April 9, 2017 Today is Palm Sunday. As I was getting ready for church a song came on and I heard the line “He wants it all.” That line struck me. Our Lord wants it all from us. Everything. Not some things, everything. He wants us to trust Him with our hearts, our lives, our dreams, ourContinue reading “He Wants it All”

October 18, 2016 This morning I was listening to InTouch with Dr. Charles Stanley. He has been doing a series on convictions. Today’s message was called “Your Convictions about the Crucifixion.” I have the habit of listening to these sermons as I get ready in the morning. Today as I was listening he said somethingContinue reading “The Cost”

August 27, 2016 This morning I was reading Isaiah 61. I stopped on verse 4 that says “They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.” This verse made me think of the ancient ruins and places long devastated thatContinue reading “Broken But Not Yet Healed”

July 10, 2016 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. (Revelations 2:4 NKJV)If we were to sit back and examine our lives with an open mind and heart, what would we find? Do we love and pursue the Lord like we did in the beginning? Have we kept Him on theContinue reading “First Love”

June 15, 2016 The Bride of Christ is a term we use in church. We call ourselves His bride. We say He is coming back for His bride. But I wonder do we know what it means. Think about that for a minute. What is a bride? What does a bride do? How does sheContinue reading “Bride of Christ”

After reading in Exodus 19 about how God instructed the Israelites to consecrate and prepare themselves because He was going to come down on Mount Sinai.This is when they were going to receive the ten commandments. To come to God in worship,Continue reading “How do you Approach God?”

December 31, 2015 Don’t get comfortable in the dark. There are times in our Christian walk when we enter into a dark place, a dark time or a dark situation. It is important to not stay in the dark. Darkness has a way of lulling you to sleep spiritually by telling you tales that makeContinue reading “Don’t Get Stuck in the Dark”

August 22, 2015 I was looking at social media and taking in what some of the younger generation are posting. It breaks my heart to see how focused they are on the things of this world. How caught up they are in living for themselves and doing whatever feels good? Where does this craziness stop?Continue reading “Late Night Thoughts”

August 2, 2015 “Jesus, I too desire relationship with You. Rather than seek Your help today, I choose to seek Your beautiful heart. I want to respond to the love that You extended to me first” a prayer from the book The Pleasure of His Company by Dutch Sheets​ When I read that line, theContinue reading “Responding to His Love”

July 16, 2015 Isaiah 53:1-3 This passage really struck me. “He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to Him.” The world has taken the beautiful things and distorted them so much that we miss their true meaning. We walk around with a warped sense of beauty when we see through our natural eyes;Continue reading “Distorted Beauty”
