We are a few weeks into the new year and, right now, some of those resolutions we made are starting to feel like weights tied to our ankles. Our motivations and enthusiasm may be dwindling, but I pray to be of some encouragement. Maybe, just maybe, what you need to accomplish your goals is a fresh mindset….a Godly mindset. What is a Godly mindset? I … Continue reading Be Positive (Getting and Keeping a Godly Mindset Day 1 of 4)
Do you feel your prayers are going unanswered? Would you believe me if I said there are three questions you can ask yourself that may lead to the reason why God has yet to answer your prayers? Now, don’t get me wrong; I do not think we should focus our attention so much on why God does what He does, and sometimes we just have … Continue reading Examining Unanswered Prayers
Yesterday, I shared the importance of having joy in the Lord. It was a much-needed reminder for myself and I hope a few of you as well. However, just simply knowing this is not enough; we have to know how to apply it to our lives. What I am about to do is going to seem sacrilegious to some and, at the least, disrespectful to … Continue reading How to Get Your Joy Back Once You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling
Yes, I am back….and it feels good to be back. You may have noticed my blog has gotten a facelift and a name change. It has been a change a long time in the making and it feels great to finally get it done. 2015 was not the year I expected it be, and I do not think I have ever been so glad to … Continue reading My Word for 2016
Fellow Christians, let me first just say, if you are not one who usually takes the time to read by blog (and for those reading on Facebook and just scrolling through), please, please make the time today. There is a lot here today and I think we all need to hear it…and guess what…..I am not the one saying or writing it. This Reblog Friday … Continue reading Reblog Friday: The Power of No & 5 Trends Christians Must Stop Doing
While the attitude and nation seems to be turning on Christians, it is easy to get discouraged. But God keeps reminding me this is the time for Him to do great works and show His power as God. It is in the hopeless situations that God shines best. Be faithful; keep praying; Sunday’s coming. Let us go back again to the book of Daniel. Today, … Continue reading The Fiery Furnace
I know I am a day late and a dollar short here, but I can’t help but throw my 2 cents in the pot. Christian opposition and discrimination is growing in America (duh). Notice I refrained from the word persecution. I did so because I don’t believe we have hit that mark…yet. There are Christians all over the world loosing their lives, enduring horrendous torture, … Continue reading A Day Late and a Dollar Short
I just love, love, love God’s confirmation.
As you all well know, the matter of service has been on my heart for a few months, or more like a year. Last October, in a morning Bible study, I was overcome by Matthew 25, The Final Judgment, in which it explains how the nations will be separated…those who served…and those who didn’t. I have not been able to shake these verses and all year I have been looking for different ways to serve. Continue reading “Be Blessed and Be a Blessing”
If you have been following my blog lately, you may have noticed a little distance, a little discouragement, maybe even a little wining. Yes, I have been in a little funk. I have let circumstances around me come in between me and God. My circumstances , although a little rough right now, do not give me a reason to pout. The only one who gains … Continue reading Yes, Virginia, There Is A Devil
You ever feel like this Christian life is too hard? Do you ever feel like you’ll never get it right or your just not enough? Are you sick of the attacks and think this is not how Christianity is supposed to work, therefore you must be doing something wrong? If so, you are not alone. We’ve all been there at one time or another. However, … Continue reading Do Not Be Dismayed or Discouraged
