Are we looking out at what is going on in the world? Are we looking to Jesus, God the Father? As we read God’s word we find He tells us His prophets, His people did both. King David in the book of Psalm tells of David’s sadness and sorrow...
Looking Forward?
Many say they are looking forward to the day of the Lord. Should we be looking forward to this day or should we be LIVING forward to this day? Scripture clearly tells us the day of the Lord is a day of judgement, a day of darkness and not...
Instruction?
How often do we buy something and decide we don’t need the instructions to use it or put it together? God’s word is filled with LIFE! With life giving, life saving instruction. All God’s ways are good. Yet, we are all stiff necked at times. How often do we...
Forgiveness?
Jesus gave us a wonderful example to understand forgiveness. God forgives much! How much do we forgive? Matthew 6:14-15 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you.

I asked the Lord, “How do I get myself in these messes?” The one word answer was very clear, “GULLIBLE.” I cried, “Lord, I don’t want to be gullible any more.” We all can be gullible. Something that started as a way for family and friends to stay in...
Change?
As Christ followers we would know the story of Moses and that he was chosen to lead the Hebrews out of Egypt to a new land. Have we read carefully the circumstances of the Hebrew’s / Israelite’s that God made a way out of Egypt for them? The king...
True Leaders?
True leaders put those they lead before themselves, their needs before their own. Who are we following? Who will we choose to follow? Jesus laid down His life for ours. Jesus lead in love and peace. Jesus fed the five thousand, healed the sick and forgave freely. 1 John...
Love?
God is love! If love is patient and love is kind where is our patience? Where is our kindness? If Jesus fed the five thousand and healed the sick. Where is our kindness? Where is our love? If there was no hate, no malice, and no deceit found in...
