Don’t Be Afraid

Don’t be afraid to take a big step when God is leading you. Don’t be afraid to move when He tells you to move. Don’t be afraid to jump when He says to jump. These can be the greatest moments of your life. As long as you hold onto his hand and never take your…

It’s Time to Clean House

Early this morning I was reading the chapter below – ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬-‭13‬ ‭and I started to think about the present day church. When was the last time that you heard of someone calling out sin in church? Paul was no joke and he gave these churches no excuse to not deal with their sin….

New Wineskin

“And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. For the wine would burst the wineskins, and the wine and the skins would both be lost. New wine calls for new wineskins.” – Mark 2:22 NLT This verse has been on my mind so much lately. God is pouring out His new wine, but are…

Can I really Trust God?

We have all been disappointed at one point or another. Think back on your life and you will find many times that you were let down. What can be hard to deal with is when you are let down by someone close to you. Maybe a parent used to promise things and never came through…

Choose Thankfulness

  Train yourself to consciously thank God when you open your eyes in the morning. He taught me this a long time ago and it helps to squash any negative thoughts that may be trying to sneak in. Thank Him for a new day. Thank Him for life because there are those who didn’t wake…

Word For Wives

Marriage isn’t easy and anyone who is married knows I’m telling the truth. I firmly believe that your marriage is what you make it and put into it. I don’t pretend to know it all or that my marriage is perfect. We have had more than our share of issues and we still do, but…

Trust Him

Sometimes the road that God has you on will not make sense to others. It might not even make sense to you. That’s why it’s called a FAITH walk. We are not meant to understand. We are just meant to trust and obey. Our human nature wants to know everything so we can plan and…

Let Go!

In order to experience the fullness of God and all He has in store for us, we have to be willing to relinquish control totally to Him. The need to control is fear based. Many people talk the talk but do you walk the walk? If God asked you right now to drop everything and…

Keep Your Eyes on Him

We all will go through various trials in this life. Some will be harder than others and there will be some that are excruciatingly painful. These times can be so hard to go through but we can make it. It is tempting during these times to focus on our feelings and our circumstances.   I…

Change

Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart And do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way]. – Proverbs 3:5-6 AMP   The picture you see…

Are you Ready to Be Free?

   I want to talk about something that may not be too popular but it is something that we all need to hear. Those who know me know that I will always tell you the truth. I will tell it in love but I will give it to you straight. I have always said that…

Seasons

   Every season has a purpose and prepares for the next season. You may find yourself in a season of sowing or a season of reaping. If you your children are very small, that is a season for you or maybe your children have all moved out. Maybe you are in a season of preparation…

What If You Knew That This Day Was Your Last?

  How differently would you live your life if you knew that today was your last day to live? So many of us can get distracted with things that,  if we really weigh them out, are not all that important. How differently would you treat those around you? Would you reach out to someone who…

What Will He Say to You?

    I believe there are going to be a lot of surprises when we get to heaven one day. There is a saying that Joyce Meyer has that says, “Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.” The first time I heard this…
