A Simple Thank You

Most often when we pray we have long wish lists but are they needs or wants? Whatever the case may be, I challenge you (and myself) to say a different kind of prayer today. Instead of asking let's give thanks for the things we already have, especially those that we take for granted. Thank you… Continue reading A Simple Thank You

Humble Beginnings

In today's verse, Moses warns Israel against forgetting. They were a stubborn people and often times turned their backs on God. This timeless advice still applies to date. As we grow in ministry, career, knowledge and/or status, let us not forget where we came from or better yet....where God rescued us from. The higher we… Continue reading Humble Beginnings

The Woman and Her Tiny Umbrella

One day, while driving in the rain, I couldn't help but notice a woman walking in the street with a tiny umbrella.

Here I… Continue reading The Woman and Her Tiny Umbrella

The Bible is clear; the wage of sin is death, a price already paid by Jesus himself. All that is left to do is recognize that… Continue reading I Forgive Me

Inside and Out

Seems like lately we've become more conscious about what we eat, or do, in order to maintain or obtain the ideal physique we desire. This is good, but how much time do we invest in building our heart? This reminds me of Paul's advice to TimothyĀ ā€œPhysical training is good, but training for godliness is much… Continue reading Inside and Out

God the Parent

In the story of Cain and Abel, God punished Cain for murdering his brother but still took care of him so he wouldn't suffer the same fate. Ā A good parent corrects (not abuses) their child. We LOVE God when HE blesses us, but get upset with Him when He allows us to suffer the consequences… Continue reading God the Parent
