One Of Your Most Important Mission Fields
Deuteronomy 6:5-7 gives us, as Christian parents, our job description, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” Parenting can be hard. The hours are long and…

Gather Together For Worship
I want to do my part to encourage my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ to keep on keeping on, to make the effort to come to worship, and to show their love and good works towards their fellow man. Hebrews 10:24-25 says, “And let us be concerned about one another in order to promote love and good works, not staying away from our worship meetings, as some habitually do, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you…
Now Is The Time
How is 2021 going for you so far? Here we are four weeks in already. Is it going how you planned? For me personally, it is not. My family had a wedding planned for earlier in the month that had to be postponed. Everything that we had planned has been turned upside down. At first, I thought it would be a stressful time, but then I realized that God was not surprised by any of this. Proverbs 16:9 says, “A person’s…
Pray – Trusting God In a Hurting World
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” Romans 12:18 Just a week ago, we were still wishing one another, “Happy New Year”. With the events that are happening in our nation, things can feel far from happy. It felt surreal to see the events that took place last week. I wonder where has respect for one another gone? Where has respect for our nation’s capital and the leaders of our country…
Show Them We Are Christians By Our Love
Raise your hand if you thought 2021 would magically make all right in the world. Wishful thinking if we thought a flip of the calendar would make all our worries go away. There is still so much uncertainty and unknown swirling around us. It seems it is not too different than it was back in the days when Noah lived. Genesis 6:5-6 says, “When the Lord saw that human wickedness was widespread on the earth and that every inclination of the human…
Coming To Know God
Have you ever known someone who really seemed to know and love Jesus? Like really KNOW Him? Maybe, you wondered how in the world someone comes to a place in life where they truly know and encounter the One True Living God. I will start by saying, “No one gets close to God on accident.” Jeremiah 29:13 says, “And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.” So, there you have it. …
We Just Need Jesus
New year, new me! Isn’t that what we hear so often each January? I have said that, failed that and laughed at that many times. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!” We don’t need a new year to make changes in our lives, we just need Jesus. After going through this past year, we have no idea what this new…
