Oftentimes I prayed, “Lord, I want to be like You.” Who He is, His love, His mercy, His grace . . . I no longer will. For I have concluded that striving to be like Jesus, has at times drawn me away from Him. Asking to be like Christ has been an unanswered prayer for me. An invalid request...

I just witnessed my youngest child's transformation. My son is newly trained to defend our country and freedoms. US Army Basic Training Honor Graduate. To God be the glory. Be blessed, Stay blessed, and be Bold!

“Under the Anointing†is a descriptive phrase I hear primarily used in Pentecostal/Charismatic circles. It is used apart from someone being “anointed†for a specific service or work. Whereas being anointed is more or less the favor and blessings of God being upon a person’s life and...

This morning was awesome with the Lord, so I guess this is a Praise Report! Yet it was also an awakening. Perhaps now a Prayer Request. Not sure which. Praise Report? Prayer Request? I was writing this morning when a bible story came to me. But for some reason, its' exact place I couldn't...

Jesus, In all this forgiveness, I’m learning You. I am speechless when You reveal Yourself to me. Speechless of Your wonderments. For You alone are Lord. Yet, I also weep. For when You are revealed, so am I. First I begin weeping with joy as I glimpse the beauty of Your splendor. You...

My wife brought this home and it's worth repeating (even if you heard it before). An elderly man in his 80's was at the mall's food court. On the next table sat a rebellious teenager with spiked hair. It was colored with blues, reds, oranges, and green. The elderly man found himself...

To say I only paused would not be telling for there was still motion. A reduction in speed would better qualify. Yet even so, it soon brought a halt to the momentum of moving forward. Then I stepped back. I don’t remember actually stepping back in this relationship. Sure in times past I...

The video says it all http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9O_OyOECm4&feature=related So I'm just asking if you could include me in your prayers some time this week. I appreciate it. Be blessed, Stay blessed, and be Bold!

One of the most awesome Easter messages I've heard came out of Luke 24:5, ". . . Why Do You Seek The Living Among The Dead?!" Sort of like, looking for love in all the wrong places! And yours? Be blessed, Stay blessed!

Your take on the message? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLPydDXUD6c Be blessed, Stay blessed!

I woke up this morning with the Lord instinctively telling me that I was on His mind. I know that for certain because Jesus was on mine. 1 John 4:19 says, “We love Him because He first loved us!†When it comes to God and the things of God, all we can do is respond. He initiates. Whatever...

Sometimes, and especially after being online for awhile (with so many threads and views to sift through), it’s good to come before the Lord with no agenda, no asking, just a longing to worship Him for Who He is. With that said, here’s a video I found to share. It starts with a heart cry...

One of the very few books I have kept and re-read occasionally in my nearly three decades of knowing the Lord Jesus Christ is titled, “The Cost Of Commitment†by John White. It ministered directly to me insomuch that it was a must read for those I was privileged to raise up in ministry. In...

He was going through one of, if not the toughest time of his life. It was the type of season where he would have to reach deep if he was to survive through this. Places deep within himself where there hung a self-portrait with all the emotions attached to it. A painting reflecting himself...

People who have no desire to attend church. A physical church. They say, "I believe in God, but I have no desire to attend church!" Question is, "Why?" Real Christian Living. Real Issues. Real Struggles. Be blessed, Stay blessed!

One day I saw a coin on the ground. Almost instinctively, as if mentally programmed from childhood, the thought came to me; “See a penny pick it up, all day long you’ll have good luck!†I remembered thinking, if not saying, those very words when I was young. I would pick up the coin and...

“It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves†- Jesus - Is this applicable in today’s church? If so, what could possibly turn His house of prayer into a den of thieves? Is it simply conducting a for-profit business at church (i.e...

If you were in the position (senior pastor/overseer) to change anything at church (i.e. how it is conducted, its’ focus, programs, music, leaders, anything!), What would it be? And why? This is addressed to Christians, Non-Christians, and Backsliders alike. If you honestly believe...
