Young Women Searching After God’s Own Heart: Part 1

This is the first part of an encouraging message my sister shared with the young women of my church. Romans 12:1-2 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to…

The Last Don’t lose

Mark 10:31 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first. Our culture of today is one of celebrity. Movie stars, singers, professional athletes, mega churches with itchy ears preaching. Some jobs, relationships and authors all garner our applause. The rich and famous hold much influence in our society. To some of…

Now That Easter is Over-Now What?

JESUS IS RISEN You and I sung about that at church this past weekend. We read Scriptures about that to. We wore our Easter best to worship (some to show their new outfits) to celebrate the Resurrection. 1. Now What? Beyond any doubts for we Christians, Easter is the most important day on our calendar.…

Overcoming Difficult People

Matthew 5:10-12 10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward…

You Have The Victory Through Christ Jesus: Part 2

The way has already been made for us, but when adversity strikes we choose to: argue with our spouse, get mad at our job, get mad at school. We’ll even get mad when “so called” friends reveal our secrets to others, and this goes back to us needing to be mindful of who we choose…

You Have The Victory Through Christ Jesus: Part 1

I Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. I am writing this to encourage you, the reader, that whatever you may be going through, even if you feel that your world has been turned upside down, I want you to know that you have the…

Gospel Nuggets

Many are called, but few are chosen. This is why each of us needs to ensure with all certainty, through prayer, faithfulness, and supplication to make our calling and election sure. The men of the early church were gun-ho about this, because they saw a clear vision, and had a chance to escape from under…

Getting Out Of Stuck

Have any of you ever felt that you’ve reached a period in your life where you just feel stuck? You know that you’re not moving backwards, but just don’t see yourself making forward progress in your life goals. To me, stuck feels like: frustration, rejection, bitterness, emptiness. We may feel defeated, and be experiencing a…

My Life Of Faith

1. Life in Christ. Jesus’ identity is the foundation to who I am. 2. People find different ways to define their lives. Family gives my life meaning; work gives my life purpose; Life is whatever I make it to be. 3. The truth is that you and I only have a real and lasting meaning…

Pushed Past Your Limit

Here’s another encouraging post by my former coworker, Chikera. With all of the attacks we have to face from the devil, I know we all have those moments where we say if he were a flesh and bone person, we’d like to wrap our hands around his neck and just choke him out. We get…
