Strong word today. When you dominate something you have a commanding influence on it. I heard a teaching by Dylan Daniel where he said, “Religion prepares man to leave earth.

Proverbs 6:16-19 lists several things God "hates," including haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, and a heart that devises wicked schemes.

I recently drove down a road that brought back so many beautiful memories. As I reminisced for a moment, I was immediately confronted with the truth of my present-day reality, which is much different than those beautiful memories.

Think about that for a minute? God didn’t created us for amusement. The entire universe was created for Him to please Him.

Believing is an action step that never stops. I remember the day my beautiful son went to heaven.

Today, I am sensing God saying, "I will put you together in front of those who broke you." Powerful word today. God is saying you will not only recover but you will flourish.

Have you ever felt like you just wanted to crawl into bed and stay there? It’s normal to feel like that once in a while, but if you stayed in bed, life would continue to move around you and you would have to catch up to it once you got out of bed

During the course of my life I can specifically recall times when, without a shadow of a doubt, God gave me a gift. A gift from God is different than a blessing or even a miracle.

The Bible says that we go through seasons. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 says, “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven."

What does it mean to turn? It means moving something so that it’s in a different direction. Too often, people think that an apology is enough but what is true repentance?

Have you ever seen an 18-wheeler truck on a highway carrying a heavy load? It’s almost awe-inspiring how one driver can manage to steer and operate it with such precision and safety.

What does the bible say about substance? Proverbs 3:9-10 says, “Honor the LORD with thy substance, And with the first fruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, And thy presses shall burst out with new wine.”

The highest praise to God in the Bible is Psalm 145, “I will extol you, my God and King, and bless your name forever and ever. Every day, I will bless you and praise your name forever and ever.”

Beautiful word today. One that ministered to my heart personally. I was reminded by God that He is above all. That means He is above your present circumstances.

My friend Jonathan Patternson recently wrote a strong post. This was the takeaway: Love where you are. Don’t be discouraged by empty rhetoric.

I believe many of us take the air that we breathe daily for granted. I don’t think it’s done intentionally, but if you think about the devil's mission which is to steal, kill, and destroy, taking life for granted is actually a tool he weaponizes to deter us from what is really valuable in life.

Yesterday, I wrote this short text to the beautiful ladies at church after hearing about the sudden passing of a shared friend we all loved dearly. The text said; Let us all breathe a shared breath with the Lord right now.

I saw this post by Dylan Daniel and it truly resonated in my heart. He wrote, "Victory is not proven on the battlefield but in the quiet wrestlings of the spirit.

Today, I am sensing God saying; Thrive in the light of your own brilliance. How beautiful is that? Too often, we allow people to darken our brilliant light.

I heard Colby Maier say; Patterns speak louder than promises. When you think about that, you're reminded that Jesus said by their fruit, you will know them.
