When driving your car, have you ever felt so tired that you didn’t know if you would make it home or to your intended destination? If not, great! But if so, I’ve been there too! I’ve heard that being sleepy behind the wheel is actually worse than being drunk behind the wheel. If that’s true, then can you spell the word D A N G E R O U S! Today, I want to talk to you about the dangers of falling asleep at the [...]
I believe all of us need to be reminded of this one. Unfortunately, we can get so caught up in our daily to-do-lists that we forget when a pop quiz, test, or trial comes our way, we have to be ready to conquer it! However, if we’re not trained by having our reservoir of Scriptures at hand, then it will be pretty hard to win. So that’s why we have to be ready at all times to…Speak the Word! Jesus did it! And as Christians, we [...]
I know this is a touchy one, because many people get a little mixed up on the difference between the fear of the Lord and fearing God. So we’re going to talk a little bit about this today. I might add that I’m pretty passionate about this one, because I believe it’s so important for the times we’re living in. So let’s dive in. I want to start by saying that “fearing” God…meaning being “afraid” of Him is unhealthy. And this is the initial misconception. [...]
Let me start by saying, “Ouch!” on this one! Okay…now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, we can proceed. As you can see, I’ll be talking about the growing pain of correction. You’ll discover why I call it the growing pain in just a few moments. But without further delay, let’s begin our written chat on “I Stand Corrected.” No doubt, this is a tough one. Wouldn’t you agree? I mean, who loves to be corrected? Most of us like to be correct, [...]
Alright, this is the last post from my 3-part series on “God is Calling You to Holiness…Pick Up.” I hope and pray that by now, you’ve picked up. I know for some of you, this was not an easy pill or two to swallow. However, I can assure you that if you have received it all well, you and others will see the amazing results in the days, weeks, and months to come. Most importantly, God will be pleased. Now, with that being said, let’s [...]
Welcome back! If you missed Part I of this series, you can always pause on this one and check it out first. However, if you’re just ready to dive right into this one…feel absolutely free to read on! Now with that being said, I’m going to press on and continue this series on the reality that God is calling you to holiness… and me too, for that fact. This week, I’m talking about how the call to holiness relates to our apparel. Get ready for [...]
If you’re reading this right now, then it’s not by chance that you are. I’m sure there were many other things that you could’ve read today, but the Lord led you here. Why? I believe it’s because of His great love for you and His immense desire for you to become that holy vessel that He can use for His amazing service and glory for such a time as this. Jesus wants us to be lights to a dying world, just as He was. But [...]
The title alone should give you a tiny hint of where I’m going with this post. However, if you haven’t guessed it yet, I’m talking about the fiery tests and trials that we go through in our Christian walk. Some of you reading this may be experiencing something very tough in your life right now, and I want you to know that you are not alone. God is with you. Ok? Hold on and BELIEVE that! (*We’ll talk more about this in a moment). But [...]
Some people know what a prayer closet is quite naturally, but then there are still many others who are not familiar with it at all. Simply put, it’s a secret place where you can be alone with God to share your deepest hurts, pain, feelings, secrets (if you have any), and the like. It’s a place where you can lay your heart and soul totally bare before the Lord. It’s so personal. It’s so intimate. And it’s something you may want to think about incorporating [...]
I feel compelled to write this today, because I know that there are many people globally, who are patiently waiting on the promises of God to be fulfilled in their lives. Might I add that I’m one of them too? Yep. So I’m very aware that waiting can sometimes be a hard thing. You can get a little fatigued, hard-pressed, frustrated, anxious, upset, and the list can literally go on, right? If we’re honest with one another, it’s not an easy thing to do. Sometimes [...]
