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…

Why do you beat your chest and speak with such veracity? Why is ego your platform and pride your microphone? Why do you speak into what you have no power to do and speculate about what you do not know? Why are you controlled by your imagination? Is your word able to create what you

Consider the results of your efforts when you approach them with a willing heart; a willing spirit that challenges the shortcomings of the body. In your prayers, ask God for a willing spirit to sustain you (Psalms 51:12) because willingness does not recognize barriers, only obstacles. Willingness gives freely; it does not require a contract

Obedience Remove from all that you do, the fear of repercussion, challenge, failure, or unwanted burden and you may find a need to act out of love. For love is walking in obedience to our Father’s commands (2 John 6), which are not burdensome (1 John 5:3). Remove the blinders of sin that cause us

Proverbs 6:16 These six things the Lord hates, yes seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that are swift in running to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and one who sows discord among brethren (NKJV). We

Psalm 25: 1-7 To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be ashamed. Let not my enemies triumph over me. Indeed, Let no one who waits on you be ashamed. Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause. Show me Your ways, O

SACRIFICE A solemn expression, lade with images of broken hearts and troubled minds. A message on the cross, accompanied by grief and darkness; yet defeated, giving way to joyful songs and divine light. A message often misunderstood, dismissed as foolishness to those who are perishing; but accepted as the power of God to those who

Can I convince you to take a trip with me? Better yet, will you save me the trouble of attempting to convince you and willingly join me down a narrow, rocky, road that is often only revealed one step at a time? Sometimes you will feel as if you are all alone; sometimes the horizon
