Silence of God does NOT mean absence of God. Just because we do not hear from God does not mean that God is not there, nor does it mean that God is not active. The Book of Esther never mentions the word “God” in it. Nor does it mention God directing them to do certain […]

One undeniable factor that drives us to progress is the innate sense, “There must be more to life than this!” It’s Friday today and the reason why we look forward to the weekend is because our weekdays are mundane and we’ve been subconsciously asking, “There must be more to life than work and the weekend […]

Good morning everyone Luke 8:23-and as they sailed he fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water and were in danger. Even though Jesus is asleep, His presence is there in the midst of danger. Many of us may think danger is a sign of Jesus not […]

I noticed something curious in an exchange between my wife and my daughter recently. The way my wife was addressing my daughter, how she was correcting her and scolding her, she would never do with another adult. Especially as a pastor’s wife, she is very careful about how she words and watches even the tone […]

Good morning, Exodus 5:23-For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has done evil to this people, and you have not delivered your people at all.” Moses came to realize that being obedient to God stirs up such opposition from the enemy, that it almost convinced him that serving such a […]

Have you been let down by something (someone) you counted on to make your life worth living? Perhaps it’s your spouse that you are finding out to be disappointing (newly weds).

Good afternoon, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17 -Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, There was a time that I thought that this passage seemed so unreasonable, especially at times of hardship where your mind is so dominated by the present pain and frustrations of life. Especially a command that we rejoice always! So have you or do you […]

Sometimes, God won’t answer our prayer just to see how we would respond. I know that sounds cold, but sometimes it is necessary for us to know that it is Christ alone that is the solution to our problem. If we can find the solution elsewhere, then Jesus might not grant our request. He will […]

Good morning, Psalm 149:4-5 4 For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation. 5 Let the godly exult in glory; let them sing for joy on their beds. When we think of the concept of "taking care of yourself" outside of the parameters of the gospel, automatically the thought […]
