My pastor has said “truth either offends or transforms you.” It is my experience that sometimes it is in the delivery of the truth that offense comes. When you go to people where they are, it is the living Word ablaze in your life that ministers to them. The Word must be planted deep inside... Continue Reading →
Keys to Success
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 →

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 →
