I Have Been Waiting

Why are we so impatient?  We always try to be in control or want things to happen right at that moment.  People want circumstances to happen on their timeline.  It shouldn’t work that way.  God has his own timeline for us.  Do you ever notice that when you are...

Gift of Grace

 “God personalized his gift of grace for each of us who believe.  His will for us is our will, which is a different journey or path for each of us.  Our gift from God allows us to grow spiritually so we can love, honor and become closer to him in a personal...

Pride and Humility

When pride comes then comes dishonor, but with the humble is wisdom.  Proverbs 11:2  Pridefullness comes in many forms such as feeling superior in your appearance, achievements, abilities, intelligence, children, etc. and can also be used  to hurt others in what you...

To Be in the Spirit

In Romans 8, God spoke of the flesh, referring to our body and all the earthly things that affect us.  When you succumb to sin with regards to these earthly desires, you push yourselves away from God.  God saved us from the death of sin when He had Jesus die on the...

How do we know what God has planned for us?  What is our path?  Having the patience to wait for God’s will to unfold is very difficult.  We want to take matters into our own hands and accomplish things in our own timeline.  Do not let this world or your...

Self Worth

Self worth is one of the hardest issues to deal with throughout our lives.  At anytime we can doubt who we are, what we say, how we look and how we act.  I notice that this self doubt is especially prevalent among young adults and teenagers.  Much of their identity is...

Patience

Patience comes in many different forms.  Usually we want events to happen on our time, which is in other words, right away.  We should be patient in relationships, whether we want someone to do something or someone has done something too quickly.  Be patient in...

Sin

Why do we sin?  How do we avoid sin?  Sin comes in many different forms.  To me sin is selfishness.  Sin is according to our wants, whether it be material things, money, lying, disobedience, deceit, anger, jealousy, bitterness, unforgiveness, and so on.  All acts of...
