I Just Got New Glasses and I Don’t Like ‘em

What lens do you use to examine your heart and your motives? Do you have clear sight? It may be time for a pair of new “spiritual glasses”.

Seasons Change

Just like the seasons change, this period of your life will change. If you are presently in a difficult period in your life, please know it is not forever. These periods in our lives help us grow and mature in ourselves and most importantly our relationship with God.

Be a Beacon for Christ

You must always refer to the Word of Be a Beacon for Christ - You must always refer to the Word of God and never change it to fit what you want it to say or a point you want to make. We are beacons showing the way to Jesus and redemption through Him.

Wait with Expectation and Enthusiasm for God

I know that it is hard to wait. I know that in our minds we think we know what is best for us, our children, where we live or work, but ultimately it is only God that knows what is needed, what is better for us in our journey of growth and in our walk with Jesus.

Fear Not, For God is With You and Me

I have simply found it hard to be a voice of encouragement when I feel only discouragement. Maybe you too feel a bit overwhelmed.

A Rafter of Turkeys

A Rafter of Turkey: You have front door access to God. He is there waiting for you to seek him. Rather than focus on earthly advice and temporary fixes, seek out God.

It’s all in the Timing

It is all in the Timing: We all have our little rituals, schedules, list and plans and we do not like them messed with by anyone. So, when God has a different idea or an alternate plan for us, we do not always accept it so easily.

Don’t Reel It In

DON'T REEL IT IN: It is easy to be bold when our peers are cheering us on. It is easy to speak out when our message coincides with popular ideas. However, when we speak the truth and share Christ with others outside our circle it is not as easy. When we act while using the Bible as our guide, not everyone understands or appreciates our reasons. So, we hold back. We reel it in, and we render ourselves ineffectual.

Practice Makes Perfect….Eventually

Practice Makes Perfect....Eventually You have been given the power of love and self-control are you using them to glorify God and show others to Christ?

Fruitless

The vine is connected to the root system and its function is to nourish the branches. The branches are the conduit through which the vine expresses itself. Grapes do not appear on the vine or the trunk. Only the branches bear fruit and that fruit is a direct result of the vine’s nutrients. The vine is the source of life.
