Sigh. ya’ll… We’re brothers and sisters, we share the same blood, the same heavenly father, and we are all made in his image. In the midst of the riots, ridicule and ruin of recent days, how should we as Christians respond? Riots: Some supporters of Mrs. Clinton are scared and upset by the way America’s recent election ended. They are out on the streets, exhibiting their fear by protesting, rioting, causing physical and property harm to others. Ridicule: The election of […]

The Night No One Showed Up The invites had been delivered, the house cleaned, soft music played and the diffuser was putting the delightful scents of fall into the air. The table was spread with sundry treats and swag bags were waiting to be claimed. Everything was ready, food bought and prepared, nothing was lacking to make this a great evening.

Putting Jesus at the Wheel

There’s a country song called “Jesus Take the Wheel” and I’ve always loved it. In the song she loses all control and cries out for Jesus to take over and it’s a good reminder of what he can and will do. But I’ve been thinking about putting Jesus at the wheel to begin with. Instead of waiting until everything is spinning out of control to ask Jesus to take over, why don’t we let him take over now before things […]

You know, you could take all of the self-help classes for adults that the world offers on anger management, and what to do when you are verbally attacked; but they all stem from one original idea. To stop and think before replying. Who gave this idea? Why Jesus, our Christ when he was here on the earth. In the gospel of John there is a scene. The enemies of Jesus, who know how he stands on sin, are determined to […]

With today being the National Day of Prayer; I thought I would talk a little bit about praying as Jesus taught. A really good quote I once heard goes like this: “We don’t pray to tell God what to do; we pray so God can tell us what to do” <– Tweet that. The quote got me to thinking about prayer and how Jesus prayed, so then I decided to look up just what he told his disciples about prayer. […]
