Life Giving Weight
Yesterday I posted a reel about how I love when it rains. I do. I love the freshness. The replenishment. The washing. The filling. I love when it rains. I marvel at the miracle of rain. Science has identified that “Clouds hold millions of pounds of water because that water is spread out as trillions…

This Is Not the Plan That I Have for Your Life!
“When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?” John 5:6 NKJV I can relate to that paralyzed man laying beside the Pool of Bethesda for 38 years. Crippled. Watching others walk past him…

Why do I believe in God?
Because when I have been on my knees, broken, without hope, looking in the mirror at the man who had lost his North and his identity, shouting out God where are you, he has held me close and carried me. As I stood over the bed of my dying mother, pleading for her life with…

It May Look Different
There was a man who lived in the path of a coming hurricane. As others fled inland to higher ground, he boldly said “the Lord will take care of me.” As the waters reached his door, kind people came by and said get in our truck and we will take you to safety. The man…

You’re Being Lied To!
Consider that Solomon, widely recognized as the wisest man who has ever lived because he asked God for wisdom and failed! He assumed the throne of his father, David. When offered to ask for anything by God, he asked for wisdom. He amassed wealth that in today’s dollars would equal 2-trillion. (Not even close, Elon!).…

Crazy (your name here),
Can you imagine the mocking and judgmental comments being aimed at Noah and his three sons as they built the Ark? Now for context, the argument can be made that the people on earth had never seen rain. (Genesis 2). Certainly the people of the day had not experienced floods. So it is reasonable to…

You left well, Dolly
There is a common saying that brings comfort to each of us who lose a loved one that says “Heaven gained.” I beg to differ and agree. I don’t believe any person leaving this World, who has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, will be a ‘gain’ to God’s majestic Kingdom. I believe it…

King for a Moment
“And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?” Mark 8:36 NLT The insidiousness of pornography. The evil that knows no bounds nor recognizes power, position or economic status. How is this possible, you ask? Jed York, the 46 year old owner of the San Francisco 49ers was…

How Long Will You Wait
I remember sitting in a conference room at a manufacturer in Shenzhen, China in 2002, making the comment, “we are seeing a trend in America,” to which the company’s representatives looked at each other as the translator delivered my words and chuckled with one another. When I asked why they chuckled, the General Manager replied…
