What Is In A Name

Only One Name Is Above Every Name:

Jesus!

This has been quite a week in America.  The Pope visited amid much fanfare.   The Speaker of the House, John Boehner, resigned as of the end of October.  Abdul Shalabi, former bodyguard to Osama bin Laden and Kalid Sheik Mohammed, was released from Guantanamo Bay detainment center and transferred to Saudi Arabia.  Many influential names which represent powerful institutions and ideologies have graced our news these last few days.   Yet in the end these names will fade into history with little fanfare.

 Let God Direct You This Month

To All Things New!

As you stand on the threshold of this New Year which is bright with promise and all things new, take this first month and offer it to the Lord.  This month represents the first fruits of this year.  The time and the purpose you commit these 31 days will set the tone for your year.  The seeds you plant will manifest throughout the year in fruitful harvest if you plant unto the Lord this month.  Commit to establish or re-establish your quiet time with Him.  After the flurry of Christmas … Read the rest

Word of God

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?

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

Keep Your Heart Fixed on the Kingdom

And All Else Will Be Added Unto You

Thank them for their service when you see them in your community.  Hold them in your heart every day as they daily defend your right to live free.

Blessing

May God Bless Your Day

As You Bless Others!

Wishing all a Happy Mother’s Day!  The importance of a mother figure in one’s life cannot be diminished.  Whether by blood or other relationship God places mothers.  Some may not be loving, supportive and nurturing but there are others who can ‘mother’ where there may be deficits.  My prayer is that you realize what a blessing it is to have a mom however God has presented that in your life.  Remember your mom or ‘moms’ today.  Thank them for doing their very best to love you.

Light of the World

Come Out of The Dark

And Into the Light!

Lent has begun and offers a tremendous opportunity to step back from distractions and seek the Lord.  In the forty days leading up to Easter Christians all over the world commit to making personal sacrifices.  There is much discussion and internet posting about what is ‘given up for Lent.’  I would like to propose a slightly different approach to your Lenten journey.

Seek Ye First The Kingdom of God

Seek the Lord first.  Seek His Kingdom first.  Let the Lord lead you on this forty day journey.  Do not just ‘sign … Read the rest

Kingdom Discipleship

What is the True

Cost of Discipleship?

Did you ever consider the cost of discipleship?  If you made the choice to follow Jesus, did you have any idea what the costs might be for you?  Or did you jump aboard hearing promises of abundant wealth and prosperous living on all levels?  Was your heart really in your commitment?  Did you really consider giving up all to follow Him?  Did you consider the costs at all?

First Things First

In Luke 14:25-35, Jesus talks about the cost of following Him.  He defines clearly the cost of discipleship.  You must be willing … Read the rest

Seek: Stay Equipped, Empowered, Kingdom focused! 

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.
