President's Day

Take Time to Learn What

Our President’s Stood for and Believed

This week in the United States of America we celebrate President’s Day in honor of those who throughout history have held our highest National office.  These men served at great personal sacrifice to lead the greatest country through times of peace and times of war.  History shows us that these men placed God and country first as they led us again and again to victory over enemies of the time.  They expressed pride in America and sought the best for her and all who called themselves American.

Valentine's Day Hearts

What Does Valentine’s Day Mean to You?

Blessings as we progress together through February.  I pray you are strengthening your trust in Him and what He has for you.  This coming Saturday is Valentine’s Day. Sadly, it has become a day with such commercial focus.   Setting aside a special time to appreciate those we love is certainly important.  However, we are called to love one another on a daily basis.  Do not  limit your celebration of those in your life to just a few commercial holidays.

How Did It All Begin?

Have you ever wondered how Valentine’s Day came into … Read the rest

The Call to Arise!

Arise!

Listen for His Call

To Arise!

Tomorrow is Groundhog Day in the United States and Canada.  Many await the outcome of whether or not the infamous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, will see his shadow.  As legend has it, seeing his shadow means six more weeks of winter.  For those living in cold winter locations Groundhog Day brings much conversation about the season and the hope of spring. 

Can You See Beyond Winter to Spring?

Of course, this is all in fun with no true belief that a groundhog really knows when the seasons will change.  Only God knows the timing of … Read the rest

Weaving a Tapestry

Who Designs the Tapestry

Of Your Life?

I pray that your January is progressing well and that you are staying warm.  With record low temperatures please pray safety for all in our Nation.  So much is happening in the world.  Each day there is news of terrorism and the rise of radical Islam.  Societal morals seem to be careening out of control at break neck speed.  Who can find a trustworthy person?

More and more as society breaks down many Christians follow the ways of the world.  There is a blurred line today between the opinion of man and the … Read the rest

Let God Make Your New Year

New!

Here we are once again on the precipice of a new year!  As 2014 draws to a close what do you envision for your 2015?  This past year may have been quite wonderful for you.  Perhaps it was most challenging. Despite whatever took place look for the blessings of 2014.  It is easy to focus on the negative in life.  So much negativity floods the news media daily.  You are bombarded with continuous updates of frightening happenings around the world.  This endless barrage of negative can cast a dark shadow on your life … Read the rest

Joy

Walk in His Joy

Minute by Minute!

Here we are in the third week of Advent already!  I pray that amidst the preparations for Christmas you are staying focused on the real ‘reason for the season.’  May this phrase never become a cliché that is spoken in haste without a real understanding and depth of awareness of Jesus this season and always…minute by minute in your life.

Joy is the focus of this third week of Advent.    Joy is a feeling of great happiness.  Joy is exhilarating.  Joy is surely contagious.  If you walk closely with the Lord joy … Read the rest

Peace

His Peace is Not as the World Gives

It is Sacred for You Alone

As we enter the second week of Advent, let His peace reign in your heart (for it is always a heart issue).  Each week of Advent is marked by a concept to focus on during the week.  The first week is Hope.  Last week we discussed how to keep Jesus the center of your life despite what is going on around you.  He is your hope.  This week, we seek His peace.

Traverse Loss with His Peace

Are You Solid or

Crumbling at Your Very Core?

Today more than ever we must be aware of the physical requirements of temple stewardship. Our Nation is battling an obesity epidemic and the church is in no way exempt.  We promote fellowship around food that is  not always the healthiest of choices.  Cookies, cakes, desserts of every kind, pasta dishes laden with rich sauces are some of the fare that frequent church gatherings.  High cholesterol, high blood sugar, cancer, and numerous other diseases are on the rise because for the most part we are simply not eating the way God … Read the rest

Is It Time To Clean Your Temple?

Clean Your Temple

What Is Going On

In Your Temple?

We are all familiar with the story of Jesus cleansing the temple of the money changers. Jesus went into the actual temple of His day to cleanse it of all that had been allowed to enter and defile it.  As we are now the temple of the Holy Spirit we are also responsible to ensure that we remain cleansed of anything that may defile God’s house.

Whose Business Are You About?

First, He drove out those who bought and sold.  What do you buy and sell in your temple?  Do you merchandise the … Read the rest
