Our Best Days Are Ahead

Our best days are ahead and incredible things are coming! I don’t know about you, but it seems as if life is in a bit of an uproar right now. I barely look at the news and all I see is conflict, unrest, and division. Praise God for the Bible and His direction and peace! […]

We are in a War

We are in a war: good vs evil, right vs wrong, moral vs immoral. I am going to present a conversation I have been having a lot lately in regards to this: The world is getting so evil, the Lord will surely be coming back any day, right? No man knows, not even the Son.

You Never Know What Is Preparing You

You never know what is preparing you. Seriously, it is rather fascinating to consider. Do you ever look back at certain things in your past and suddenly have an epiphany of what that was preparing you for? Or even realize that if it weren’t for the experience you had had in one area, you never

Delight Yourself in the Lord

“Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart.” -Psalm 37:4 Do you take time to delight yourself in the Lord? To build a closer relationship with Him and get to know Him more personally? Church and church groups are nice, but if you don’t already, learn to look

Renewed hope is a beautiful thing! You can be going along, living life, doing your job, caught up in the rigmarole of another day, when suddenly someone or something knocks you out of your groove.

Back to School

It’s that time of year: back to school! As a child, I loved anticipating the school year approaching. I remember my mom stacking up my books, getting everything ready for the first day.

His Blessings Often Come Disguised

His blessings often come disguised – a line that caught my eye in a book that I’m about to finish reading. The author is talking about the importance of faithful prayer and how God always answers it. He says that often our prayers are answered in ways we don’t understand, but that God’s blessings often

Choose the Dream

Sometimes I really don’t think well on my feet. I can be too literal and instead of figuring out the intent of the question asked, I simply hear what was said and it hangs me up. This happened to me earlier this week. I was working at the coffee shop and a random, well-meaning customer

Never Take Counsel of Your Fears

General Stonewall Jackson was approached by a timorous subordinate general who admitted grave doubts about a planned military sortie. “General Jackson,” he said, “I’m afraid of this. I fear we can’t quite carry it off.” Jackson replied, “General, never take counsel of your fears.” I came across this quote in a book I’ve read and
