Experiencing Victory Amidst Daily Conflict
With God’s help we will do mighty things, for he will trample down our foes. (Psalms 60:12 NLT) Earth is the battleground of the conflict of the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of God. From the time Lucifer was cast out of heaven (to earth) for rebellion and pride, earth became “without form and void, and darkness covered the face of the earth (Genesis 1:2).” God created Man to take authority and have dominion over the earth and satan’s cohort. However, in like fashion as Lucifer, we (Man) chose to pridefully… Read More
What Are the Things Money Can’t Buy?
Choose a good reputation over great riches; being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold. (Proverbs 22:1 NLT) Character and integrity are rare commodities, the value of which cannot be expressed monetarily. Money can buy a house, but character builds a home. Money can make you popular, but character provides true friendship. Money can buy position, but character earns respect. Wealth of resources and depth of character are not mutually exclusive.

Two Ways to Praise
Sing a new song to the Lord, for he has done wonderful deeds. His right hand has won a mighty victory; his holy arm has shown his saving power!

This morning I listened to the news update regarding the tragic deaths caused by a massive tornado that ripped through Oklahoma. That news prompted me to pray for… Read More
A Woman of Wisdom: a tribute to my mom
When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness. (Proverbs 31:26 NLT) My mom is a wealth of wisdom, yet her words are few. Don’t get me wrong – my mom is an effective communicator. From her infamous daily chore list to her detailed schedule for babysitters, she knew how to communicate and care for her boys. Even today I enjoy receiving her informative monthly newsletters, updating their itinerary as traveling ministers. She keeps people in the loop, giving enough details to tell the story, while still keeping… Read More
Living with an Eternal Perspective
“So you, too, must keep watch! For you don’t know what day your Lord is coming. (Matthew 24:42 NLT) In the beginning of time, God created Man in His image – and Man was perfect. But Man willfully rebelled against God and sinned, knowing that it meant certain death. The Lord, in compassion and covenant love, offered the first blood sacrifice in order to temporarily atone for sin and to cover Man with animal skins. Then, The Lord came to earth in human form and made the eternal and final atonement for… Read More
