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

God’s Word Or

The Words of the World?

As we move swiftly into the 2014 fall season, much is happening in the world.  With vast technology; instant graphic news reporting; air travel that can swiftly move people and disease from nation to nation, the world gets smaller at a rapid pace.  Jihad based beheading and the Ebola virus have now reached the shores of the United States of America.  As the moral fiber of our country continues to unravel at a mind boggling rate, what are you hearing?

What Name Is the True Name of Destiny?

What is in a name?  Your name speaks to your destiny.  Parents weigh various names as they await the birth of a new addition to their family.  In the Old Testament God renamed Abram to Abraham, Sarai to Sarah to signify their destiny.

Time and again children were named to indicate what was taking place in the situation of their birth.  Isaac means laughter as the Lord brought laughter to Sarah, his mother.  Benjamin originally meant son of my sorrow as his mother, Rachel, died shortly after giving birth.  His father … Read the rest

Happy New Year

Step into the New Year

With a Clean Heart!

In just a few days 2014 will begin a new year filled with opportunities and unknown gifts.  Resolutions are made with great intention and often abandoned in less than a month.  I read a statistic this morning that only 8% of New Year resolutions are kept.  Must admit this is much lower than I expected.  In the coming days there can be a holiday let down.  Weeks of planning, running to and fro, meals with family and friends come to a screeching halt.  Decorations are put away for another year and … Read the rest

Jesus –Others–Yourself

We are quickly approaching Christmas as we enter this third week of Advent.  For many tension rises and anxiety spikes as you search for the perfect gift for everyone, plan your holiday meals and so much more.  It can be exhausting just thinking about all that is yet to be accomplished.  In the hurriedness of this season do not let go of the real reason we are celebrating.

Jesus Christ is God’s most extravagant gift to all who will receive Him.  He is ‘the reason for the season.’   Keep that in the … Read the rest

Wishing you a blessed Palm Sunday as we enter Holy Week.  This is a most important week.   What better week to really ask yourself, ‘who do I say Jesus is?’ As this Holy Week begins purpose to walk through the days with an awareness of the spiritual overlay as it pertains to your life.  Walk with Jesus toward His passion, death and resurrection.  Place yourself in the daily events of Holy Week and determine each day to make strategic changes that will be sustaining and everlasting … Read the rest

I pray this finds you well and prospering.  A concept that kept surfacing for me all week is hypocrisy.  I have spent some time pondering hypocrisy and the fruit thereof in one’s life.  The dictionary gives insincerity, pretense, duplicity, two-faced, falseness, unfaithfulness and double minded as synonyms of hypocrisy.

What is Your Life Worth?

Job 27:8 says, “For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he may gain much, if God takes away his life [KJV soul]?”  This reading was my first and profound encounter … Read the rest

Can you believe that we are entering the last week of February already?  When you hear that time is sped up believe that it is so.  Do you ever remember such a swirl of happenings as we see daily in the news?  In your lifetime do you remember such recurrent cataclysmic weather events?  Now is certainly the time to walk ever close to Jesus and let Him guide your every step.

While looking through some discounted Valentine’s Day decorations at a local store, I found a beautiful slate heart with a soft pattern of roses and the word love boldly placed in the center.

There were a few flaws on the heart but I was sure it could be restored.  I took it to the salesclerk to ask for an additional discount.  She spoke into her headpiece to her supervisor, “I have a woman holding a heart of stone that is chipped.  She would like a discount.”  I … Read the rest

A Lenten Reflection

This week will see a flurry of retail activity to try to make Valentine’s Day a memorable one for those we love.  To really be unforgettable to our loved ones is to be in the spirit of a generous heart all year long.  Having a generous heart means walking in love.  “Love…bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.  Love never fails.”  (1 Corinthians 13:7-8a)   Read that a few times.  Notice the word all.  This means despite the words spoken or the circumstances that do not go exactly as we would script them.  … Read the rest
