Is it just me, or does it seem like the enemy of our souls is working overtime to keep us all anxious and afraid? Jesus said: “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and He will give you everything you need. So don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to…
When life is comfortable it’s easy for us to get lazy. We love the thought of life being carefree but unfortunately, that’s when we’re tempted to get careless. Take a look at the typical wildlife documentary. The predators always stalk and wait for just the right unguarded moment to pounce on and devour their prey….
You remember Mnason, right? Okay. The truth is, I don’t remember him either. In fact, I had to look up the meaning of his name just to see how to pronounce it. So, if he’s new to you too, Mnason is pronounced (m)na-son (with a silent m), and… The following verse is the only time…
One of the things I love about reading Scripture is that it speaks to every intelligence level and personality type. It’s everything you and I need. How is that possible?

Everyone wants to be happy! Yes, everyone longs for happiness. But maybe like me, you’ve seen quotes that say… “God doesn’t care if you’re happy. He wants you to be holy.” Rick Warren said something similar… “God is more interested in your character than your comfort. God is more interested in making your life holy…

SEEK was my word for 2018, and I chose Luke 12:31 as my verse… Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and He will give you everything you need. At the end of the year, I knew there was no moving on. Seek went from being my word for the year to being my word for life!…
