Don’t judge one by anothers actions!
I was scrolling through social media today and noticed a trend. Why is it that many stories have a child (which this can also happen to adults) that is constantly being looked down upon for something that their parent did wrong? I wish that I could say that I never did this, but truthfully, I…

“Home is where the heart is.”
To me this phrase is true. It took a while to figure out where that home was, but once finally there, it is a wonderful place to be. Your home doesn’t have to be an actual place, that has a broken furnace in the bitter cold of winter like me. But it can also be…

Cold… but Sunny and Beautiful.
This is simply the most perfect picture to show what it is like where I live in Northern Minnesota. This last week, it has been between -20° F to 0° F and it only promises to get colder. Many will say that it is too cold, but in truth, this is one of the most…

Anxiety in the Christian life.
In the past, I have heard that a Christian shouldn’t ever have a reason to be anxious because they have an amazing God that takes care of them, whom they can rely on. Sadly, that isn’t always the case with every believer. Anxiety is actually a very common thing among Christians today. 91% of Christians…

Cyber-security or spiritual-security.
How often are we more worried about our cybersecurity rather than our spiritual security? Now, I am not talking about Salvation, that is eternal. What I mean is how easly swayed or manipulted our minds and emotions can be if not protected. Do we have security to protect us as we go through difficulties in…

What excites you for your faith?
This week, I got myself a new Bible…. “AND IT’S PINK!” Sorry… got really excited for a moment. But in truth, I was so excited to get this new Bible. The cool thing is that it helped me WANT to dig into my daily devotions more thoroughly than I have been over the last few…

Time for teens
Being a teacher for so many years has really given me a heart for all kids, but especailly our teens. They are expected to grow up so fast, but most of them have no idea what life is even about. We want them to know their desires for the future, when all they can think…

Grounded like Coffee
There are times when we just need to be grounded again. For me I like to go to my local coffee shop. I have no expectations for what I am going to do there, even though I usually pack a bag full of things I could do. But then I let God lead me in…

Lead by Example
In this day and age, we need good Godly leadership. I am not just talking at church, but also in the home, at work, and even among friends. Too often when we leave the church building on Sundays our “other” self kicks in. Now that other self is not a bad person, but they definitely…

Good Friendships Matter
Proverbs 18:24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. Proverbs 22:24-25 Make…
