God’s Plans Are Unstoppable
In the book of Exodus, we learn about the ten plagues God sent to Pharaoh to encourage him to let his people go. “Then the Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is hardened; he refuses to let the people go.” Exodus 7:14 The Israelites had been slaves in Egypt for...
A Tree is Known by its Fruit
In Matthew chapter 12, verse 33 says “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit.” The same can be said about us – we will be known by the fruit of our lives. Our fruit is displayed in our...
The Wedding Ring

Are you an Admirer of Christ or a Disciple of Christ?
I heard that question recently in an interview I was listening to, and it caught my attention. The speaker went on to say that the way to know the difference was if you were willing to suffer for Christ. An admirer admires Jesus but a disciple follows Him, obeys Him...
Has Disappointment Distanced You from God?
I didn’t want to admit it but I found myself in this place. I found myself distanced from God, and it was not a good feeling. Disappointment has a way of stealing our joy, doesn’t it? And if we allow it to, it can also distant us from a loving, all-knowing God. I had...
God’s Heart Towards You
Do you ever feel like God is disappointed in you; that there’s no way He could forgive you for what you’ve done or your sinful past? Or that you’ve gone too far or been away from Him for too long? Can I tell you those are all lies? Every one of them. God’s heart...
