I recently read this quote by Paul David Tripp in his devotional book entitled: New Morning Mercies……. “WHATEVER CONTROLS THE WORSHIP OF YOUR HEART CONTROLS YOUR CHOICES, WORDS, EMOTIONS, AND ACTIONS.” Our hearts worship and tend to love something. We can get obsessed about an idea, a person, place or thing. It seems to be … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
There is no place I would rather go for wisdom or advice than the Bible. Because a written document gets it’s authority from one place: the author of the document.

Recently our study in Church has taken us to a small little book near the end of the Old Testament called HABAKKUK. The book itself only has 3 chapters and can be read in one sitting. It is a dialogue between the prophet and GOD; a lament in that HABAKKUK was very troubled by the … More TWO LITTLE WORDS
How often do we sit or set a table, whether it be for ourselves or for friends? A lovely table is just that, inviting and a joy to look at. When JESUS sat at the table with HIS disciples to take communion, the men around that table must have wondered what the bread and the … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
In the past and sometimes even now, I tend to think I need to give GOD only my best. My best words and actions and self. But then it happens because life happens and I am overwhelmed with problems and worries. This past year for our family has not been easy.
