I Did Not Laugh
It’s really easy from the standpoint of a reader to judge the characters. If you read quite a bit of fiction or even find yourself engrossed in an exciting television series like Heroes or CSI, you might find yourself judging from afar. Why did the character do that?

Praying for Healing
One of the topics that came up in the book The Power of Praying Together was “one of the prayers you will be asked to pray most often for other people will be for healing.” If you are familiar with Stormie Ormatian’s Power of Praying books you know she often uses scriptures to form prayers. From reading her books it has been truly refreshing to see how God’s Word and prayer truly work together.

How to Adjust your Priorities
A few weeks ago, I talked about setting priorities, using the story of Martha and Mary. In this familiar story, Jesus scolded Martha for not making him a priority. Now mind you, at first glance, it might seem Martha’s preparations for her special guest made it appear Jesus was a priority. This assumption goes downhill when her obsession with her workload causes her frustration. Jesus is the one who requests all come to him who are weary and burdened (Matthew 11:28), Read More...

Walking in Mary Shoes
few weeks ago now, I mentioned I would post my word for the year on my blog. It’s sixteen days into the new year and I need to publicly post the word, mainly because I keep hearing the word over and over again.

Even though he was the wisest man in the world, Solomon inherited a flaw from his dad, a deep love for beautiful women. Solomon went above and beyond by marrying 700 foreign women and keeping 300 concubines in his lavish palace.

"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is good and acceptable and perfect will of God." Romans 12:1-2 NIV
