2 Corinthians 3:5 says, “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;” Sufficiency is defined as “the condition or quality of being adequate or sufficient.” And “To have an adequate amount of something, especially of something essential.” Is God enough? Is His Word,… Continue reading Is the Lord Your Sufficiency?

Is the Lord Your Strength?
Strength is defined as 1.“the quality or state of being physically strong.” 2. “The capacity of an object or substance to withstand great force or pressure.” Life sure brings great force and pressure, doesn’t it? Trials, heartache, spiritual warfare, peer pressure, demands of others. It is all demanding and takes great strength to withstand. And… Continue reading Is the Lord Your Strength?
Are You Willing to Get Your Hands Dirty?
Are you willing to get your hands dirty for the sake of someone else? Jesus did. I can’t get over these two accounts: The woman with the issue of blood was considered unclean, and when she touched Jesus, by the law of the day, He would’ve been unclean, too. The lepers that Jesus touched would’ve… Continue reading Are You Willing to Get Your Hands Dirty?
Murmurings & Disputings
Philippians 2:14 says, “Do all things without murmurings and disputings:” This is a command. God didn’t say to “try” or to “mostly” do things without murmurings and disputings. He also said all, and as you know, all means all. The context of this verse is Paul writing to the church of Phillipi. This verse is… Continue reading Murmurings & Disputings
Arise & Build
What is God asking you to build as a Christian, wife, and mother? Your faith? Your home? Your testimony? The heritage you are leaving for your children and grandchildren? I believe now, more than ever, women are under attack. Our femininity and place in the home are mocked and belittled. It is time to arise… Continue reading Arise & Build

Living Abundantly Through Forgiveness
“And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.” Ephesians 4:32 Forgiveness is something we all like to receive but don’t always find easy to give. However, it is a command. God does not desire anyone to live with an unforgiving spirit. Unforgiveness leads… Continue reading Living Abundantly Through Forgiveness
Are You Salty?
Matthew 5:13 says, “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.” This verse is part of the Sermon on the Mount that Jesus preached… Continue reading Are You Salty?
Argumentative or Persuasive?
In our culture, everyone has a positive twist to every negative characteristic. Memes show us that being stubborn is really just standing our ground and that being argumentative is just being persuasive. They seem easy to believe. Why shouldn’t we look at things positively? After all, is it so bad to stand your ground or… Continue reading Argumentative or Persuasive?
King Hezekiah
The account of King Hezekiah that I’d like to share comes from 2 Kings, chapters 18-20. Up to this point, Judah has had its share of wicked kings. There have been some that did recognize the Lord, but not to the extent they should have. Then we have Hezekiah. Chapter 18, verse 3, tells us… Continue reading King Hezekiah
