“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” (Matthew 7:13,14 NIV) Thoughts I’m confident whatever our thoughts, feed our souls as we sleep. Think about what first comes to mind when you awaken. This may gauge our spiritual nutrition. Of course, with any nutrition, what goes in will determine outcome. Consumption builds daily. We’re confronted with an array of grandiose offers. Will it be deception […]

“Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘Because you people have brought to mind your guilt by your open rebellion, revealing your sins in all that you do- because you have done this, you will be taken captive. (Ezekiel 21:24 NIV) Motivation Motivating Monday! Motivate the locomotive and get this train a “movin”…ready for this week? Rebellion is not quite Monday morning- cheer everyone, however, with our nation imploding right before our eyes- no time for doom and gloom as our pastor states.

Bibles are rarely read and […]

Therefore, do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. (2 Corinthians 4:16,17 NIV) Blind Earlier in this particular passage, verse four states, the god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. All questions wondering how people act the way they do- is answered in this very verse.

Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, O house of Israel? For I take no pleasure in death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live! (Ezekiel 18:31,32 NIV) Offenses Ezekiel’s messages came in vivid forms with dire need shown to gain captives attention.
