Anger Management
on October 3rd, 2023
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

A Challenge To Give
on October 1st, 2023
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. – Luke 6:38Do you realize that when it comes to giving at the local church, 20% of the people give 80% of the church budget?

Caring People Weep
on September 28th, 2023
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

His Strength In Our Weakness

Don’t Slow Down

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. - 1 Corinthians 10:13When I was in college, I worked on construction jobs during the summers. My brother-in-law worked with Monsanto Chemical Company, and he recommended me for a job as a day laborer in a chemical plant.

It’s Okay To Grieve
on September 22nd, 2023
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4)Navigating loss is one of the toughest things we have to do as humans. Losing someone special to you is hard enough by itself. It is even more difficult when you realize that things will never be the same.
