Sukkot, also referred to as Feast of Booths or Tabernacles, was a celebration feast where God told Moses to dwell in tents for 7 days. This was a celebration that happened after they harvested their land. Now, it also represents the 40 years spent in the desert as God guided them through it. So, we…
I believe the Christian family is a micro kingdom of God. When I say “Christian”, I don’t mean by mere identity, but a family whose parents have made the commitment to set aside their family for God. When operating under God’s order and Christ’s headship, not perfect by any means, I believe we get a…
Romans 15:13 https://my.bible.com/bible/59/ROM.15.13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope." One thing I have learned is that there is a constant ebb and flow in life regarding our emotions and feelings. This is natural,…
Just recently, I was vocalizing my lack of confidence in myself over something and the person I was talking to, an unbeliever, gently reprimanded me for the words I was using against myself. It wasn’t that I was embarrassed at her correction, but I immediately felt a gut check. My words and actions were not…
I usually have an idea of what I want to write, but I have been blank for the past two days. I started listening to a song called “God of More Than Enough”. I am sitting here thinking...what if? What if we actually bought into this concept that God really is more than enough? More…
In the Dry Places “Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools. They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.” ~…
The Spartans were a brutal people. They knew how to go into battle. If you have seen the movie “300”, then you will get a very theatrical visual of this. I am not saying “300” is a historical documentary, but there is some truth to it. The Spartans would actually decide, shortly after birth, if…
“Adonai, teach me your way so that I can live by your truth; make me single-hearted so that I may fear your name. I will thank you, Adonai my God, with my whole-heart and I will glorify you forever” ~ Psalm 86:11-12 This Psalm passage isn’t one of the more popular ones. You won’t see…
I grew up in what you might call an awkward paradox of a Christian walk. I didn’t grow up in an atheistic home, but I didn’t exactly grow up in church either. While my parents strove to raise us up in a Godly home, we started out in a very unhealthy, dysfunctional church and because…
So, I want to talk about freedom for a little bit. Well, type...not talk. But, I'm going to just get to the point. You are not free for you; you are free for others. “Others” includes our Creator. Why do you think we were created? We were created to worship God. THAT is the…
