• A Fool’s Heart

    “A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; He rages against all wise judgment” (Proverbs 18:1). I am reminded of the story of Rehoboam, Solomon’s son. Rehoboam was ordained king over Israel following Solomon’s death but he ignored the wise counsel of the elders who served King Solomon and instead chose to heed the foolish advice of his friends who…

  • The Whisperer

    “A perverse man sows strife, and a whisperer separates the best of friends” (Proverbs 16:28). Gossip, there is no shortage if it these days. Television, social media, and other forms of technology has rapidly increased the volume and velocity of gossip. Even the whisperer speaks loud and bold in the face of a desensitized generation.…

  • Lying Lips

    Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, But those who deal truthfully are His delight. (Proverbs 12:22) Have you read the proverbs lately? If not, you should try reading one chapter per day for the next few months. I once read a chapter a day for one whole year and it still feels fresh…

  • The Hypocrite

    The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous will be delivered (Proverbs 11:9). Hypocrisy is as old as sin but the world is increasingly turning a blind eye to hypocrisy, just as they have turned a blind eye to sin. It is not just the world though; the church, which is…

  • Revelation 12 and September 23, 2017

    Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth (Revelation 12:1-2, NKJV). On September 23, 2017, one day from today, a…

  • God In The Midst

    Then He said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven (Luke 21:10-11). Even those who lack discernment can see that this last year has brought about an unprecedented…

  • They Helped – But With Evil Intent

    I am exceedingly angry with the [Gentile] nations at ease; For I was a little angry, And they helped—but with evil intent.”  (Zechariah 1:15) How quick we are to castigate another country or people; to call them immoral and evil. We develop programs and organizations to judge the ethics and determine whether they are violating our…

  • The Letters of Revelation 

    Revelation 2:1 “To the angel of the church of Ephesus write, ‘These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:  “To the angel of the church of [ ], write……”.  Why did He use the word “angel”? This has caused many…

  • Babylon the Great; A Harlot’s Tale

    After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory.  And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for…

  • Sin, Our National Shame

    “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all nations of the earth”. “But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the…

  • Grace??!

    So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, “Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.” and then those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius. But when the first came, they supposed that they would

  • Adrift in The Psalms

    Have you ever woke up from a dream with a message that overwhelms you, so much so that it consumes your entire day? It is so easy to stray off into the woods when the message is so simple, it requires no further thought. I don’t know if that is I did today after I

  • Let’s Pray Together

    I will lift up my eyes to the hills from whence comes my help. My help comes from the LORD who made heaven and earth. (Psalm 121:1-2). For those who have looked beyond the image in the mirror, the reality of worldwide chaos is very evident.  Even then, so many still refuse to believe in

  • Share Your Testimony

    Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name. Make known His deeds among the peoples (Psalms 105:1 NKJV). I’m often guilty of not sharing how God has worked in my life, even after He answers my prayers. I was permitted the opportunity over the past few weeks to hear others share their testimonies

  • Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits (Ps. 103: 1-2). The neglect for God’s grace and mercy is enough to justify sudden destruction; yet, by His great grace we live on.  We strive on

  • My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame but wholly lean on Jesus’ name; On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; all other ground is sinking sand (Edward Mote, 1797-1874). This is the song that suddenly began playing in my head after rising from

    We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near. (Ps 75:1, NKJV) I read this out loud as I knelt in reverent prayer yesterday morning. Immediately after which I closed my eyes to pause and allow His Spirit to guide me in my prayer.

  • The Abominable Union

    Do you indeed speak righteousness, you silent ones? Do you judge uprightly, you sons of men? No, in heart you work wickedness; you weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth (Ps. 58:1-2 NKJV). My ears began to ache at the incredible news, “starting Sunday, the Presbyterian Church in the U.S. will begin

    An appreciation for ones talent and hard work is often overlooked by those who benefit from them the most.  Strength and resilience through prayer will help you find the resolve to overcome.  Being a manager does not necessarily make a person an effective leader and the most effective leader may be a horrible bosses.  Regardless
