I want to ask you a heart-to-heart question. Are you about the Father's business today? Or, are you busy doing what you want to do vs. what God has called you to do? Think about that for a moment. The reason why I’m asking these questions, is because sometimes we can get so caught up in doing a “good” thing that we neglect to be doing a “God” thing? What I mean by this is, “Are you truly doing the will of God or are you [...]

Can I ask you a question? I hope you answered a wholehearted “yes” (LOL). Okay, here goes and seriously speaking… “Do you want God’s best?” I would think that it didn’t take long at all for you to answer that question. I mean, who wouldn’t want God’s best, right? Right. Yet, I’ve discovered over the years, that in order to receive God’s best it does entail…a sign of surrender with a heart of contentment. Many of us know that being content is not easy, especially [...]

Do you know your purpose? Meaning, do you know what you were put on this earth to do? Think about that for a moment. I remember when I asked God to show me my purpose years ago. I really wanted to know what was I born to do? So after changing my major 5 times, while transferring to 5 different schools in a 5-year period, God began to reveal my purpose as I was about to enroll myself into the 6th school which was seminary [...]

I know that with the rat race of life, sometimes it can be tough to stay connected to God’s Word on a consistent basis. With the demands of work, school, friends, family, and issues, it’s easy to unintentionally begin to place God on the back burner of our busy lives. I know this from experience, because I’ve had times when I have been so engulfed with my work or a special project, that I literally asked God for a “rain check” on spending time with [...]

I’m just going to dive right into this one. Lately, in my own personal life I have been going through a series of changes and disappointments. I’m actually in a season of change. I just lost my father to stage 4 lung cancer, my teenage son is acting up, and needless to say that there’s just a whole lot of new challenges that I’m currently facing. On a normal blue sky day and season, I’ve been told that my personality is bubbly, fun-loving, and lively. [...]

I’m coming to learn more and more that in this Christian walk it’s really about having an intimate and personal relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ. Accepting Christ as our Lord and Savior is really only the beginning, because after we’ve gone through that amazing life-changing experience, there’s more!  We then have to build on that relationship by letting God lead us to a Bible-believing church home, while growing in His word, and then allowing Him to show us where, how, when, and [...]

  As a professing Christian, if you don’t already know, people who are unsaved and even saved for that matter, are watching your walk with Christ. Yep! It’s true. I know…the pressure. But the reality is that they want to know, “Are you the real deal?” and “Are you someone that I can follow to lead me to Christ?” And for others’ who have been saved for quite some time but are interested in spiritual growth, they may be watching your obedience, endurance, perseverance, how [...]

    Do you have a regular devotion time? You know, a moment when you set aside time to spend with God alone in His word?  The reason I’m asking is because, I believe that this is a very important component to incorporate in your Christian life. We all need it. Actually, I have to have it! I love getting up in the morning and enjoying a nice hot cup of French Vanilla coffee (after boot camp) with my journal, Bible, a few books, and [...]

Reading this, I would guess you’re thinking one or the other:  “I don’t have idols” or “Hmm, I admit that I do have idols.”  Either way, we’re going to talk about this very important commandment, because I believe this is very serious to God. But before we get started, you need to know, what are idols, exactly? Simply stated, it’s anything that we put before God and worship, whether an object or excessive devotion/admiration. Exodus 20:3-4 says, “Do not worship any other gods besides me. [...]
