I'm excited about the new series of "The Chosen". Season four is coming out now in theaters. If you haven't seen seasons one, two, or three, I encourage you to do so. They are excellent. To see the life of Jesus and his disciples portrayed on TV is dramatic and exciting as they interact with one …
Power of the Tongue
God has given us something very powerful and we need to know how to use it. The Bible is full of exhortations about the tongue. The more significant meaning is the use of our speech. What we say continually is important. Look at this scripture-Proverbs 18:21 (KJV) -21 Death and life are in the …
Tests, Trials and Temptaions
There was a time as a young believer when the triple "T" scared me and it was also confusing to me. I honestly avoided scriptures that talked about tests, trials, and temptations. There was one of the triple "T's" I was more sure about than the others. The problem was a lack of understanding of …
Gird Up Your Loins

Ephesians 6:14 (KJV) -14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; In the Amplified Ephesians 6:14 (AMP) -14 Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of truth around your …

The last verse states; You broke the bonds And you loosed the chains Carried the cross Of my shame Oh my shame You know I believe …
The Voice of a Stranger
Have you ever got a call and you didn't recognize the voice? Maybe you got a text message and you didn't recognize the number. It happens at times. Do you remember how it made you feel? You felt cautious, a little wary, apprehensive, or even afraid. Like who is this? How did they get my number, etc? …
It’s More Than Ink
The Word of God changed my life. It's more than ink on a page. It is supernatural! Some years ago while on vacation my wife and I visited a large Church. It was like walking into a mall. As we sat for service we were excited to see what service would be like. As we looked around in the sanctuary …
God has an Attitude
They say attitude is everything. "That your attitude determines your altitude"-Zig Ziglar. How high you can go in life. How do you see God in your life? Do you think He has an attitude? When we say that a person has an attitude we generally think a bad one. We seem to go to the negative in our …
Friendship with God
How many friends do you have today? I mean how many close friends not just acquaintances? Some say that you only have a few close friends throughout your lifetime. Friends that you can be sincere and transparent with. There may be some reading this and you have no close friends. That can be very …
