Discipline of Disillusionment

During one of my devotions this week, I bumped into a gem in Oswald Chambers’ My Utmost for His Highest, and wanted to capture it to return often and share with others. Jesus did not commit Himself unto them … for He knew what was in man. – John 2:24–25 . Disillusionment means that there

Prophecy Destroys Oppression

Here is a video from Graham Cooke that I believe will bless you. It is about an hour and forty minutes, but take it in chunks, listen to it multiple times; let the Word saturate you. NOTE: if the embedded link does not work, here is the direct link. Prophecy Destroys Oppression To see more

Community is not Enough

We should be thankful for the people whom God places in our life. We should love them dearly. We should treat them with honor and respect. We should do all we can to maintain the unity and peace of our relationships with them. We should be willing to give to and serve them. We should be open to them as they speak

Now and then

Are you experiencing the schizophrenia of having eternity hardwired into your heart but living as if this moment is all there is? It is sad how many people constantly live in the schizophrenic craziness of eternity amnesia. We were created to live in a forever relationship with a forever God forever. We were designed to

Wow, what a catch!

What is not seen

I know it is true about me, and I know it is true about you.  There is more about us than we reveal or even know ourselves.  Just like an iceberg, we might be visible to many, but that is just the “tip of the iceberg”. Even the people closest to use know about some

An Eye for an Eye 23 But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise. – Exodus 21:23-25 If you have not read that verse, it is inevitable that you have heard the

How much can you handle?

It is dramatic, it is real and if you are around Christian friends, they will reach out trying to encourage with words of wisdom. It’s a comment

Money is the root of all evil

Money, money, money – money! Such are the first words to the top-ten soul hit “For the Love of Money” by the O’Jays. First popular in the early 1970’s, the song was resurrected and later used as the musical theme to Donald Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice”. It’s a catchy tune, and Americans love it. The tune, that

In His Name

We each have our own story. It is a personal experience and not two are alike. It is that awkward moment in life when we step out of our comfort and exchange our thoughts verbally to an unseen God.  Here is a cute recount of one’s moment. “It was a sacred moment, and I didn’t
