For the past two or three decades the word “awesome” has been used to describe everything from ice cream, amusement park rides, clothes, kitchen cabinets…you name it. We have diminished the word “awesome.” Now I find it hard to find the words to describe what Jesus has done for us. He took our sins on […]
Chuck Swindoll has said, “we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.” We can choose an attitude that encourages those around us and helps their day. Or, we can choose a self-centered, negative attitude that brings people down and makes our day unproductive. “The greatest day in your life […]

Be present. We all know how it feels when the person we are talking to is distracted…Perhaps they are glancing at their phone or watch. This is another way that we need to be more like Jesus. He is always fully engaged when we talk to Him—when we desire to touch His heart in prayer. […]
Jesus wants us to give Him our sin, so that He can give us His righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21). He wants us to give Him our worries, doubts and fears so that He can give us His peace. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take […]
A pastor once said, we all should have a “God basket.” Whatever anxiety, worry or fear we have, we should write it on a piece of paper and put it in the basket. Don’t take the worry out of God’s basket the following day. Instead, trust Him with it. He can handle it better than […]
