Have you thanked God for NOT giving you what you want? Getting what we want could actually be a curse from God. If we are bent on getting something, God may give it to us, but it will work to our disadvantage rather than advantage. “But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness, and […]

Do you have a mission bigger than yourself? That phrase, “A mission bigger than yourself’ has been dancing around in my head now for a few weeks. It is synonymous with “calling.” Do you know your calling? Do you live to accomplish a mission bigger than yourself? If you don’t, then you, like everyone else, […]

“I don’t want to leave the earth. I just want to leave myself!” Have you ever had such a thought? What I mean by “leaving myself” is a disdain for the self such that I want to be someone else. “I wish I were someone else,” expresses a similar sentiment. I think I’m past blaming everyone […]

You cannot add to your faith, but you can supplement it. It is through faith in Jesus alone that saves. But this saving faith is not alone. It is accompanied by good works and changed lives. And although we cannot work to get faith, once we got it, we must work it out. But what […]

Have you become depressed because your hope has been dashed? That shows that your hope was in the wrong thing. Elijah the prophet became depressed after one of his greatest VICTORIES (Not defeats).

A christian atheist is someone who claims a belief in God and yet lives as if God does not exist. He or she probably goes to church, reads the Bible, even prays time to time, and yet in all his/her dealings of life, is no different than someone who does not believe in God – an atheist. […]

When I was in my 20’s, I kept having a swelling of gums in my mouth. A teenager friend of mine told me to just use Listerine and it will take it right out! Like a fool I listened to that advice and never went to see the dentist. But it became worse and worse […]

Have you ever gotten an email or a text that you got worked up about? I’ve gotten such an email yesterday. It was perhaps a mistake for me to have opened it right before I went to sleep because I had hard time falling asleep because of it. My impulse was to email right back and […]

I was glancing at the Billboard Music Award show last night. All these celebrities, I’m guessing, came up to receive their award and to perform. Janet Jackson – one of the few names I recognized – received the Billboard Icon award for her “achievement” in the music industry. Now, I don’t have any idea who all […]
