Aligning Our Hearts With God's Heart Through Prayer
on April 30th, 2026
"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." - Psalm 37:4
Prayer is not just a means of presenting our requests before God; it is a sacred opportunity to align our hearts with the heart of our Heavenly Father. Psalm 37:4 reminds us that when we delight ourselves in the Lord, He graciously grants the desires of our hearts. However, this verse holds a deeper truth about the transformative power of prayer in shaping our desires to align with God's will.
When we enter into prayer with a heart of delight in the Lord, our focus shifts from solely seeking personal fulfillment to desiring what pleases Him. As we draw near to God in prayer, spending time in His presence and meditating on His Word, our hearts begin to align with His heart. Our desires are refined and purified as we learn to prioritize His Kingdom and seek His purposes above our own. Read More

Obeying the Word of God
on April 29th, 2026
"Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me."
—John 14:21
As His children, we are called to align our lives with the Word of God. But let me ask you something personal—are you negotiating with God about something He has clearly told you to do? Maybe you've given your life to Christ, but you haven't taken that next step of obedience—baptism.
Now, baptism itself doesn’t save you. It’s not the water that washes away your sins. The thief on the cross, who was saved just before his death, never made it to the baptismal pool. Salvation comes through Jesus Christ alone. If you think baptism as an infant took away your sin, it’s time to rethink that. Baptism is not what saves us; it’s an encounter with Christ that changes us. Read More

The Spirit's Testimony in Us
on April 28th, 2026
"The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children." (Romans 8:16)
If you’ve ever had a moment when you turned from sin and placed your faith in Jesus, then the Holy Spirit lives in you. The Spirit is not distant; He is personal. He speaks to you in ways that resonate with who you are. He knows how to get your attention, and He knows exactly what you need. You might chalk it up to “self-talk,” but it’s actually “Spirit talk.”
When you live in alignment with Christ, you begin to recognize the Spirit’s nudge. It’s not about following rules; it’s about being led by the Holy Spirit in your everyday decisions. The Spirit prompts you to do the right thing at the right time, even for people you may never have expected to help. Living a Spirit-led life means listening for His guidance rather than simply following a set of rules. Read More

Struggles Are Guaranteed
on April 27th, 2026
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7)
As a follower of Christ, prayer is a very important part of life. Do you realize there is not just one way to pray? God wants you to learn to communicate with Him and pour your heart out to Him. Regardless of your circumstances, good or bad, communicate with God.
No matter what situation you find yourself in, you need to talk to your Heavenly Father and invite Him to make a difference in your life. Read More

Are Your Ready?
on April 26th, 2026
"Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." (Romans 10:9)
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 7:21)
Let me ask you a question. “If Jesus came today, are you ready?” Has there been a moment in your life when you turned from sin and placed your faith in Christ? Have you given your life to Christ? Are you ready for Christ’s return? If it happened today, are you ready?

Heaven May Be Closer Than You Think
on April 25th, 2026
"You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him." — Luke 12:40
Are you living like Jesus could return today?
We are living in a very volatile time. Therefore, we need to be on point and ready for Christ to come. We need to be Biblically centered. This should be our number one priority. Our perspective needs to be a Biblical worldview. Our interpretation of present events needs to be directed by the testimony of the Word of God.
When I look at what is happening globally—with Iran, with China, with Russia, with what's occurring in our own country—I see all the ingredients for the End of Days right now. Read More

Don't Be a Feather
on April 24th, 2026
"Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming." — Ephesians 4:14
Are you standing or floating?
I encourage you to stand with Israel and stand with a Biblical knowledge of what is right and what is wrong in our culture. As a believer, it is important that you take a stand. If you do not stand, you will be like a feather in the wind. Wherever it blows, you will go.
As a child of God, stop bending to the culture.
You have heard it said, "Any old dead log can float down the stream, but it takes a different character to stand for what the Bible says." That is where we stand as a church.

We're All Messed Up
on April 23rd, 2026
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." — Romans 5:8
Do you think you're too broken for God to use?
I am surprised that God would use any of us! You have heard me say it many times, "We are all messed up." It says a lot about His grace and His long-suffering with us.
Every single person God has ever used was flawed. Moses was a murderer. David was an adulterer. Peter denied Jesus three times. Paul persecuted the church. Yet God used each of them powerfully for His kingdom. Read More

Keep the Fellowship Flowing
on April 22nd, 2026
"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin." — 1 John 1:7
Why do believers need to confess sin?
This confuses some people. If all my sins were forgiven when I gave my life to Christ, why do I need to keep confessing?
Here's the answer: When you give your life to Christ, you are saved. Sin is dealt with at that moment of salvation. Your relationship with God is secure. But after that moment, the only reason you need to confess sin is to make sure the fellowship flows. Read More

Salt Prevents Decay
on April 21st, 2026
"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot." — Matthew 5:13
What happens when believers are removed from a culture?
Scripture tells us that believers will be taken out and snatched away with a violent force. If believers on this planet are taken out, the very salt and light of the world will be gone.
When you take out the believers who love Israel and love the Word of God, we will have a nation that has lost its direction. You can see how quickly things could turn.
Have you ever thought about what salt does? In the ancient world, salt was a preservative. Before refrigeration, salt kept meat from rotting. It slowed decay. It preserved what would otherwise spoil. Read More

Obedience in Every Area
on April 20th, 2026
"We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. Whoever says, 'I know him,' but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person." — 1 John 2:3-4
Is there an area of your life where you're not obeying God?
When you read the Word of God, do you obey it? In every area of your relationships, do you make your emotional decisions based upon the Word of God?
Let me get specific.
The Bible tells us that believers are not to be yoked together with unbelievers, especially in marriage. Many people try to practice "romance evangelism." They think, "I can win them to Christ." But God does not want believers dating non-believers. Why? Because anyone you date is a potential marriage partner. Read More

The Lens You Look Through
on April 19th, 2026
"See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ." — Colossians 2:8
How do you interpret what's happening in the world?
We are living in a very volatile time. I know that many of you watch what is happening globally and you are wondering what will happen next. When you look at what is occurring in our country internally and politically, you see what is occurring militarily with our country and Israel. What is happening and where are we headed?
