  We all understand who God is, and we all understand who Jesus is, acceptance in both cases is not the issue. But… the third person of the God Head, the Holy Spirit, is undoubtedly the least understood and the least appreciated. Yet His role in our lives is potentially unparalleled. Part of the problem may have been when His name was translated […]

  Another way of stating that question is… what do you do to rekindle your passion, your fire for the  Lord and His work when the cares of the world, or life’s demands begin to intrude and distance you from your life in Him? What happens when the ashes start to cool? What do you do?!

  I have to admit that I don’t fully comprehend hope. It is my contention that hope is the least understood, least defined, yet one of the most important companions one can associate with as you travel through life. Oddly enough, it is a word that is consistently used in our daily speech. I know it isn’t

  I realize this title might be a bit off putting. It may seem quite inconsequential, even bordering on disrespectful. What I am attempting to do is to have you look at the ‘type’ of Christian you are.Which of these three conditions: ? or . or ! describes you? Let me define them and then you can see

  What if… for just one day you put God and His word first? This would mean that you would have to read it and DO what it says – to the best of your ability. There are only a few behaviors that you would really need to focus on. Using scripture as the basis, God

  Do you feel blessed? Do you know you’re blessed? Do you ACT like you’re blessed? The last question is the most important but is based on your answers to the first two questions. Blessed is not arrogant, it simply is a confidence in who (and whose) you are and the path you are on. It defines your mental

  Have you ever really considered those two words? Without Faith… What comes next is critically important – it is impossible to please God. Impossible! That really puts the word in context. From the beginning of man’s existence I believe God has been trying to teach man how important faith is. How faith is what

  Milk and Meat in the Christian world really has little to do with the length of time one has been a Christian. It has more to do with how you’ve applied yourself. While you wouldn’t give a steak to a baby, you also wouldn’t give only milk to a person who needs strength to
