It is a fact that selfish people suck. I’m not saying that in anger or to be mean. Selfish people are like vacuums in that they function in a way that is always trying to fill themselves. While vacuums are powered by electricity, people that suck are powered by pride. The pride of life, which... Continue Reading →
I want to give thanks to GOD for rescuing me from a life of dysfunction. By His mercy and truth, I am learning to live according to His purposes and intents instead of stumbling through life bumping my head and skinning my knees and hands. I am glad to be living in such a way... Continue Reading →
There have been times when I greeted people in the morning and they replied, “Same crap, different day.” Maybe you have gotten that response before or a more crude variant, but the sentiment is the same.

Grace is the expression of GOD’s love for us given in the form of multiple opportunities to... Continue Reading →

It is a reality that we were made for GOD. YAHWEH created us to fill us with His love, so inherently we have an infinite capacity for Him, because He is an infinite being. What happens when we are not in relationship with Him and are incapable of receiving all the love He has for... Continue Reading →
My hope and my confidence for now and the future are in Christ the Lord. To many intellectuals, this may seem foolish, however it is the very reason I do not live in uncertain times. It is written, "The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.” (Psalms 19:9) It is the convictions... Continue Reading →
Four weeks from today, many churches around the world will be celebrating services related to the resurrection of Christ, the Savior. The Savior is also referred to as the Lamb of GOD.
