James 1:22-25 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; or he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect …

Where are you dwelling?
Psalm 91:1-2 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Sometimes people feel that they are showing their “concern, love and support” by staying up on the latest…whether …
The Love of God Gives
When you know the love of God, you will no longer accept the lies of religion that tell you God is allowing you to remain sick, poor, or despondent for His divine purposes. It is His love that sent Jesus to deliver you from all of it. It was finished 2000 years ago. We not …
BE-LOVED
One of the greatest revelations I’ve ever received is that God wants only good for me. I believe this is foundational to understanding God’s true nature, character and will for mankind; and for us personally. It just downloaded in my heart one day: God didn’t want a particular situation I experienced to have happened the …
Faith and Grace
Sometimes when talking about faith, people get the idea that you’re trying to “get God to do something.” If you pray long enough, do the right things, get enough people to pray with you; then you might convince God to act on your behalf.

Something that would take you by utter surprise if it turned out differently than you expected. What is your reaction? It sometimes brings about …
A Garden-like Relationship
What kind of relationship did Adam and Eve have with God? Everything was perfect, and so were they. The Bible tells us they (and all of mankind) were made in the image and likeness of God. They also had a free will. So whether they stayed in that perfect state (united to God) was up …
Do you know who you are?
It seems the generation today is all about self. Who can make the biggest splash and get on tonight’s 5:00 news? Even people portrayed on commercials, talent shows, and the personalities on daytime programming all scream for attention. Everyone wants to stand out, and will do just about anything to get it. I make this …
Have you seen God?
People have all kinds of ideas of what God is like. Most make their assumptions from personal experience or what religion tells them. But what many fail to realize is that Jesus came to show us God. Jesus IS God in the flesh, manifested to show humanity the nature and character of God. John 14:7 …
Faith and Sovereignty
How do we balance our faith with God’s sovereign will? God’s will in our lives, and in the earth do NOT automatically come to pass. Am I saying God is not sovereign? No, not at all. However, some people in their effort to explain away tragedy, loss and sickness, attribute characteristics to God and call …
