It’s useless these spiritual resumé’s we make. They won’t redeem us or get us into Heaven either. But oh, we do make them. No amount of quiet time, volunteering, Church attendance, or small group participation will get us near those pearly gates. And do we build our spiritual lists to get other’s attentions or even … More OUR SPIRITUAL RESUME’
GOD’s goal for us is to make us more like CHRIST and not to give us everything we want in this life. HIS love for HIS children goes beyond anything we can imagine on this earth.

We might not feel worthy at the moment, but HE calls us worthy. And worthy is the LORD! Worthy is HE who forgives our sins and our transgressions.

Let this year be a year that your faith grows and grows. I pray for me and you that we will not walk in fear. Fear is a funny thing that sneaks up on us when we least expect it. Fear of the unknown works like this. Fear can grip us in a hard way … More NO SLAVE TO FEAR

It’s interesting to me how your focus on gifts change as you grow older. I now identify with the phrase: I really don’t need a thing. Because what I do need more than anything in this season of my life is JESUS. Isn’t HE just the perfect gift each year? HE is and always will be what CHRISTMAS … More MAKE JESUS THE CENTERPIECE OF THIS CHRISTMAS

All things that are perfect belong to GOD and GOD only. HE is perfect and true and righteous. HIS perfect love casts out fear. I’m grateful today that there is ONE perfect ONE……..that means I am not and never will be no matter how hard I try. The more we read the Gospels, the more … More BE MINDFUL OF HIS PERFECT WAY
