Joy is in knowing how far I fall short of God’s standard and yet how high God brings me up in glory. Reading Jeremiah 48:7, “Since you trust in your deeds and riches, you too will be taken captive,” I thought about what I truly trusted in. I think I trust in God, but do […]
Good morning everyone, 1 John 1:8-If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. It is natural for any of us to know that we are dealing with personal sins and don’t want anyone to know. Early on, even in childhood we realize the unwritten rules of […]
I’ve never seen it like this before. The two thieves hanging on the crosses on both sides of Jesus represent all of humanity! Everyone is condemned to death. We are on our way to death no matter our status, beauty, charm, purity, effort, etc. It’s not that we are going to die but that we […]
Good afternoon everyone, Ezekiel 37:3-And he said to me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" And I answered, "O Lord God, you know." The Lord ask Ezekiel this question regarding whether He could restore the children of Israel back to life after their captivity. In replacing our names for Ezekiel’s, what might the Lord […]
God will not meet up to our expectations as long as our expectations are wrong. When a mob at Jerusalem saw Jesus riding in on a donkey, they shouted “Hosanna in the highest!” giving Him a king’s welcome. But less than a week later, the same mob was shouting “crucify Him, crucify Him!” How can […]

Have you noticed this curious habit of human beings? When facing problems, we often turn to the very thing that caused the problem in the first place. For example, an alcoholic loses everything because of his addiction. He then turns to alcohol to ease his pain. A woman is sorrowful over her obesity. And yet […]
Good morning everyone, 2 Corinthians 3:11-12-For if what was being brought to an end came with glory, much more will what is permanent have glory. Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, If you were to define your personality would "bold" come to mind? Usually we associate boldness with "loud" or "theatric", […]
One way we know our children are growing up is when they ask, “Mommy (Daddy), what do you want me to give to you?” When they are little, they never think of giving their parents something, but only receiving. My children at 6 and 4 have not yet asked me that question. I guess we […]
