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).

God’s Sustaining Mercies
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…

The Prejudice of Pride
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…

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…

Rise Above the Petty
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…
