As you are making the new year’s resolutions, think marathon and not a 100 meter dash. The race of life is not about how fast but about how steady. “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and […]

Hebrews 2:10-For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering. When I think of heroic movies, especially American movies you can’t help but see an individual or group willing to lay aside everything in […]

Have you made your new year’s resolutions yet? Even if you have, allow me to guide you in them. How about having these three goals for 2019? 1) Draw nearer to God. 2) Be consistent in exercising my faith. 3)Stir another’s love toward Jesus. “Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of […]

Titus 3:1-2–Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, 2  to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people.

Ecclesiastes 7:14–In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other, so that man may not find out anything that will be after him. Obviously this day for many of us in this country, reveals just how prosperous we are in […]

“I’m sorry but you will lose it…” A dentist told me about a tooth for which I went to see her. She took some x-rays and told me that I will eventually lose it. It would be the 4th tooth I would lose. I guess I didn’t inherit my mother’s good teeth. She’s pushing 80 […]

God had a choice. It’s either doing nothing and letting us all go to hell, or doing something that would cost Him dearly. It would have been easier to do nothing. He has given us the law, and we failed to live up to it. Therefore, it is right that we suffer the due consequence. […]

Ecclesiastes 3:10-11–I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.   We naturally […]
