In our journey of faith, we often find ourselves at a crossroads between living for ourselves and living for God. It's a struggle that many believers face - the pull between our earthly desires and our spiritual calling. But what does it truly mean to live a life that glorifies God rather than ourselves?...

This scenario is strikingly similar to how most churches function, where a few dedicated individuals serve the needs of many....

When I think about my walk with God, I know that I have been deeply devoted to Him since 2004. The day that I walked into the church, I submitted my life to Him in every way possible. I try to give God the best of who I am at all times. Within my devotion to God I see His hand on my life. He is a faithful God and always follows through with His promises.But is my devotion a requirement of God? We ...

Queen Esther to save the people!Sometimes when we go through life, there is a part of us that wants to willingly save people.

Over the weekend I had a conversation with my granddaughter Haveah “who’s 6”.  She tells me about school and how’s she’s doing well.  They recently put her into a gifted program, which makes me very proud.  She explains to me that a girl in her class was cheating off her paper a while back and she told the teacher.   According to my grand baby there have been several issues with the same little gi...

2 Corinthians 9:8And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed; God’s grace is like a room full of treasures. There is an abundance of value in the things of God. The longer that we walk with God the more we consume and handle God’s most valuable commodities. God who is rich in grace and mercy wel...

Psalm 73:1Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. As I sit here and think about life, I found myself jealous of people who are free to be themselves; not that I am not genuinely authentic, but there are things in Christ tha...

Type your new text here. During my younger years in life, I realized I was never the tough guy. I really never wanted to deal with confrontation. Although, I wasn’t the tough guy I would come against aggressive opposition. When faced with the aggression I had a choice to make, either tuck tail and run or meet the opposition. As I became older, I realized I just couldn’t walk away from certain thin...

Genesis 3:22, KJV: "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:” Adam’s soul was only exposed to the goodness of God. His only reference to life was the experience that God had given him. When Adam chose to step outside of the will of God he experienced some...

Philemon 1 PAUL, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,The Apostle Paul, was called by God and inspired by the Holy Spirit to write the majority of the New Testament. The things that God revealed to Paul for our lives has made an impact for centuries. His writings are the very words that Christians are to learn and to live. As we ...

Eph 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:There was a long period of time that I lived outside of Christ. I knew the concept of Christ very well. I understood that He died for the sins of the world and that through faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ...

Godly information is chaotic to a sinful mind. The information is so powerful and toxic that an immediate interaction disrupts the psyche. The Word comes in quickly and power and begins to reorganize the intents of the heart. It cuts sharply and deeply that it produces agony to a sinful mind (Hebrews 4:12). When this information hits our soul we attempt to organize the information in old categorie...

Husbands, God has given us a precious gift in a wife. She is the heartbeat of the family. She is the one who does all of the intangible things. What would life be like without our beautiful wives. Therefore husbands love your wives, even as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it.Christ made a great sacrifice for love. He relinquish himself so that we may live. Husbands there are sacrifice...

As we grow older in life priorities are a major part of life. We can almost say that what we prioritize is our life. I believe if we surveyed and tallied the surveys around the world God would not be the main priority. We get so busy in life that we forget about God. We tend to put life in categories based on:ImportanceComfortWorkOthersWhen we fail to put God first we miss out on the life that was...

The mystery of “what if?” There are so many obstacles and decisions in life that we will never fulfill all of our dreams. Our imagination is powerful and vast. We can think up so many things that if we are not careful the “what ifs” can take in many directions.As I pondered my life, I realize there are many “what ifs” at every point of my life. Some of the what ifs would have led to positive outco...

The greatest obstacle in a marriage is individualism. When God designed the institution of marriage He intended for a man and a woman to become one. You hear people say that marriage is a 50-50 deal. I disagree. A successful marriage is just 100%. Everyday as individuals we do not operate at our optimal level. When the husband is operating at 40% the wife needs to pick up the 60% and vice versa. W...

There are many seasons in our lives. There are good days and bad days. There is life and ultimately there will be death. Each day brings its own challenges, disappointments, joy, peace, and accomplishments. Our lives are totally moving from one point to another point; from bliss to dissatisfaction. We must be able to endure the vicissitude of life in order to grow. Every moment comes for a lesson....

Romans 11:33Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!God is wonderful and glorious. As I write this it is hard for me to gather the thoughts to describe Him. Is far out of reach of my knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. The only way that I know Him is because He revealed Himself to me. Without this revelatio...
