Have you ever had a negative encounter with someone from your church? I have. I wondered how she could consider herself a Christian after she acted that way? How can a Christian gossip against you? How can a Christian betray you? I love Jesus, and I believe that he died on the cross to forgive… Continue reading Stand Firm in Your Faith

Don’t Forget God
Drawing yourself away from God is a gradual process. Usually, its not dramatic. You start missing church more often, because other things come up. Your child could have sports on Sundays. Maybe you cannot wake up in time for the service. You no longer can find time to read the bible. Maybe your routine was… Continue reading Don’t Forget God
Why Would You Be Complacent, When You Could Be Faithful?

Pride can make you think you are great and mighty, and then be deflated in a flash. Pride is like a balloon, one little comment can be like a needle popping the balloon into tiny… Continue reading Boast About Your Faith In God
Go to God First
Even when we are not, God is always faithful to us. He is a good father. Good parents have to teach their children good behavior. I have found myself warning my kids, to not repeat bad behavior. I warn them to not do that again or I will take away screen time. I want them… Continue reading Go to God First
Need a Fill Up?
This morning I went to the store, and everybody smiled at me and said hello. Wow, I had no idea what a difference a few simple hello's and smiles can make in your morning. The friendliness fills you up with good feelings, and I couldn't help but be in a good mood. I grew up… Continue reading Need a Fill Up?
Trusting God with the Outcome
Have you ever wondered what work you are called to do? I often wonder if I am listening to the Lord and doing his work or trying to do my own thing. When I am listening to the Lord, I have to slow down, pray and wait and move forward taking steps, not sure where… Continue reading Trusting God with the Outcome
Pray Your Worries Away
I have been reading the bible each morning. It so easy to find an excuse not to read the bible or not to exercise, and I am guilty on both counts. After I battle all the excuses, and exercise, I feel great for the rest of the day. I have more energy and a positive… Continue reading Pray Your Worries Away
