If you are anything like me, you CANNOT wait for this election season to be over. I am tired of my mailbox being full of postcards and letters telling me who to vote for and why I shouldn’t vote for the “other side.” I am tired of commercials trying to make people afraid with the […]

Matthew 6:34New International Version  34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.  We are in the midst of the season of change. The temperatures are getting cooler, and the days are getting shorter. The leaves on the trees are beginning to change. But […]

Have you ever asked yourself, “What does God want from me?” Some of us may answer, “To believe in Jesus and go to heaven.” Others may respond, “To be a good person?”  I Peter tells us that it is God’s desire for His people be holy and uses the book of Leviticus to solidify this […]

And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20 New International Version). Spring […]

Remembrance vs. Participation There was a time in my Christian journey when I found little necessity in following the church calendar. After all, I had “my” bible and I felt that me and the Lord were doing just fine. On holidays such as Christmas and Easter, I would read the gospels out of religious duty […]

“The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here” (Romans 13:11-12, NIV). I do not place much value in New Year’s resolutions. Place a visit to any local gym in […]

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines […]
