This last week in Facebook I read a story of a mother who is a believer and yet she felt that God had forsaken her. I was also reminded of a conversation with a man I play golf with when he made a statement, “If there is a God how could he allow my daughter… Read more »

Churches are Falling
During my study of the book of Nehemiah I noticed how Nehemiah was attacked for answering the call that God had for his life. As I studied these attacks, I noticed that these are the same attacks we see taking place today. Satan has the way of ‘reusing’ what has worked for centuries. I thought… Read more »
Signs of Our Time
This morning while I was on my walk, I came upon a small creek that dries up during the summer except for some pools. As I investigated the stream, I saw some small fish and thought how they need to move from where they are before it’s too late. If they do not, then they… Read more »
Government vs. We The People
Short term solutions always have long time consequences. What do I mean? Think of any solution the government has come up that we are not paying the consequences for today in all sorts of ways.

Deny God’s Truth and Forever Sorrowful
Isaiah 5 “What sorrow for those who drag their sins behind them with ropes made of lies, who drag wickedness behind them like a cart! What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark. What sorrow for those who are wise in… Read more »
Be An Overcomer
This morning as I was reading in the Bible Acts 23:11, where God tells Paul he will preach in Rome. God does not tell him the journey he will face while going to Rome, or how he will preach in Rome. If God was to tell you what you would have to face on the… Read more »
