Do Prayers Have An Impact?
And If we know that he hears us – whatever we ask – we know that we have what we asked of him.” 1 John 5:15 As we approach this July 4th weekend and we remember our nation’s independence, we will continue to look at the characteristics of God that we receive from Him. God’s faithfulness to us as we walk with Him is a characteristic that we can count on. Let me ask you a question: Do you ever…

God Is Worth Our Hope and Trust!
“By faith, Noah built a ship in the middle of dry land. He was warned about something he couldn’t see, and acted on what he was told …. As a result, Noah became intimate with God.” Hebrews 11:7 (The Message) We can have hope for tomorrow because God is worth our trust. Imagine this scene: One day God comes to Noah and says, “I’m disappointed in human beings. In the entire world, no one but you thinks about me. But…

Steadfast Love

The refrain begins, “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases.” In…

When You Can’t Fix It All
As the world keeps moving around us and we go from one tragedy in our world to the next, it can seem to be overwhelming. This stress and sense of being overwhelmed can get so bad that we not only have spiritual aches, but it can affect us physically as well. When I was a child and I would hear an older person saying “they died of a broken heart”, my mind could simply not understand the words. I never…

Blinded by Christ’s Love
May we always and only see others through the lens of Christ’s love. The view is completely different depending on which pair of glasses we use for our view. Below is an article that was written by the Board of General Superintendents in the Church of the Nazarene. As I read it, I felt it was important for everyone to ‘hear the heart’ of those who help guide us as a denomination. I value these words from Peter: “Peace to…

Choose Faith and Ask for Help!
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians 4:6 (NLT) When faced with the reality of a situation that is overwhelming, the best thing you can do is focus on God. The disciples, in Matthew 8, knew that Jesus could do something about the storm that threatened their lives as they were tossed on the sea. Their answer to the overwhelming storm was to ask Jesus…
