1 Corinthians 3:16 (https://my.bible.com/moments/3895437047414862058) "Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?" This is a HUGE question. Many of you probably immediately answered, “YES!” But, the question I would follow that up with is: "Do you?" Do you really believe this? I wonder, if we truly accepted…
“So now that I’m old and my hair is gray, don’t abandon me, God, till I have proclaimed your strength to the next generation, your power to all who will come, your righteousness too, God, which reaches to the heights. God, you have done great things; who is there like you? You have made me…
Euodoo - yoo-od-o-o - Greek word for the word prosper that means "to help on the road". It's funny to me that people take this word and the biblical idea of blessing and turn it into a carnal, materialistic thing. I hear people that follow the teaching of "prosperity" and use the blessing of…

"The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul." - Gilbert K. Chesterton "Jesus is a teacher who doesn't just inform our intellect but forms our very loves. He isn't content to simply deposit new ideas into your mind; he…
I wrote this piece several months back. As with many things I write, I sit on it for some time and go back to it…to see if there is any validity to it, or to add something more. This is a culmination of two pieces written at different times as I have earnestly sought the…
Ephesians 1:18 (https://my.bible.com/bible/59/EPH.1.18) "having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints," Too often, I feel we treat God like our Sunday School teacher. If we do well, we get a smiley…
“When He saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were harried and helpless like sheep without a shepherd. ~ Matt 9:36 When I hear the song “Oh Come Emmanuel”, I immediately think of the above scripture.
