I have endeavored to do the right thing, not necessarily the easy thing. Sure, I have messed up and made plenty of mistakes. However, when I do, I run to the Lord and receive forgiveness and His mercy.  You see, the longer I live, the more I desire to run my race well, this means letting go of any sense of self-importance, having my way or [...]

Last Sunday I ministered on the subject:our eternal home, Heaven, at Liberty Church in Cleveland .  If you want to hear the entire recorded message it is available on the podcast below.  I am comforted to know some of my loved ones are living in that eternal city. Heaven is a real place but there is only one way to gain entrance and this is through the [...]

In the last seven months our precious granddaughter and a younger brother have passed from this life into Heaven's reward. Although we miss their presence, we receive hope in the goodness of God. This is possible due to the spiritual DNA that we receive at salvation. Something happens when we meditate on His Word and allow our minds to be renewed from Heaven's point of view. [...]

Every day I endeavor to close my rings.  Last year I celebrated my birthday and bought myself an Apple watch.  I appreciate the benefits it provides to gauge my exercise program.  When my rings are closed I feel so good: over 10,000 steps,  five miles walked, and thirty + minutes of continual movement. However, I feel even better when I close my spiritual rings. For instance, [...]

I have never been one to wait joyfully, something in me wants things done now. Thank God i have learned through the years to listen to the voice of The Lord as I read my bible for His direction. As I read from the Old Testament prophet Habakkuk in chapter two, verse three, it said "For the vision is yet for the appointed time; it hastens [...]

I love reading the gospel of Luke because you really see the compassion of our Lord towards others. It is imperative for us to recognize one of the attacks against our faith and our spiritual growth. I beleive the enemy loves to lie to us about the goodness of God and sets up unfulfilled expectations in our daily walk. There isn't a Christian alive who has [...]

The enemy has unleashed a powerful weapon of fear against the body of Christ and it is time for us to make a stand, I am astounded at the number of Christians who continually post negative fear-filled articles. We need to rise up in the anointing of God and refuse to respond like the world's system. In times of crisis we need to feed our faith [...]

This morning I was reading my daily Bible reading and it was partly on Exodus eight. Verse nine and ten have always interested me. Moses made a powerful statement, "The honor is yours to tell me: when shall I entreat for you and your servants and your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, that they may be left only in the [...]

I have been thinking since the beginning of the New Year why some fulfill their purpose in life and others don't. The passage in Matthew twenty two says, "For many are called, but few are chosen." Opportunities come to us but we alone make the decision to seize them. Opportunities are often disguised in hard work. Nowadays that is not a popular characteristic or choice to [...]
