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…

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.

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

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

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.

Then He charged them, saying, “Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.” (Mark 8: 15 NKJV) Leaven, the ingredient used to puff up bread, is akin to pride which is the ingredient that puffs us up. I have not always heeded to this warning that now extends well

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.
