This is a special time for reflection, repentance, giving and growth. It’s a time of deeper intimacy with the LORD and what HE has done for us. HIS grace shines ever so bright! PHILIPPIANS 1: 6 “AND I AM SURE OF THIS, THAT HE WHO BEGAN A GOOD WORK IN YOU WILL BRING IT TO … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
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’

The depth and seriousness of our sin condition should not be taken lightly. I find that daily GOD convicts me of my sin…….HE always seems to highlight those sins, whether big or small and I am realizing more and more my need for a Savior. There are Christians today who have accepted JESUS but HE … More THE DEPTH OF SIN
Time moves quickly……..are you known by GOD? I think it is human nature that we all want to be known by someone, anyone. People are always seeking to belong and to be loved and to be seen. OUR GOD IS THE GOD WHO SEES HE sees you and HE sees me and in GENESIS HE … More KNOWN AND SEEN
My husband recently got some hard news and thinking of our lives and thinking even on a larger scale you just realize that we are all terminal! No one gets out of here alive, do they!
