Ephesians 3:17-19
The scripture says as many as are led by the Spirit of GOD are the sons (children) of GOD. Of all the influences around us, nothing should be more influential on us than the Spirit of GOD. Many Christians quote 1st John 4, where he says, “Greater is He that is in you than he... Continue Reading →
The Lord has given us many narratives in which to frame His magnanimous love for us. We have been given the narrative of a Father seeking to restore His family which has rejected Him, a Shepherd faithfully tending His wayward flock, the loving hands of a Great Potter restoring broken vessels to glory, a perfect...

The Lord commands us to love Him with all of our heart, mind, and strength. In other words, with everything we have. To many people this command doesn’t sound reasonable, or it can seem a bit excessive. However, when you consider that YAHWEH is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, can you really love...

I was thinking back to what people would go through to get a bargain on "Black Friday". It has become known as the day of the greatest deals before Christmas. I don’t think it is ironic but rather strategic that one of the greatest displays of covetousness now traditionally occurs right after a Holiday observed... Continue Reading →

When I say world, I am referring to “world” in the biblical sense of the following verse: 15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world,... Continue Reading →
Worship plain and simple means “to bow down to,” originating from the Hebrew word “shachah". We see it in the passage of Psalms 29:2 “Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.” Throughout scripture you will see the phrase “they fell down and worshiped Him.” ...

“11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:” (Ephesians 4:11-12 KJV) Christians who fall short of the glory of GOD don’t fall short because sin is so...

A good brother of mine shared a podcast with me recently that has a focus on the work of racial reconciliation. As Christians, the message we have been called to share is the redeeming message of reconciliation to the Father through the Son. It is in the context of that reconciliation that we are reconciled...
