Promises Received by Faith
Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?” John 6:28 God’s promises are true and He is the Promise Keeper. Hebrews 10 tells us that He who promised is faithful. We sometimes use human standards to consider what faithfulness means. In today’s society, we see marriages that have failed […]
Ordinary Men and Women with Extraordinary Power
When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. Acts 4:13 Acts 4:13 describes the reaction of the people when they realized that Peter and John were unschooled, ordinary men. They were astonished […]
Do Unto Others
New Years Eve as I was going over some of my New Year goals, I recalled a bible verse in Matthew 7:12 the Message translation: Here is a simple rule- of- thumb guide for behavior. Ask yourself what you want people to do for you, then grab the initiative and do it for them. I […]
Light of the World
The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1 The people of Isaiah’s time walked in darkness, just as many people today walk in darkness. Jesus Christ, the Messiah, came as prophesied in […]
New Year Goals

Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was about a hundred years old – and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. Yet […]
Where is God?
It is not unusual for me to speak with people who ask if God exists, then where is He? Or if He is here why can’t we see Him? I always appreciate candid faith based discussions, because this is a good indicator that whoever is asking the questions is also seeking answers. God’s Word is […]
Do You Want to See Jesus?
Welcome to Making Space Mondays! As a community of faith, we are on a journey to make space for God so let’s start our week off with a question: ” Do you want to see Jesus?” There was man named Zacchaeus who wanted to see him. No doubt he had heard about him as word […]
Giving Thanks through Worship and Praise
Happy Thanksgiving! Today is a beautiful day which has been designated for giving thanks. It is also important to remember, though, that we do not need to wait until a Thursday in late November to give thanks to God! Let’s look at the account of Paul and Silas and how their praise and worship opened […]
God is Near to the Broken Hearted (Video Blog)
Today I want to share with you a video that I did a couple of summers ago when I was cleaning up some of my grandchildren’s toys at my house. As I was cleaning, God spoke to me about talking to our loved ones who are broken-hearted. God does that, doesn’t He? He takes the […]
