  • What is Faith anyway????

    What is Faith anyway????

    How many expressions have you heard that use the word “faith”? “Keep the faith”, “where is your faith?”, “leap of faith”, “act of faith”….and many more. Well, what is faith, anyway?? I have come to some conclusions about “faith” that I want to share with you and encourage you in your FAITH!

  • “Thy Kingdom Come!”

    “Thy Kingdom Come!”

    God is returning community to ministry. The way it began in the book of Acts in the Bible. Actually, in Genesis. If you look at it, God always began with an individual or a family; Abraham, Noah. A community of people or person who loved and served Him. With these, He would change the world!

  • Transition….It’s Not Just a Stage of Labor…It’s a Stage of Life!

    T-R-A-N-S-I-T-I-O-N It’s one of the most painful parts of labor and delivery when giving birth. And I know from experience because I’ve done it twice! Any mother knows, it is the most painful but also the most productive of the labor process. You gain new focus, a new resolve to get busy with the process…

  • What’s Important to God?

    I have always been astounded at what is important to God. That’s why I hate religion! And I believe that’s why Jesus hated religion too. It was because of how unlike God religion was in Jesus’ day. Always has been and still is today!

  • Misplaced Allegiance = Misplaced Worship

    WORSHIP is not about our music, it’s about our allegiance! (loyalty or commitment of a subordinate to a superior or of an individual to a group or cause. Loyalty , faithfulness, fidelity ,obedience, homage, devotion.)

  • Forgiveness; It’s Not Cheap, but Why We Can’t Afford NOT to Give it Away!

    Forgiveness; It’s Not Cheap, but Why We Can’t Afford NOT to Give it Away!

    I’ve done some stupid things in my life. Some I laugh at and some, I don’t realize just how stupid until I am living in the regret of what I did later in life and it is quite painful. You see, the biblical truth of “you reap what you sow” is a natural law as…

  • So Close to the Floor

    So Close to the Floor

    I never knew You lived so close to the floor

  • The Battle for Middle Earth

    If you are familiar at all with J.R.R. Tolkien, you know Middle Earth.  Middle-Earth is the setting of much of Tolkien’s writing that forms the background to his LORD OF THE RINGS. Gondor, Isengard, Rohan, Minas Tirith, Rivendell, The Shire and more ….all regions within Middle Earth. And of course, who can forget, Mordor!

  • A Beautiful Picture of God’s Heart

    One of my favorite stories in the Bible is in Luke 18. It is a beautiful picture of how God sees things. A beautiful picture of His heart of mercy and a stark reminder that without it, we are all sunk!

  • PRAISE…..what does it mean for our lives?

    I was half asleep this morning, upon waking, which is when most of my great ideas come, when I starting pondering the idea of PRAISE! Yes, in the sense of praising God, but simply about what it means. What does it mean to our ordinary, everyday life?

  • Taking Back Our Health!

    Healthcare professionals are wonderful gifts from God! They help us in trauma, and life threatening situations and can help us answer some of the most complex questions we have about our health. But we cannot get to the place where we give all of our power and choices for health over to them.

  • Build Your House, Build Your Nation

    I think of my children often.  About as often as I take a breath or have a heartbeat. They are in my thoughts and prayers like breathing. It is impossible for me to think about life without thinking of them. And although they’re grown now with lives of their own, the relationships that have been…
