Dreams. It’s time to let go of some of those dreams. I was reading a devotional the other day that said, some of you have been crying out to God for somethings which were not meant for you, but He gave them to you anyway just as He gave Israel a king (1 Samuel 8). Go back and read that story; it’s eye-opening. God reluctantly gave Israel what they wanted, but He also warned them what would happen to them by receiving what they had asked for. Do not be too swift to run to God and ask for things Read More

LOVE: It’s an Action Verb
LOVE. There is a lot we can say about love. Depending on the Bible translation, you can find love mentioned between 200 and 600 times. God wants us to know all about LOVE. Not that feeling people get when they think they love someone; I am talking about God’s love. LOVE is a verb and requires action. It’s something God commands us to do. Let us love one another () because God is love. Happy Valentine’s day. On this day when we make an extra effort to let others know we love them, remember God is LOVE and He loved Read More
Choose: Five Life Lessons from 2020
Choose to be better and do more in 2021. As we all can agree 2020 was a different kind of year. Let’s face it, for many, it was a year of “BAD”. Bad news, bad health, bad finances, bad people, and other BAD circumstances. But, guess what? Even in the midst of bad, we can still have an awful lot of GOOD. I hope you endured and even prospered during 2020. Here are five life lessons we can take away from 2020: 1. Choose GOD (Ephesians 1:4; John 15:16; Deuteronomy 30:19). I ask myself daily, “Where would I be without Read More
Commonality: Five Ways to Stay Connected
The commonality is a mind link in a science fiction alien world. The aliens are called Taelons, and the commonality served to connect or link the consciousness of the aliens to each other. I was watching an episode of the show (Earth Final Conflict) recently, and I thought about how as Christians, we share a sort of commonality (connection) with God. Our commonality is not a mind link; it’s through the infilling of Holy Spirit (Jude 20-21). The work of the Holy Spirit in a Christian’s life is an on-going process. The Holy Spirit convicts, leads, guides, prompts, and assists Read More
Heart Condition: Guard Your Heart
What is the condition of your HEART? What are you doing to guard/protect and keep your heart condition pure, healthy, and whole? Your heart is your life source SPIRITUALLY and PHYSICALLY. When your heart is physically out of kilter, your entire body is impacted. In some instances, you become weak. When you apply the proper nutrients, eat the right foods, and do the right things to fuel your body, your heart thrives. If you fail to properly care for your heart, you will suffer physically because your heart is not in its proper physical condition or proper state. Your heart Read More
Marriage: Allow Your Marriage to Exemplify Jesus
Marriage is important to God. We “Christians” are the Bride and Body of Christ and One with Him. So are we as Husband and Wife, One with God with Jesus at the Center, the Core, The Threefold Chord of our Holy Union. Luke 9:23 is a verse I have never associated with what Marriage is and the example of what marriage is until today while praying and thanking God as Greg and I celebrate our 1-Year Anniversary. As you read this verse, think about a husband and wife, especially those of you who are planning and desiring to get married Read More
