Our burdens can lead to a Kingdom adventure
Hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit allows us to feel the heart of the Father. Sometimes we sense a burden, a heavy weight, for someone or something. Our hearts are heavy with care, and we’re not sure what to do. That’s one of the ways God draws us into His Kingdom work. We haven’t…

Class in a Church Bathroom
(Originally posted as “Troubled Waters”, 3/20/2013) Lots of life’s lessons happen when we least expect them. It all happened about 30 years ago, early one Sunday morning. As usual, I arrived at our church around 5:30 in the morning. I enjoyed having extra preparation time, time to pray and worship God, and time to relax…

Are you so tight that you squeak?
Have you ever known people who complained incessantly about how they never had enough money, yet were so tight with everything they owned that they squeaked when they walked? Maybe I’m exaggerating a little, but really, there are people who are so tight fisted with their money they seem to squeak every time they consider…

Only One Shot At Life
No one determines if or when they will be born, and most haven’t a say regarding the day they die. But we all have some input on how we’re going to live out the days in between. Whether we only have 10,000 days, or a whopping 35,000 days (almost 96 years), we only have one…

A Drop In The Bucket
I’ve had troubles. I’m pretty sure you have as well. No one has to ask or plan for trouble; life seems to have enough to spread around. When you least expect it, trouble has a way of suddenly appearing out of nowhere. But guess what? All our troubles are a drop in the bucket compared…

Hate is a Kingdom of God trait
Everyone knows God is love. Yet I believe we should understand He is capable of hating. A pure, undiluted hate. And as He is, that’s how we’re supposed to be if we, in fact, are followers and imitators of God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. But should we hate when we’re part of…

What is happening to our nation?
“In God We Trust” Those words have been on all U.S. currency since 1957. Which seems a bit odd to me. Because ever since that time, this nation has steadily increased its trust in everything BUT God. However, I don’t believe God is ready to throw in the towel, or ignore those who call on…

You say you don’t believe in God…
Although there are many people who’ve convinced themselves and others that God isn’t real, God knows the truth. He knows He exists. “For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar…” (Romans 3:3 – 3:4…

I pity the fool
To the people of this great land who believe you’ve made it as far in life as you have without God, you are to be pitied. To the ones who say, “Leave me alone; I don’t need anyone telling me how wrong I am…”, you are to be pitied. Jesus told the apostle John to…

Step into the Supernatural
Most people would agree there is a “natural realm”, and a “supernatural realm”. I do. Do you? Hollywood does. So does God. And although He dwells within the supernatural realm, He can easily affect the natural realm without any difficulty (and He wants to!); He simply wants and needs cooperation on our part. I’m not…
