Last week I shared the first of three resolutions I am committing to for 2024. I mentioned last week that I  find myself re-resolving these same three things because I still wrestle with consistently applying these practices to my daily walk. From last week: 1. Time spent with Him (Joshua 1:8 & 9) If you don't live for the Lord, [...]

Well...here we are once again...launching into a new year. Of course we do not know what this next year holds for us but we certainly can be INTENTIONAL about our commitments. I don't know about you...but I certainly attempt to begin each and every day with a new commitment to look more like my Lord and Savior; [...]

From my house to yours...I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Of course I prefer to spend the next one in Heaven with the Lord and all of you. Like many Christ-Followers, during this time of the year, I reflect upon the incredible courage and faith of a young Jewish girl [...]

Merry Christmas. He is indeed the Reason for the Season! In that Bethlehem stable the light appeared, but we have a real enemy trying to draw us back to the darkness at every turn. It is for this reason Jesus said in Luke 11:34, "Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole [...]

Pastor Phil has been walking us through a wonderful series on the light that surrounds the Christmas season. Light and Scripture are beautifully intertwined.

Pastor Charles Stanley (Celebrating this Christmas in Heaven) wrote in his ongoing publication Timeless Teachings of Dr. Charles Stanley that the most important question every person must answer is: Who is Jesus? "When He was with His disciples, He asked them this question: 'Who do people say that the Son of Man is' (Matthew 16:13). They gave Him several opinions they'd heard, [...]

Happy Thanksgiving my friends. I trust this week you will be filled with sincere hearts of gratitude, and that you can experience a time of rest and peace with family and friends. One of the signs of the near return of Christ is a sharp increase in Apostasy. Apostasy is a term used to refer to those who have fallen [...]

This is a true statement from the Word: If you desire to mature in your faith all you need do is ask! (Matthew 21:22) A familiar passage in Romans 4:18 - 21 reads: "In hope against hope he believed (the context is referencing Abraham) that he might become the father of many nations according to that which had been spoken, [...]

We are living in tumultuous times! The ongoing conflict in Israel has once again affirmed that God's Chosen People, whether living in the Promised Land or in enclaves around the world, are despised and rejected simply because they are His. The Denison Forum comments from an article dated 10-11-23: "From Egypt's genocide in the time of Moses to the [...]
