Think Godly Thoughts

Since we have been “Raised with Christ” according to Colossians 3:2, we must have heavenly mindsets. This earthly life is temporary. Our eternal home is with God — whether in Heaven or here in the New Earth, ultimately we are citizens of heaven according to Philippians 3:20. Our lives are hidden with Christ in God”…

The Prodigal Son’s Dad

Lessons from The Prodigal Son’s Dad All that mattered to the father in Luke 15 was that his lost son had come home. He didn’t even want to know what sins he had committed. The Prodigal had been dead, but was now alive again! JESUS did not come to SHAME sinners. Jesus came to SAVE!…

God’s Promise of Security

Scriptural Promises

When we pray for our family and others as they’re growing up in Christ, our desire is that Father God would reveal His ways, His plan to each of them. When social media and encounters with friends in school try to deconstruct their faith, we want our folks to stand strong because they know who…

Praying for Children Who Have Been Trafficked 

One of the ministries for which I make hundreds of daily phone calls (to pray with folks) is THE SOUND OF FREEDOM FOUNDATION. This ministry extracts,  rescues, and places trafficked children into suitable (and mainly Christian) homes for healing. Many of these have lived on the streets and are orphans. Let’s pray for all the…

What Does the Future Hold?

Lord, I don’t need to see the end-just show me the next step. When the road isn’t clear, when I’m standing at a crossroads with multiple options, I desire to always choose to trust Him. I ask God for wisdom, believing His promise in James that He gives it generously. I rest in His love…

The Prayers of My Forefathers

They call today “April Fools Day.” But God wants us to be wise. He intends for us to honor, agree with, and build upon the prayers and righteous acts of our forefathers. Of course, we are not to conjure up the dead or pray to or for them. But today I honor my parents, especially, for…

Jesus Christ is “The Door”

Entry into God’s kingdom and family, though, is entirely under His authority. In John 10:7-9, Jesus declares, “I am the door.” Salvation is found only through His finished…

College students are standing boldly, professing their faith in Christ, being baptized, and declaring that Jesus is Lord.  The Kingdom of God is…

Regarding Erroneous Religious Teaching

We must be precise and contemplate when hearing religious teaching whether or not it is truth or error; for there are so many lies out there, and many believe these.  People’s minds get in the way.  Or they simply I have not read the Bible for themselves. So much teaching is not in line with…
