Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is- His good, pleasing and perfect will. (Romans 12:2 NIV) Motivating Monday! Motivating Monday! An amazing time for these thoughts to take root. You are not here by mistake. It seems even as churches have been challenged by deception, worship leaders have written powerful lyrics. During yesterday’s song service, the word surrender illuminated in my mind. I glanced around wondering how many truly have been able to surrender. […]

To be made new in attitude of your minds; and to put on new self, created to like God in true righteousness and holiness. (Ephesians 4:23, 24 NIV) Careful Oh, be careful little eyes what you see. There’s a Father up above and He’s looking down in love. So, be careful little eyes what you see. Memories of childhood surfacing? The tune continues with being careful what we hear, what our hands do, where our feet go, and what our mouth says. This song covers everything. As children develop, attitudes are formed. Attitudes toward church settings weigh in on spiritual […]

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore… (Ephesians 6:12 NIV) Stunned The death of Robin Williams has stunned our nation. One photo alone gives reason to identify his true demon, the devil. The photo showed Robin Williams, a strong supporter of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. All good this man was doing, the enemy wanted to shut down. The Bible informs the devil prowls like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. […]

Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside. He taught in their synagogues, and everyone praised him. (Luke 4:14,15 NIV) Blood pumping! Motivating Monday! Ready to get our blood pumping? Here’s a word for today. From those needing more rest to more serious matters with health and finances?

All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16 NIV) Itineraries Three days ago my family stood at an airport check-in counter. The attendant pondered our itinerary, I actually asked, “Does it look like we need reschedule for tomorrow?” The Holy Spirit urged direction as scripture was activated. Listening and actually following God’s direction works together for our good. Many times we fail to follow. The attendant informed we might need to change schedules. The voice behind […]

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” (Isaiah 30:21 NIV) Direction Thoughts today lean towards change of seasons. Ecclesiastes 3 there is a time for everything and in time everything will be made beautiful. Here is where I always want this blog to be different. As true as Ecclesiastes shares about seasons, we need a fresh look into how we succeed in order to see the beauty God has intended. Direction we take in life determines our ability to walk in […]

Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming, You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must rid yourselves of all such as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. (Colossians 3:5-8 NIV) Creation Paul’s letter to the church in Colosse could be a letter written today. The world created in six days as God rested on the seventh, was created in perfection. He called it […]

Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. (Ephesians 4:14,15 NIV) Justifying Sin Look beyond your church pews for individuals who have exited the Church. Individuals move toward liberal teachers justifying sin. Others gather missing fellowship not conviction. Conviction is a dominant trait of the Holy Spirt. The Holy Spirit is the […]

In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:12,13 NIV) Paul In fact, Paul’s charge to Timothy continues. He says, “But as for you… Continue in what we have learned. Continue in what we have been convinced. Why? We know those from whom we learned it. From infancy we have known the holy Scriptures. Scripture makes us wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. Scripture Scripture memorization deepens our knowledge and makes us wise. […]

Whoever acknowledges me(Jesus) before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven. (Matthew 10:32,33 NIV) Denying God Serious concern continues to build in our country. If BDS Movement is googled, we find a global movement campaining boycotts, divestments, and sanctions against Israel. They desire international law and Palestinian rights. Yes, we’ve had anti- groups circling for years around the globe. Their efforts seem intensified and gaining ground. Seems like tug of war between Christians and Non-believers with more defining their own beliefs […]
