Luke 16:10-12 He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if you have not been faithful... Continue Reading →
It Doesn’t Matter
I was reading through the genealogy of Christ in Matthew 1, and I noticed something that has escaped my attention until now. There are four women listed in addition to Jesus mother, Mary. My curiosity peaked about the life of these women and why, above the men they represent, they are listed in this otherwise all male genealogy. Who were these women?
The Samaritan
The deeper lesson of the Luke 10:30-37 is found in I John 3:17 But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
Sowing Seeds
Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. I thought about the things that I want to see in the life of those I love and in the life of those I work with daily. I want good things for them all. A true relationship with Christ, love,... Continue Reading →
Starting Over
This year has been a year where God has led me to work on discipline and self-control. As the year started, I was diligent in seeking God and exercising discipline and self-control. As I ended my fast and went back to "regular living" I slacked off, and eventually found myself down a path I had never intended... Continue Reading →

In The Potter’s Hands
Isaiah 64:8 But now, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand. I often hear this verse in the context of "God's still working on me." We are clay in the Potter's Hand. He is shaping us and molding us,... Continue Reading →
Open the Floodgates
As we were in praise and worship tonight singing "Let it Rain, Let it rain, open the floodgates of Heaven" it occurred to me that typically I personally sing this sing talking about my own life. Thinking "God pour out your Spirit in my life. Open the flood gates of Heaven in my life." It... Continue Reading →
The Journey of Grace
There is a song by Big Daddy Weave called I am Redeemed. It is a powerful song that has ministered to me every time I heard it over the past few months. Wednesday, driving in my car, I had a revelation that I really am redeemed, it was if Christ was sitting in the car... Continue Reading →
In The Waiting
I was reminded today of a song by Greg Long that came out around the time of 9/11 called In the Waiting. It says: Pain, The gift nobody longs for, still it comes And somehow leaves us stronger When it's gone away Pray I try to pray for Your will to be done But I... Continue Reading →
