Throughout the history of humanity, one thing has remained the same, human nature. In spite of all our technological advances, our ideological manifestations, and our superior reasoning capacity, we remain self-centered, self-seeking, and self-consumed. The very core of our human nature hasn’t changed since Adam and Eve decided to “do their own thing.” Through the […]
Take it to the Streets
Take it to the streets, that’s what I say. If you want a real challenge towards practicing your faith, take it to the streets. Get in your car, put your seat belt on, turn the key, put the car in gear, start driving, and practice the “gospel” by spreading the “good news” while driving on […]
Stop and Listen
We are constantly listening, the noise pollution never stops. Our ears are overworked whether it be self-imposed as a result of our own activity, or imposed upon us by this noisy world we live in. Aren’t we told by Jesus to “listen if we have ears.” But, unfortunately, we are not taught how to listen. […]
God as my Co-Pilot
Tired of the cold weather, so am I. But, what can you do, you can’t escape the weather, and if you do (for a little while), you’ve got to come back and deal with it whether you like it or not. And so it is with life, you can’t escape life itself, and if you […]
Ashes and Dust
Some of us put ashes on our forehead to remind us that “we are dust and to dust we shall return.” It’s humbling to think of ourselves as mere “dust”. But, let us remind ourselves that in “dust” are the very particles of life, and only God can take those particles and create life as […]
Supernatural Power
Power is a beautiful thing, if it’s handled and channeled properly. How well and effectively power is utilized depends on it’s source. If the source is from within a person then concerns must be raised about selfish intent and self-seeking motivation. If the source is from outside a person then concerns must be raised about […]
Seeking Glory
I remember singing a camp song entitled “Glory Hallelujah Jubilee.” It was all about giving thanks and praise for God’s glorious presence in our lives. There are two types of glory. The fleeting glory only this world can give with all it’s pomp and circumstance, and the eternal glory only God can give without all […]
Spiritual Discipline
Discipline is a scary word, because it implies hard work and dedication towards a particular cause. And yet, I can’t think of a more important word, especially when it comes to being all you can be. We live in a country where we have the freedom to live fully and completely as God intended us […]
Believe and Receive
Trying to impress upon someone the importance of changing their life is not an easy task, especially in light of the fact that we are all in need of constant change and for anyone to assume anything different would certainly be presumptuous on their part. But, there are times when a radical change may be […]
A Story to Share
We all have a story to tell. The good times and the bad, the happy and the sad, the smooth sailing and the rough seas ahead, thar’s what life is all about. We all have something to share, of what we’ve experienced, or are currently contending with, or looking towards the future. Isn’t it great […]
