Did you know that Psalm 119 is both the longest psalm and the longest chapter in the Bible? The theme of this psalm is the practical use of the Word of God in the life of the believer. This is one of my favorite psalms because almost every line mentions God’s Word. The opening word […]

Live with Endurance
When long-distance runners race, they settle into a pace that enables them to run for miles without tiring. This pace doesn’t come naturally but rather by spending months, even years, training and focusing on their goal so this “sweet spot” becomes second nature. You also have a sweet spot in your race of life that […]

JESUS IS ENOUGH
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite days of the year! We celebrate it with lots of food, family, football and watching the Macy’s Day Parade. But woven throughout all of what we do is an attitude of abundant gratitude for the blessings God has given us. Every day I write what I am thankful for […]

Lose Your Tension
Why does God say, “Be still, and know that I am God…” He knew that in a world filled with busyness you would experience tension which is one of the worst of all depressants of the spirit. When you are tempted to fill your schedule with one more activity you will find yourself in a […]

Iffy Thinking
Do you have “iffy” thoughts that dominate your life? Thoughts like: “What are we going to do IF that happens? What IF that does not work out? How will I manage IF that happens? IF only I had that! IF only I had not done that!” “What IFS” and “IF onlys” can monopolize out thoughts […]

Where Do You Stand?
Sooner or later you have to make your mind up where you are going to stand. We cannot be in the kingdom on Sunday and then be in the world on Monday. In these days, we must decide if we are going to be Christians and act like Christians all the time. We live in […]

Are you Set Apart?
Everyone admires people who set themselves apart from mediocrity and devote themselves to excellence. Athletes devote themselves to rigorous training to be a “stand out” in their sport. We love stand out athletes, stand out performers/actors, stand out doctors, stand out inventors/scientists…you get the picture. As a follower of Christ, God has called us to […]

LAUGHTER IS A GIFT FROM GOD
Laughter is a gift from God, a gift that He intends for us to use. I love to laugh and I love to make others laugh. In our busy lives, you should always look for the humor that surrounds you and when you do, you’ll find it. I believe optimism and cheerfulness are products of […]
