As a preacher’s kid, I grew up hearing and reading about faith. As an adult I’ve come to know and experience what faith is and does. FAITH: loyalty, belief and trust in God. I am a fan of Webster.com and when I typed “trust” I noticed the derivatives were, “trustability”, “trustable”, “truster”, “trustingly”, “trustingness”. […]
In the natural, what does it mean to give someone your whole heart? Not a half or a part but your total, complete heart. You have a love for them and nothing or no one could ever take their place, and you would most likely do anything for them. Notice I said most likely, […]
Have you ever been in a relationship and something happened that resulted in you causing the other party hurt and pain? You apologize, and though they are hurting, they say that they accept your apology. You all try to move on from that place of pain, but then every time you turn around they […]
Misty Copeland has gone from living in a motel to dancing on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House. Literally. In June 2015, Misty Copeland became the first African-American woman to be promoted to principal dancer at the American Ballet Theatre. Still, she strives for more. At 33, the prima ballerina has amassed innumerable accolades, […]
This week’s topic: God’s Guidance As the mother of a very intelligent 3 year old and an infant, I can attest that there is a different behavioral tolerance for both ages. My highly verbal toddler can communicate her needs, while my infant obviously cannot. Therefore, my expectations of each of them vary based on […]
Think about that. God, the Creator of the Universe, The Beginning and The End, Who is our Daddy, HEARS US! The word “hear” in the Greek is akouo (ak-oo’-o), it means TO GIVE (in the) AUDIENCE (of), come (to the ears), ([shall]) hear, be noised, be reported, understand. So, the word “hear” here means to […]
I’ve often found myself labelling other people as being ‘wise’ or ‘having wisdom beyond their years’. This label is usually awarded because they’d either made a decision that I thought was tactical, or said something that I thought was profound. Hence, I’d reach into my bag of adjectives and pull out the age […]
Authority is defined as a legal power of right to command, in the Webster’s Dictionary. The Church and Body of Jesus Christ has been given the authority by Jesus Christ to carry on The Family Business of God here on earth. When Jesus left planet earth, He delegated His Authority to us, as Believers […]
We lead such messy lives sometimes, directionally challenged, bad-decisions-scarred lives. And sometimes when we least expect it, we turn around and discover that we’ve sunken into a ‘pit’ that welcomed us so open-armedly that we didn’t even notice when our sinking began. Renowned Bible teacher, Beth Moore, teaches about the ‘pit’, and how we […]
God said that mankind was to rule on the earth. It WAS and IS His Will that WE, man rule in this earth. Why? Because we are made in His Image! He rules, so He wanted us to be made in His image and rule here on earth! That is why God did not […]
When I was young, I often played the game Mercy. It’s a simple game, really. You and your opponent take both of your hands and intertwine them with each other’s. You then proceed to bend them back trying to “win the game.” When it starts to hurt beyond what you can handle, you […]
Dewayne and I were so blessed to stand and look over the hillside near Capernaum in Israel where Jesus was ministering the words to the people in Matthew Chapter 5. What a sight to see! Jesus was telling the people that there was a reward for them, and us today, for the ones who […]
