Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Anger Management
on October 3rd, 2024
But the Lord replied, “Is it right for you to be angry?” (Jonah 4:4) If you are human, you wrestle with the issue of anger. If you fail to admit it, you live in denial. Now, don’t get me wrong. I didn’t say everyone wrestles with the symptoms of anger management like explosive outbursts, increased vocal volume or fitful facial expressions. Some of us have learned to stuff it deep down and wrestle ... Read More

Bankrupt at All Cost
on October 2nd, 2024
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:3) How much money do you have in the bank? We don’t want to be overdrawn; instead, we desire to be flush with cash at all times. It is the American dream…to have more than you need! When Jesus spoke about poverty of spirit, it cut across the grain of His hearers. In fact, most people in His day thought that the reall... Read More

Think Before You Speak
on October 1st, 2024
Now this is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways.” (Haggai 1:5) What a probing verse! It is not a friend or a parent who challenges us today; rather, it is the Lord Himself! “Give careful thought to your ways.” There are so many things we do each and every day without a second thought. Some things are done out of habit or possibly impulse, having learned and repeated c... Read More

on September 30th, 2024
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. – Romans 10:17In college, I was trying to find my way, and I didn’t know what God had for me.

Stay Close To Jesus
on September 29th, 2024
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.

Caring People Weep
on September 28th, 2024
But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” (Revelation 5:3-5) When was the last... Read More

Broken over Sin
