What do you do when you wake in the night? Do you worry or fret about the coming day or do you draw near to GOD and peacefully return to sleep? Our struggles may loom large in the middle of the night. Maybe because it is dark or maybe because it is a feeling of … More THE NIGHT WATCHMAN
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!

Good LORD’S day to all who follow here.

And the voice coming from the enemy is always a tear down, a question and a distraction away from the LORD. … More RECKLESSY ABANDON
God’s glory can be seen all around us. Never take it all for granted. HE displays HIS hands so we will honor and worship HIM. But it’s our every day self-glory that gets us into trouble. Who is on the throne of our lives? Who comes first? Because in GOD’S plan, it’s not about us, … More SELF-GLORY/GOD’S GLORY
In our lives, GOD often closes a door only to open another one for us. I believe this is due to the fact that HIS plans are always better than our own. ISAIAH 55: 8-9 “FOR MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS, NOR ARE YOUR WAYS MY WAYS, SAYS THE LORD. FOR AS THE HEAVENS … More THE CHALLENGE OF A BLOCKED DOOR
