I recently had the privilege of spending a few days with my parents over Mother’s Day. One of my aunts had passed, so I drove them out of state to her memorial service. My Mom and Dad are both in their 80’s and doing extremely well for their age. During our trip we had time to laugh, reminisce, and enjoy…
Cindi and I just finished attending a pastors conference where the theme was “It’s Personal”. I’m an introvert. Cindi is an extrovert. If you know us, that’s no surprise. Cindi once told me that if I wouldn’t have married her, my life would be boring. I can’t disagree. God made us, including our personality traits. Often we may find ourselves…
What if God wrote a book about His divine plans for your entire life here on earth before you were even born? And what if that book exists right now in a massive library in heaven? If so, I would want to find out what God wrote about me and fulfill everything recorded in it. How ‘bout you? This is…
The other day as I was walking out of Walmart with a cart full of various items, a gentleman stopped me and asked to see my receipt. He then scanned the receipt as well as a few items in my cart. After a few moments he said, “all is well, you are free to go.” In other words, he confirmed…
How would you feel if God interrupted your day to use you to minister to someone who is desperate for answers from heaven? Would you welcome it… be somewhat hesitant or say no thank you?

Imagine, the creator of the universe making an appointment between you and another person. That’s exactly what God does for and to us when we ask Him. The appointment may be for your benefit or…
Last week I approached the teller at our bank and said, “I have an unusual request.” “Okay” he said, “I hope I can accommodate.” I told him I would like to withdraw $200 from my account in large bills. One bill, nice and new, clean and crisp. The other in the old style, preferably tattered, torn, dirty, and greasy. He…
“When I see the blood”… that sounds like a strange thing to say, but that is exactly what God said which brought incredible peace and assurance of victory to the people of Israel the night of the Passover. They were faced with a final plague that would bring death to the first born of every household. The plague was to…
“I wish I could hear the voice of Jesus… I desperately need His wisdom and direction with all that is facing me right now” Unfortunately this is the cry of many Christians today and maybe you are echoing the same desperation in an attempt to hear from heaven regarding whatever you are going through. Does God want to give you…
Many people in life seek after riches, long life, and honor. These things are not necessarily bad but can become a snare if priorities are misplaced. What if I told you that the Bible instructs us that we can have these blessings if we follow God’s ways of wisdom. Proverbs chapter three teaches us that if we embrace the right…
