Scars or the tough experiences in life are meant to make us better. To help us turn the page on worldliness, and taste and see the goodness God has for us.  These scars won’t leave positive memories unless we allow ourselves to be healed.  God will not force anything on us.  We must want it.  [...]

“Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever.  Amen.”  (Ephesians 3:20–21) Most of us are easily drawn into the [...]

“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”  (Romans 12:2) Sometimes our minds get filled with all kinds of stuff that keep [...]

So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God's holy people. You are members of God's family.  (Ephesians 2:19, NLT) Family means a lot to God.  After all, He established it.  God made man so He would have someone else to love and have relationship with.  [...]

For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

Climate change is a topic of discussion today because of excessive temperatures, increased natural disasters, and other world events.  But some deny it.  In the same way, there seems to be increased diseases and illnesses of all kinds.  Some deny that too.  Man can be in denial all he wants but what the word of [...]

I will exalt you, my God and King, and praise your name forever and ever.  I will praise you every day; yes, I will praise you forever.  Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise!  No one can measure his greatness.  (Psalms 145:1-3)) Isn’t it amazing how we consistently talk about how good [...]

In John 20:17, Jesus gave a most perfect example of why to not treasure things in the world.  It reads, “Don’t cling to me,” Jesus said, “for I haven’t yet ascended to the Father. But go find my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and [...]

For years I've heard people say they don't eat leftovers for various reasons.  Personally, I feel food tastes better the second day.  It gives the seasoning more time to blend, especially holiday meals.  Everyone is entitled to their opinion about leftovers, but if you grew up dirt poor (as my family did) you didn’t put [...]
