  God doesn’t forget you, abandon you or let go of you. Not even when you have a bad day, forget to pray or think you are too busy to read your Bible. He wants to hear from us, just like we want to hear our children’s deepest thoughts. He want us to have good […]

  The following principle holds true whether leading a nation, business, team or family: “For lack of guidance a nation falls, but many advisors make victory sure.” (Proverbs 11:14) Don’t lead alone! First of all, ask God for wisdom, then seek out “many advisors.” I never make a MAJOR decision without seeking the council of […]

  In the busyness of career and family, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and to even get discouraged. Remember, God will never give up on you! He loves you when your busy, when you worry and even when your “cranky.” Paul wrote the following from a Roman prison: “being confident of this, that He who […]

  There’s no getting around it. We live in a dark world of terror, promiscuity and politicians who many times put their personal agendas or the party’s agenda ahead of what is good for our state or  nation. If we focus on the darkness it will infect our spiritual life and our relationships with family and […]

  Paul gives us all a great lesson in humility in 1Corinthians 4:7…”For who makes you different than anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?” Every victory, check and award is because of gifts and blessings […]

  Why does God want us to be obedient? The 10 Commandments…why should we submit to the “rules?” The answer is simple…so that it will go well with us, and our families. Moses shares what God told him in Deuteronomy 5:29: “Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep my commands […]

  God would be pleased and we would gain wisdom and peace if we brought every decision, meeting, problem and project before Him. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6

  Agnostics, seekers and believers all ask questions about God. If all of the questions could be answered it would put us on the same level with God…man wants that, but it will never happen. One question I hear sometimes is “If Jesus is ‘the way, the truth and the life’ (John 14:6) what about […]

  This has always been a hard discipline for me, but I know it to be true…the busier I get, the  more I should pray. When we become physically and mentally drained, it’s easy to become spirituality drained as well. Spiritual nourishment comes from God’s Word and with prayer. No Bible verses today, but instead two […]

  If you’re past mistakes are robbing you of your joy, confess them once and for all to Christ who has already paid the price for them!  Then, forget them…God has! He has cast them as far as the east is to the west, to remember them no more.” Jesus wants you to walk in peace […]
