Finishing Well


Genesis 48 “Consider the Legacy You Leave Behind” Jacob has not always been faithful to God throughout his life. He has schemed and lived a life that was less than honorable but in the end, he realizes this truth: even “If we are unfaithful, he (God) remains faithful, since he cannot deny himself.” And so […]

Are You Satisfied with Your Life?


Genesis 25 “Are You Satisfied with Your Life?” “Abraham breathed his last and he died at a good old age, an old man who had lived a full life.” How is it that Moses could say this about the patriarch? He could because Abraham “believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness.” He […]

Forgive Me but Really????


“Do not be rash with your mouth or hasty in your heart… for God is in heaven and you are on earth! Therefore, let your words be few.”[Ecc 5:2] God often brings this verse to my mind as a gentle reminder of who I am and who God is. Who we are is often revealed […]

Mo Matter What, Who, When, Why, How or Where…God Can Be Trusted!


“No Matter What, Who, When, Why, Where, How…” Are you are a believer in Christ? Then you need to read and reread the book of Job because you need to know the God you serve and His and your adversary. This is not just a well I will but it is a book that YOU MUST […]

No one was able to learn the song except the one hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth.” [Revelation 14] Julie Andrews’ song echoes in our heads: “The hills are alive […]

“Bait and Switch”


We have all been approached by salesmen who say you have to take advantage of this deal today because tomorrow it will be gone. Beware, these are very persuasive people!  These were and are today the enemies we face. In Corinth there were those who sought to use these tactics to show Paul in the […]

The Permanence of the Eternal God


Life seems so short. This week seeing the children I taught now with their own children growing up so fast was a wake – up call as to the fleeting life I now live in contrast to the permanence of God. I am just like a rose in God’s garden, I need tending but eventually […]

Psalm 119: 1-8 “The Deadly D of Distraction; The Cure: Focus”


Dead men do not sin; Living Men Embrace Grace. [Romans 6 and 7]. As parents, we know the joy of our children’s obedience and the sadness when they step across the line into disobedience. It is not just our children but we too struggle. The psalmist reminds us that we are only truly happy when […]
