You may not feel like you really lean on anything, but think of when you are scared or stressed; what do you turn to? Our flesh wants to turn to things that numb the pain, such as drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, sleeping, binging television or social media, online shopping, and anything else that brings distraction.… Continue reading What Are You Leaning On?

You Have To Let Him
How many times have you been hurt or confused and prayed for comfort or help but turned it down when it came? Often, we pray, but when God comes through, we don’t let Him. We either don’t like what He says or are prideful and decide to do things ourselves. We don’t let Him work. … Continue reading You Have To Let Him
Living Abundantly Through Charity
First Corinthians chapter 13 perfectly defines this word. This passage is one of the places you can replace charity with your name. If it fits, that’s great! But most of us can’t completely align with this chapter and have some work to do. Myself included. As Christians, charity should be a prominent characteristic of our… Continue reading Living Abundantly Through Charity
The World Our Kids Are Growing Up In
Paul writes to the churches of the New Testament and often has to address sin. Usually, it’s topics like witchcraft, fornication, and pride. Two sins that most parents still worry about today. I’m a millennial. And most of the older generation says, “I can’t imagine raising kids in this world.” Or “I can’t believe how… Continue reading The World Our Kids Are Growing Up In
Your Ideal Home
What would you say if I were to ask you to describe your ideal home? Do you envision a house and a yard? You may want a garden, a barn full of animals, or a perfectly manicured yard with a fence and a pond. What about the inside? Is it an open floor plan and… Continue reading Your Ideal Home
It’s Not Just Sitting in Church
Recently, I talked to a friend who is going through a hard time. They aren’t in church; they have a rocky past, which makes them question their salvation, and they aren’t sure what to do about their situation. During our talk, they said they don’t see how going to church daily fixes anything. There has… Continue reading It’s Not Just Sitting in Church
Silly Women
“For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,” (2 Timothy 3:6.) The beginning of this chapter speaks of how people will act as we get closer to the coming of Christ. We are told of perilous times. We know that… Continue reading Silly Women
Conviction or Convenience?
The word conviction is no stranger to Christian circles. We often say that we came under conviction and realized our need for salvation, or that we have a conviction against some sin or habit that we feel is wrong. I want to ask if you truly have a conviction on something, or if it is… Continue reading Conviction or Convenience?
Living Abundantly Through Temperance
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23 “And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly… Continue reading Living Abundantly Through Temperance
The Day My World Changed
Sunday, August 4, 2024 at 8:21 a.m., I received the worst news of my life. My worst fear had become reality. My Daddy had passed away. He was a truck driver, and he was at work. I am sharing this partially as a personal update, partially because it helps me to talk about him, partially… Continue reading The Day My World Changed
