Read More4 Ways to Live Despite the Sting of Death
A few summers ago, I was at a water park with my children and I sat down on a bench to watch them play. As soon as I sat down – I was stung by a bee. I jumped up in pain, and immediately tried to look at the spot where I was stung…only I couldn’t because it was on my hind end! Once my daughter got out of the water, she confirmed I had been stung but since the stinger was in an unfortunate spot, we had to go to the first aid station to get it out. As […]

Read MoreStop Ripping Each Other Apart!
If you’ve been in the church for a while, then you have either experienced being torn down by someone inside the church or you have been a part of a conversation, where tearing down someone else was the topic of discussion. Jesus said “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” (John 13:35) Jesus tells us to love one another and yet sometimes we minimize this command and do not take him seriously. In today’s video, I share how this is something I have struggled with and I give […]

It is a dangerous thing to rebel against God. Those who rebel against God have no chance of winning.

Our God is the King of Kings! He is robed in majesty. He is strong, mighty and supreme over all creation. He has all authority, all sovereignty, all power, and all dominion! He is magnificent, beautiful, supreme in his splendor and none compares to him. Oh that we […]
