"13 I was right on the cliff-edge, ready to fall, when God grabbed and held me [Psalm 118:13, The Message]."

Rage-filled and loathing self, I was in a battle and determined to destroy myself. Not the self. My entire being. I did not know Christ within me, the Hope of glory! In my own eyes, I was evil. Unable to control my temper, ashamed, and drowning in a sea of self-created guilt and pity, I wanted out. I stepped to the precipice…

Jesus was all about truth. He said of himself, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life…”1 and “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”2



So, the truth is that Christianity has an image problem. Huh, funny thing, I googled that line, ‘Christianity has an image problem’, and look what came up:



The top of the first article had this picture—from Time Magazine--…

I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and keep his commands, decrees and laws.DEUTERONOMY 30:16

"Why do you call me Lord,Lord and do not do what I say? As for those who come to me and hear my words and put them into practice, I will show you what they are alike. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on the rock, when a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it because it was well…

1Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 

Worship is our deepest active expression of our love towards God. It is defined as regard with great honor or devotion.

It involves the giving of ourselves totally to the Lord. As Romans 12:1 says ..... offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-This is your…

I believe what you are today is the result of your decision yesterday, and what you will be tomorrow depends on the decision you gonna make today!

In John 14:1 Jesus is telling us not to worry but to trust in God, to trust in him the verse says > "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.(Jesus)<.

I strongly believed that when God says it he does it. So when he ask us to trust him, then why doubt, why worry, TRUST God! And stop worrying. Worry…

Valuable Things

A young man learns what's most important in life from the guy next door. It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, girls, career, life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.

Over the phone,…

Scripture: Acts 13:16-23

I. Introduction: How would you like to be remembered? Saints such as Abraham, Moses, David, Peter, and Paul have inspired believers throughout the ages. Each of them, although imperfect, is an amazing example of what the Lord can do through hearts that are truly committed to Him. Do you want to be like…

Situation: 

When my husband and I got married, I was debt free and my credit was good.

My husband’s credit was not good, he could not put utilities into his name, he had defaulted on a student loan, he had not paid back his mom for debt from his previous marriage, and he had back taxes due that I found out about several years since our marriage. 

When we got married, everything went into my name including utilities, vehicles and the purchase of our home.

We are…

I read this and just wanted to share it here! 

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. 

The animal cried for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. 

Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; 

it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. 

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. 

They all…

I hate Mondays.  It’s a day that I have to reflect on what happened on August 21, 2011.  That was the day my world was rocked and nothing has been the same since.  On August 21^st, I was arrested.  My husband and I had been fighting and after he called me names, I triggered and I slapped him which resulted in him hitting me, me falling to the ground, breaking dishes out of the open dishwasher and just crumbling.   At my request, my stepson called the police and I was the one that…

I have always been a person of little faith if none at all!  For as long as I can remember I've always jumped to the most negative of conclusions when it came to certain areas of my life. Not to say that at times I was wrong because I wasn't but at times I would be. I realize that many life experiences can mold you into the present being that you live in.

I have a big brother who has pretty much gone through some of the same hardships as I have growing up; being made fun of our looks,…
