Who is Watching?
Many times, we think that no one sees us when we are doing certain things. Even when we think we are alone, somehow someone sees. How do things we think are done in secret become knowledge to others? Are we alone and the things we do hidden? I ponder this thought because of the stories…

Comfort and Laziness
In the hard times, we lean on the Lord. We cry out in prayer, we seek His presence, and we go to church—desperate for hope, healing, and answers. But when life gets easier, when blessings flow and peace returns, comfort can quietly turn into laziness. We stop showing up. Not just in prayer, but in…

Stones In Your Pocket
There are two types of stones that we carry in our pocket. One stone is positive or encouraging. The other is cruelty and condemnation. There is a story in the book of John (John 8:3-11) that talks about how a woman was being accused of doing wrong. The people wanted to stone her to death.…

Agree to Disagree
Not everyone you meet will agree with you 100%. We live in a world where most people want you to agree with them. If you don’t, you are wrong. I do not expect anyone to agree with everything I do. Lately I have been getting more comments on my blog. Which I want people to…

One of the biggest reasons they leave is because they were offended. Why were they offended? They did not have peace. Why did they not have peace? They…

If you Stand Still, You are not Moving Forward
The goal in life is to move forward, to succeed. The question we should ask ourselves is “Are we moving forward?”. Some may say yes, based on their financial situation, or their career. The real question is “Are we moving forward or are we doing the same thing day in and day out?”. This is…

Can you work off Sin?
Religion is a practice of something, the Bible calls this works. Works cannot take care of sin. (Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”) We go to Church and do good things because…

Your Own Advice
Problems come and go in our lives. Sometimes we know the answers, but we go to someone else for advice. As I thought about this, it occurred to me that we are not really looking for advice. We want someone else to make a decision for us. We already have the answer. So why do…

The Unexpected
Life sometimes is not what we think it should be. As children we dream of many things. We have high hopes for things: i.e… our career, our family, traveling, or finances. The list is different for everyone. But the real expectations should be focused on what the Lord has for us. Then and only then…
