Wayward Heart
There it is again; the skipping and dancing What is it that you are doing and where are you trying to take me Oh, my heart Your normal rhythm is altered; there is now no pattern My body shimmers and shakes, yet not in fear My mind is at ease, my thoughts uninterrupted Life seems…

Look Up!
And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:14 ESV) The end is here!!! You may be reading this and shaking your head with a “this guy is crazy” smirk on your face, or maybe not. It…

Exceptionalism or Pride
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. (Proverbs 16:18 ESV) What comes to your mind when you hear the words “American Exceptionalism”? I admit, to me, the these words, when used by today’s politicians, echo a sense of pride; a destructive kind of pride neatly disguised to represent patriotism. Hey, I…

Watching and Praying
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,…

Life’s Distractions
Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long. (Psalm 25:5 ESV) Life! It so often takes some pretty sharp turns. There are times when we see them coming and sometimes we don’t but most of the time there is…

Commit Your Works to the Lord
Commit your works to the Lord and your thoughts will be established (Proverbs 16:3). Are you seeking the will of God for you; His direction and purposes for you? Well, you are not alone, which I’m sure is not the most comforting words you have heard today. In fact, it may cause some to wonder…

God of Love, God of Mercy
The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love (Psalm 103:8). The world seems to think words like this and others that talk about the mercy and love of God makes Him week; inept even. We are so caught up in the notion of “manliness” and science that the thought…

The Partisan Church
When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing before him with his drawn sword in his hand. And Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our adversaries?”. And he said, “No; but I am the commander of the…

Prepare Your Hearts
Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The goodness of God endures continually. Your tongue devises destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking righteousness. You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue. God shall likewise destroy you forever; He shall take you away…

Believe in the Holy Spirit
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor (Isaiah…

“I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not near; A Star shall come out of Jacob; A Scepter shall rise out of Israel, And batter the brow of Moab, And destroy all the sons of tumult.” (Numbers 24:17, NKJV) Greed has led to the demise of many from ages past and is even more evident today. Balaam

1. Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. For too many years of my life I walked in the counsel of the ungodly; in fact, I was ungodly. As I reflect on much of my

There is a flood of information coming our way on a hourly basis and much of it is very convincing. But is that information all true? The enemy deceives us with partial truths and the only way to counter these attacks is to know the truth. We do this by immersing ourselves in scripture and prayer

Someone asked me, “why does it matter that when know when Jesus returns, to what end do we look for signs?” How would you answer that question? Is that a question that you have even pondered? Tomorrow, or even the next breath, is promised to no one. That’s something we don’t often think about and

Instructions from Jeremiah 18: O America, can the Lord not do with you as he did to Israel and as a potter does with his clay? Look as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in His hand, O America! The instant the Lord speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom,

I am confronted daily with convictions that seem to run counter to a great deal of what many in the church hold to, especially prominent figures who so many look to for guidance. ” Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength” (Jer 17:5). This is especially true today after

Growing up in St. Elizabeth Jamaica I was pretty sheltered from the divisive politics that went on in the inner cities. People from competing parties sat together on election night to watch as the voting results are reported and at the end of the night the winning party’s supporter celebrate while the others argue a

I’ve heard many Christian political commentators explaining why they vote the way they do while almost condemning those who vote the other way. Don’t each person have the same right to vote on what’s important to him or her? Listening to two professing Christian radio hosts explain why they voted for Mitt Romney in 2012
