Freedom!
“Give me liberty or give me death.” No middle ground in this statement. This is attributed to Patrick Henry when he addressed the 2nd Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775. Henry was credited with having swung the balance in convincing the convention to pass...
Why Pray?
It is my belief that most of us misunderstand the purpose of prayer. If it's only to get your way, you’re most times going be disappointed. And if you believe that God already knows everything that’s going to happen anyway, then why should I pray? What good would that...
For What Do I Pray!
The short answer is…anything and everything! Scripture is very clear on this. Meditate on what the Spirit writes through Paul to the Corinthian church. I underlined for emphasis. “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say rejoice. Let your reasonableness be...
Resurrection Is God’s Work!
This past Sunday our church and denomination celebrated Resurrection Sunday. As I was reflecting on it, I tried to imagine how all of Israel and especially the 12 disciples were feeling from Friday to Sunday morning. On the surface I am sure it felt like all their...

A Need to Know!
It’s never too early, or too late for that matter. But, the earlier the better. Some things you as a dad should possibly wait to train or share with your children. This is not one of them! It’s a life-changer for the recipient and for those who will be impacted by...
Faith is Everything!
Christ Jesus trusted his Father’s word or else how could he have sacrificed his life, knowing he, the Son of Man, would die and be buried like any other human. And lie in a grave tomb for a portion of three days, secured by a huge stone and guarded by the Roman...
The battle is won!
The battle, or at least enmity, between Ishmael and Isaac continues even today. We see it being played out in so many ways. The conflicts are ongoing, even now. From what I have been taught and learned through the scriptures from Genesis to Revelation, it will...
