Are You a Surface Dweller or

A Friend of God?

I pray this finds you well and prospering!  This past week our Jewish brothers and sister celebrated their New Year feast of Rosh Hashanah.   Called the Feast of Trumpets, it begins with the blowing of the shofar to call all to a time of renewal and repentance.  The High Holy Days begin with Rosh Hashanah and end at the culmination of Yom Kippur, The Day of Atonement.  This is a time of reflection to look over the past year and repent.  The primary repentance is of course to the Lord.  … Read the rest

Is Your Harvest

Positively Plentiful or Woefully Deplete?

In this season of harvest you can find a plethora of colorful flowers and produce yielding wonderful additions to your home and table.  What was planted months ago and faithfully tended to has come forth in richness of color and the fullness of God’s design.  What a blessed season to partake visually and physically of the bounty of harvest.

I could not help but think what is the harvest of your heart?  Make no mistake; what you plant in your heart will produce a harvest.  It is a personal choice with each … Read the rest

Let Us Never Forget

Our Fallen 9/11/01, 9/11/12

This week on September 11, we set time aside to remember the terrorist attacks on the United States of America on September 11, 2001.  Please observe a moment of silence beginning at 8:46 am Eastern Daylight Time to remember the innocent victims who lost their lives in New York City, Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.  Pray for those they left behind that day.  They will forever bear the scars of their loss.

Also, please remember the four Americans, U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, Tyrone Woods, Sean Smith and Glen … Read the rest

Step Out of Darkness

And into His Light!

I wish you a blessed Resurrection Sunday!  As you gather with family and friends remember the real reason we celebrate today.  Jesus left an empty tomb and rose from the dead.  Rather than an earthly king as some believed, He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords.  Many view Him as simply a great prophet but no other prophet rose from the dead!  No other prophet is the Son of God.   No other prophet died to open the door to eternal salvation for those who believe in Him.  Only … Read the rest

Hold Onto the Prince of Peace Evermore

I wish you a most blessed second week of Advent!  Praying you are successful in ‘being the peace’ in your world.  It is not always easy but with intention you can live in the peace Jesus died to give you.  Live with purpose seeking first the Kingdom of God and all will be added unto you.  Keep His peace in your heart (for it is always a heart issue) throughout the year and it will emanate to those around you.

What is Your Hope?

Stay Focused on the Things of God

Not on Things of the World!

Greetings as we enter the last week of October, 2013!  Soon we will be celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas in a whirlwind of gatherings with friends and family.  Sadly, this season can become one of extreme materialism and acquisition fatigue.  Set your sights now to stay focused on what is important to safeguard yourself in the next few months.

Which Window Do You See Through?

I am preparing to have new replacement windows put in my home tomorrow.   I looked at the window pictured above and could not … Read the rest

Keep Pressing Upward

The Narrow Path is Life!

People from around the world are coming together today to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.  In Esther’s Warriors we commit to pray daily for peace in Israel.  Today hold Jerusalem in your prayers and heart as untold prayers come together for peace.   In this season committed focused prayer is critical.

Going Up or Down?

Do you ever feel you are pressing to go up a steep narrowing staircase while seemingly throngs of others are on their way down to the wider, easier to navigate steps?  Does the climb seem unrelenting with … Read the rest

If Your Life Is An Open Book

What Will A Reader Learn?

God blessed me with a most wonderful experience this week that I would like to share with you.  A contractor came to my house to give me an estimate for some work I needed done and in the course of discussing the job he noticed a picture of the Holy Land in my garage.  That picture opened the door to a conversation of how the Lord is moving in each of our lives.  It was a Spirit led discussion that was so uplifting and edifying.  We ended by … Read the rest

What Is Fellowship?

What Does Fellowship

Mean to You?

How often do you hear Christians talk about fellowship?  It is a term widely used to encourage church membership to “fellowship” with other believers.  To “fellowship” frequently includes sharing a meal with others.  Sadly, what should be an opportunity to encourage and edify each other often is simply an opportunity to gossip about anyone not present.  How can we all get back to the true meaning of fellowship to inspire one another to grow in faith and present Jesus to the world?

The Most Important Fellowship Of All!
