The older I get, the less I confident I become. I thought it would be the other way around when I was younger. In a recent conversation with a dear friend/mentor, we both agreed that when we were younger, our teachings  emphasized “What you need to do to follow God.” But now we are older, […]

John 4:10-11–Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”  11 The woman said to him, “Sir, you have nothing to draw water with, and the well is […]

If the effort we put in will not end in the desired result, would you still make the effort? If being good will not result in a good ending, would you still be good? – Many cheat through school and get good jobs afterwards. (“Cheaters never win!” Really? Have we identified all the cheaters and […]

Sin sucks. Purity rocks! Every time we sin, we are puffing nicotine into a baby’s mouth, we are throwing rocks at our brand new car, and scuffing our favorite leather purse. We Christians often forget what we were saved from. We were saved from sin. God of infinite joy saved us from sin so that we can enjoy […]

We often talk of delayed gratification, but have we ever thought abut “delayed suffering?” The concept of delayed gratification is a biblical one. We may not have it as we want it here on earth, but we will be satisfied fully in heaven. Therefore, we need to be patient and suffer well in the meantime, knowing […]
