Yesterday, our preacher quoted Marvin J. Ashton, “Satan is ever present, trying to destroy our glory and remove our crown. One of his most powerful tools is discouragement. Don’t let your discouragement make Satan rejoice.” We’ve all felt it. Things happen in this world that make us sad, down, or discouraged. I don’t want to… Continue reading Discouragement

I admit I have a hard time with confession. I don’t like to confess to myself, even though I try to do it. I certainly don’t like to confess to anyone else. I know the Bible tells us to do this, and I know why. But when you’ve confessed to people you thought you could… Continue reading Confession

We have a lot of problems with our tongues. God knows this. We know this. James is a great book from the Bible to read about the tongue and its issues. But in my daily readings, I recently came across a part that I don’t remember reading before. This is always amazing to me having… Continue reading The Name of God

Someone recently asked me if I would ever go back in time maybe to being a teenager and do it over again. I replied that the only way I’d ever go back is to be able to take the knowledge I have now, such as it is, and perhaps change some things of the past.… Continue reading Time

In my devotionals and at worship this past week, the word majesty has popped up many times. So much so that I cannot help but think God wants me to say something about it in my blog today. With all the rain and gloominess we’ve had these past few weeks, it’s amazing to sit here… Continue reading Majesty

I love the concept of having an anchor. As we know, an anchor is used to keep something steady, secure and in one place. This world has a way of taking our boats into a current that maybe we either didn’t pick or didn’t see coming, or ones that we choose on our own that… Continue reading Anchor

I had never heard the word shofar until a read a book a few years ago by Christian author Francine Rivers called And the Shofar Blew. It is a good book about a preacher who becomes too prideful and conceited and ends up making choices that ruin his life; a good lesson for us all.… Continue reading Shofar

Do you ever feel like you’re falling apart? You just don’t have it all together? I think most of us have felt that way some time or another. Maybe you feel that way all the time. Maybe you feel that way right now. Let me give you some hope. Some of you may have heard… Continue reading Falling Apart
