Dear Father, I come to you today in Jesus' name and I really desire to have your wisdom and knowledge. I honestly want to walk in such a way that I can be kind to those who speak against me, and I truly want to seek their good. I know that without the Holy Spirit I cannot do this, so fill me with your Spirit today. Let me be kind and loving; and change my heart from being defensive and argumentative, to being loving and kind. Help me speak the truth in love,…

Genesis 3:8

"And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden."



Jeremiah 23:24

"Can anyone hide himself in secret places,

So I shall not see him?” says…

Lord, we also ask you to forgive our national sins of racism, abortion, strife, hatred, pornography, adultery, lust, idolatry and our many other sins. Be merciful to us. We realize we deserve judgement in our land for these sins. However, we are asking that you send a revival among us so that we might turn from our wickedness and our land be spared. Help me to do my part in changing this nation. Although my life may only represent one drop of rain, there are…

So, it was time to make a baby. After the first month of no success we just thought, "be patient, these things take time. We are a little up there in age so that may be the factor." But after 6 months we started exploring alternatives. We visited a fertility clinic and he gave us the best course of action to take. Going this route the chances of multiples increases. So I thought having twins would be kind of cool.

 So finally the day came. My wife was pregnant. I did the best I could…

Finding the Finish Line

Every life is like a marathon. There is a beginning and an end with markers along the way. A good marathon runner will not begin the race looking 41.3 kilometers down the road. He will strive to successfully make it to the first marker and then the next until the race is completed. His race is a bunch of shorter races. When each goal has been achieved he…

 The year was 2000. I was living the high life (or so I thought) I was single, had a good job, my own house, and I was just enjoying this spontaneous lifestyle that I created for myself. Nobody to worry about but myself.

 Then Lynn walked into my life. She was different than all the other girls that I dated in the past. Life was too easy before she came around. She was able to get me off my so called high horse. She was exactely what I needed.

 So, we had a courtship that had a…

Dear Father, I am grateful that you have left us the Bible with all of its wisdom and knowledge so that we do not get lost in this life or overwhelmed by the problems that we face. I do thank you that for every problem we face, You will help me find the answer and overcome in the situation. Help me not only be able to overcome my problems, but also Lord, help me to maintain the proper heart attitude as I work on the situations in my life that need changing.…

Father, may I have the strength to resist temptation and always walk in Your ways. Lord, Your ways are not grievous, but given to me to help and bless me. May I realize this, when you correct me and not rebel against Your restraints. Give me grace to overcome those things that are not pleasing in your sight and yield to your Holy Spirit. I know there is no temptation that I face that You have not made a way for me to escape it and overcome it. You are all powerful and I acknowledge my…

Father, please give me wisdom in my personal affairs so that I might walk in your blessings and prosperity, that I, in turn, might be able to bless others. Lord, give us wise men in the places of authority to lead us as a nation. May your wisdom be applied in the market places of our land and also to our economic situation at the highest levels. Father, give us wise men to rule over us -- men who will be just and fair in their dealings, men of character.…

Good Day, Friends~ 

Today I put ‘Christmas’ away—the ornaments, the garlands, lights, my holiday music, and my Nativity set.  It is always sad for me because it means celebrating baby Jesus is over for the year; on the other hand, it is the start of a new year, and a new year is always full of possibilities, which is…

No Fear of God

In the church today God is described as a God of love, mercy and grace. Jesus Christ is our defender…
