Today is the first week of a brand new beginning. It got me thinking about starting fresh and new year’s resolutions. The truth is we ALL need a fresh new start, not just at the first of the year, but over and over again. After all, we wouldn’t eat on the first of the month […]
What would happen if we had an “acknowledgment meter” that measured our thoughts and actions throughout the day? Pretty scary thought isn’t it? Especially when we are flying through our busy day without even a thought cast in God’s direction. Acknowledgment is a big deal throughout the scriptures. The stakes are high when it comes […]
Ancient Israel was experiencing a drought that was causing disarray and starvation. But Elijah had a message from God for them…check it out… 2 Kings 3:16-18 (NKJV) 16 And he said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Make this valley full of ditches.’ 17 For thus says the Lord: ‘You shall not see wind, nor shall you see rain; yet that valley shall […]

Christmas is tomorrow and I thought I would share some great symbolism that sometimes gets lost in our culture around this time of the year…for example… The Wreath The wreath is a sign of the love that God has for us. It is round as to speak of the unending love that God gives us. There […]
In the light of Christmas this year I would like to repost an old blog post from last year about the great Christmas traditions that may have lost their meaning through time. It is easy to forget the meaning behind the things we do and the things we take for granted. In the midst of atheism […]
It is critical that we define Who this God is that we worship in Christianity. In a world and culture of many “gods” it is important that we are specific when talking about, God Almighty, the Creator of the Universe. There must not be any confusion about the “Who” we are referring to. We often […]
