It is easier to dwelling on what we don’t have, rather then being thankful for what we do have. We are not promised a perfect life, or even an easy life, but we are promised something so much better!a [More]

  Although trust is just a five letter word, it carries a load of meaning. It has the ability to make or break a business, a marriage and even a person. Its power cannot be understated. Where trust exists between two business partners, a business can thrive. Where trust exists in a marriage, that marriage will prosper, joy will flourish, love will blossom. It’s fundamental to our success. It’s fundamental to our very existence. And yet many of us struggle with trust. Life has hurt us…people we have loved let us down or even betrayed us, wounding us. We guard oursel... [More]

The news lately has been flooded with stories that are upsetting to many Christians. What are you doing to stop this downward spiral in our Country? Are you ready to accept The Great Commission or are you only comfortable being a Christian when your in the safety of your Church? [More]

There are many lessons to be learned by reading the Bible. The greatest charge we are given in the Bible comes directly from Jesus Christ. After he is crucified, buried, and has risen from the dead, he meets with his disciples on a mountain in Galilee before he ascends into Heaven. This is where Jesus gives his disciples (and us) The Great Commission. [More]

Each year there is a lot of talk about new year resolutions. Loosing weight is by far the most common resolution made, followed by quitting smoking, better finances, staying fit, and falling in love. These are good resolutions to make, and can help improve your life, but are these the things that should be on the top of our list? The Bible teaches us to be healthy and not do anything that can harm our body (1 Corinthians 3:16-17), be wise with our finances (Luke 16:11, Proverbs 13:22), and tells us about the importance of love (1 Corinthians 14:1). With the preceding verses, it could be easy ... [More]

Christmas is packed full of history, customs, traditions, and stories; most of which center around a jolly fat Santa Clause bringing presents to all of the good boys and girls around the world, but should this be our focus? We need to ask ourselves, What is The True Christmas Story? [More]

Daniel was taken captive and exiled to Babylon together with the rest of his people. There he lived for more than 70 years employed by the kings of different empires that ruled Babylon during that period. Daniel was a prophet who saw visions and dreamt dreams. Daniel was not a disciple of Jesus Christ and he did not have the privilege we have of reading the New Testament. He lived a life as if he was exposed to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Therefore his life and the way he handled situations and circumstances are relevant for us today as much as it was in the times of Daniel. Daniel&rsquo... [More]

If you have spent much time in Church, you undoubtedly have heard and said the Lord’s prayer many times. Reading and memorizing God’s Word in the Bible is a very import part of growing as a Christian. Even more important then memorizing, is understanding God’s Word. This week I have been thinking about the Lord’s prayer, specifically Matthew 6:11 – “Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread”. I never took part in the Adkins diet craze because frankly, I like carbs. I like bread, and I’d like to have some daily. I’m pretty sure this is not the only t... [More]

  Titus 2; Isaiah 30:9-10  “But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience; the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things —  that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed. Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded, ... [More]

There’s been something on my heart and it’s becoming the heart of my ministry. That heart is discipleship, and getting back to the heart of church, and what God wanted out of us when He gave us the Holy Spirit. [More]

  12.00   The words were spoken in anger, I knew, but that didn't diminish their sting.  What had begun as a decent conversation had somehow resulted in an argument of mountain-size proportions.  We were both tired.  After all, career and financial struggles can strain any relationship.  We knew this, but we weren't on guard.  Instead, we both settled in for the long haul, determined to have our say and win the other person over with our stunning arguments.  I was stunned, all right.  Not by the tone.  Not by the volume.  ...

  A friend of mine named Charles once began a search for peace of mind.  But there were things in his life that kept him from finding it.  Though deeply remorseful for his wrongdoings, he had never truly faced them head-on.  He was a reliable man, a hard worker, but inside he was tortured.  Behind the façade of his dedication to his wife, his children and the church, he carried a huge secret.  He was having an affair…in fact; the relationship had been ongoing for several years.   He realized there was clearly no way he could make up for, or u...
