Just like lifting weights to strengthen our muscles, we also can strengthen our spiritual muscle. Our whole lives in CHRIST is a continuing sanctification process. We each have a spiritual muscle that we can strengthen when used as we grow in listening to the FATHER and obeying HIM. WALK BY FAITH AND TRUST WHAT YOU CANNOT … More STRENGTHEN YOUR SPIRITUAL MUSCLE
Like the strength and beauty of an old tree with deep roots, our spiritual roots need to run deep also. I often hear the comment made at our Church that people were drawn to our messages because they ran deep. DEEP ROOTS GROW OUR FAITH In order for us to live an abundant, meaningful life, … More ENDURING DEEP ROOTS
How often do we obey GOD only to do it imperfectly! We may be in a hurry or even in a mood. Ugh we are such imperfect beings! We realize with every step we take, we are fallen, sinful beings, but at the same time, we desire to obey GOD even if our obedience seems half-hearted. … More IMPERFECT OBEDIENCE/STRONG FAITH
There is no one else on the planet like you………or me. GOD made us unique and that is shown in our DNA. But how often do we look to others wishing we were like them and having their kind of life? GOD had a purpose when HE made each of us and we are given … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS

Sometimes however, we let our flesh choose and that is surely when we run into trouble. Oswald Chambers has said this: always guard … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
I have to wonder why so many people push GOD away……is it because they are unaware of their sin, know GOD is there and choose to go their own way? I came across this scripture yesterday and it made me ponder where I am in my own obedience to the LORD and I hope it … More OBEDIENCE TOO COSTLY?
Have you ever heard the Spirit’s voice speaking to you and thought: OK LORD, I will get to that in a minute? How often do we hear and know the Spirit’s prompting to us, and we put it off? EVERYONE IS GUILTY OF PUTTING OFF TOMORROW WHAT SHOULD BE DONE TODAY! We all have done … More JUST A MINUTE
Reading in the Bible about the parting of the RED SEA and JESUS walking on water might influence us into thinking that we as followers of CHRIST, are small and insignificant. Sometimes we think our love for CHRIST needs to be shown in grand gestures. And when we think that way, the enemy gets hold … More THESE THINGS SHOW HONOR
The Christian road we all walk is not always an easy one. If you think on it, we walk counter to the culture. I was always taught that if I walked along the side of the road to always walk against the traffic so that I could see the oncoming cars. In a way we … More WALK A ROAD OF WELCOME
