When I decided to quit being at war with God, (like a commander surrendering the city to an invader) I wanted to know what were the terms of surrender. How about I give him 10% of my income and the rest his mine to use, however I want? How about I give him Sunday morning […]
We know that when we come to God we must believe that he exists and that it is worth our bother searching him out, for he will reward those that diligently search. We’re told in Proverbs to make it our primary goal to get to know him more and then he will direct our paths. […]
Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; Hebrews 12:12 Take a minute and watch the people around you, maybe go over to the mall or the grocery store. Notice how few people are smiling, walking with a firm step full of life, standing up straight, looking people in the eye. […]
The Lord gives and he takes away, blessed be the name of the Lord! Job 1:22 Now, come on, be real! Is that the first thing you think of when you have lost something very very important to your happiness? It sure is not what I think of, “Blessed be the name of the Lord”. […]

We have all heard the saying, “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” As people of faith, this actually makes sense. The world wants me to take God’s gifts for granted, find fault with my reality, compare with the illusion of other’s reality and wish my reality would just magically change. / Faith suggests that […]
Someone points out that worry can take over and have no clear trigger, be there all the time and even become “comfortable” or at least familiar ..

John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. I saw this verses’ goal as being to remind me to let go of trying to be strong. When the Bible tells me […]
