Ever Wonder What Ticks God Off?
Some people see God as irked, ticked, and ready to strike. Others see Him as gentle, tender as a prima dona moving about carefully while her fingernail polish dries. Well…is He mad or not? Scripture shows us what ticks God
On This 4th Of July And Always YOU were Created To Shine!
In another life, I produced a fireworks show called “SkyConcert” that was choreographed precisely to music and broadcast live on TV and radio. In 25 years of doing that event we were never rained out. I asked the Lord once
Don’t Worry, God Has A Plan!
Sorrows and trials don’t discriminate. They come to all of us at all times and seasons – even Christmas. Perhaps the gifts you’ve purchased for loved ones aren’t the only burdens you had to carry on Christmas Day. What
Whose Kingdom is This Anyway?
I have always been far too preoccupied with my own glory. I don’t like saying that because it sounds terrible. And embarrassing. And deeply sinful. God does not share his glory with anyone else and our lives need to be preoccupied with
What if your turnaround depends on you tithing?
Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes on Him will not perish but will
God’s Presence in Suffering
The book of Job is not only a witness to the dignity of suffering and God's presence in our suffering, but it's also our primary biblical protest against religion that has been reduced to explanations or "answers." Many of the
Your Pain Maybe because YOU’RE in God’s Dental Chair!
Some people have an aversion to going to the dentist. They wait until it’s absolutely necessary to see one, and others never go. I can understand the fear and dread that can come with a dental appointment, even though I
9 Things to remember When You Feel Like a Failure!
Sometimes it is real, other times it's imagined, but the feeling of failure is acute. Disappointment in one's self is heart breaking and soul damaging. Paralyzing to the very core. But as the saying goes, failure is not fatal. Nor
Being a “Tool” for God!
So… in conversation recently, one of my closest friends called me a “tool.” But before you get all offended for me, let me clarify. My friend wasn’t referring to the slang term that’s used to describe someone who’s particularly nasty
God Does Want You To Win, But Not with wrong Spiritual Ends!
Spiritual ends are never achieved by carnal means. Back in Egypt, as you may recall, Moses had "looked this way and that," then murdered an Egyptian and buried him with sand. As we have already noted, Moses may have thought
You Are A Masterpiece!
If you pass your days mumbling, "I'll never make a difference; I'm not worth anything," guess what? You'll be sentencing yourself to a life of gloom without parole! When you do that, you're questioning God's judgment. You're second-guessing the Creator's
Tired of going through?It could be a test!
"Good morning class. Clear your desk. We have a surprise test today". Do you remember the agony and the butterflies that filled your stomach when the teacher would announce a surprise test? They never came at a good time.
No Matter What, Keep Dancing With God -Who Brought You!
Years before your junior prom, long before your kindergarten rendition of the hokey pokey, God began a dance with you. Before He sketched you out, He first sat down with a pen and paper and orchestrated every line of your
Maybe God intended what Has happened to you to give you “Wings”
"Grab here, amigo." I grabbed. "Hold on tight, por favor." I held on. "When you come back toward the shore and I blow whistle, you pull cord pronto!" Within seconds I was airborne. A loud "whoosh," a long strong jerk,
