keep. You are urged to keep like minded company, to stay within the Christian community, and to surround yourself with those that hold themselves to the same moral compass as you do. And just as…
