GOD really is the only ONE who can save us from ourselves. We might think we can save or do all the right things, check off all the boxes, make religion our priority, but only JESUS saves…….period. JESUS CAME AND DIED TO SAVE THE WHOLE WORLD Now our minds know this, but how often do … More GOD DOES ALL THE SAVING
With all our searching and strivings don’t we always seem to come up empty handed? It’s sad really, because so many are lost and so many search to fill the hole that GOD placed in their hearts. We tend to seek immediate gratification and we don’t seem to find it there either. Our phones or … More WHAT REALLY MATTERS
The scene above and where I live in AZ is a continual reminder to me to praise GOD for HIS grace and mercy. I love the saguaro cactus and how they stand tall with arms raised as if to praise GOD in all of HIS creation. Some might think the desert is ugly, but the … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
Today we all celebrate Easter……..I pray we will all hold within our hearts what JESUS did for us who believe. The tomb was and is empty so that GOD alone gets all the glory.

YOUR gracious and good FATHER holds your world……….did you know? Our GOD holds all of it, not just some of it. And HE holds all of you and all of me too! GOD MADE YOU HIS WORLD BEFORE YOU WERE EVEN BORN That thought should be quite a comfort to you……..I know it is for me! … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
In light of the recent tragedy in Utah, we all should add one consistent small prayer to our prayer list and it is this……… “SEND ME LORD.” If you have been lukewarm for CHRIST, now is the time to be intentional on your walk with HIM. Stop placing the world’s wants before the LORD’S. Stop … More LORD SEND US!
It’s a battle that we all are currently in………have you noticed? These past couple of weeks the enemy has had his evil on display for all to see. Our hearts have been broken and we are rocked and we are angry too. Our feelings are wearing thin and so today, if you are reading this … More STEP OUT OF THE BATTLE
