C.S. Lewis once wrote, “Of all the bad men, religious bad men are the worst.” James said this…”If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight reign on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.” (James 1:26)
We have access to power, strength and the ability to soar!As a father, I knew what my sons wanted, but I knew it was good for them to ask. God is the perfect Father and He is waiting for us to ask…then He wants us to do good things with the gifts He gives …
You can’t always choose your circumstances, but you can choose your attitude. Perhaps the most important choice you make today is, “will I carry a positive attitude or a negative attitude with me for all to see.” Ephesians 4:22, “…put off your old self, …to be made new in the attitude of your minds.” I’ve …
If our day is getting off to a rough start, it doesn’t have to end that way. Many times if I can focus on serving others and thank God for His faithfulness, my attitude and the way I feel changes. As believers, we should never allow ourselves to get caught up into negativity and allow …

Happy New Year! This will be a day that will see many make resolutions for the New Year. What were our resolutions last December 31? How many did we keep? Do we even remember what they were? For me, it’s better to make resolutions each day. It has been said that “each day is a …
Life is full of both blessings and challenges. It’s easy to take the blessings for granted…health, the love of God and family, freedom, food, shelter, employment and much more. The challenges can be overwhelming sometimes. If we aren’t careful, they will dominate our thoughts. None of us are strong enough to “handle” all of life’s …
