A Soft Answer Turns Away Wrath
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…

Willingness
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
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…

The Art of Deception; The Rewards of Faithfulness
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…

Searching
Someone standing in the mirror keeps pointing out something in you, something that is trying to claw its way out of a pit of fear and confusion. Reminding you that for most of your life you have searched for signs of what is your destiny; that you have made every effort to help others and…

Life’s Diary
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…

Victory Over Doubt
Proverbs 3:5-7 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes, fear the Lord and depart from evil (NKJV). In the search for peace, our troubled hearts often cast…

Sacrifice
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…

Let’s Take a Walk
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…

“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

“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 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 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

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

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

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

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

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
