War and Oppression 3.0
I thought that since today was Halloween, and often referred to as the day of the dead or Satan, we would continue this theme because of the scariness of the whole concept. War is scary and every day people are traumatized by it in our present world. Yet, God continues to tell us not to […]
War and Oppression 2.0
Yesterday we began talking about war and hostility. Today, I want to continue that subject with a further look at society’s bend on it and how it capitalizes, not just on war, but fear itself. To illustrate the point, consider one of the best-selling books in our society’s recent past: Sun Tzu’s The Art of […]
War and Oppression 1.0
The upcoming subject matter is often questioned and hard for me to discuss because I am sure some of you will not have similar views. Some Christians don’t even believe the concepts I will present pertain to or apply to someone who is saved. Yet, Truth is challenging and, at times, forces us to broach […]
Transparency 2.0
Yesterday we talked about the value of having a mentor outside of our family. Earlier in the year we discussed things to look for, but yesterday we focused on the fact that God will provide just the right person if we ask. Once you have linked up with person it will be critical for you […]
Transparency

Yesterday we talked about the uncertainty of change and the way it rattles our cages at times and often brings about stress. We also introduced the concept that change is one of those good things that helps us grow and develop as individuals. Change requires that we execute the faith we embraced when we made […]
Change
Over the years I’ve learned that change is one of the more difficult aspects of life for many of us. When younger, change offered a bit of spice to life and seemingly made it more interesting. What I did not realize during those early years was that variety rarely allowed one to savor the […]
The Presidential Election
We are only two weeks away from the election of a new government. I can see temperatures rising in people who are normally more reserved as we see our country taking turns that would never have been anticipated when I was young. While I know that life evolves and change is a constant, there are […]
Leaving something behind
Over the past week or so, we have talked a lot about the spiritual walk and the benefits it provides to you during the process. Besides divine insight, knowledge and wisdom enabling you to make the better choices, it also provides you with a sense of peace and stability as you meet the demands of […]
Pride or Courage?
As we continue to walk through our time of considering walking in the Spirit, I would like you to think about some distinct differences between what I am asking you to do and what the world might normally see in a person who is not like everyone else. I don’t mean weird, but unique. They […]
