Cling to the Psalms, if you’re going through it!
The Psalms are a treasure-trove of scriptural delight. In fact, many memorable worship songs are drawn from this part of the scripture. From Marty Nystrom’s “As the Dear” (Psalm 42) to Matt Redman’s “Better is one day” (Psalm 85), contemporary
YOUR November can be Great! God has a “Plan” for you!
It’s not often that you embark on a journey without knowing where you are going, is it? When I travel somewhere, I usually like to know the route I am going to take to get there, how long it is
Need to find hope in the midst of trying times?
We all go through trying times, periods when our mettle is tested and our capacities are stretched to the max. We all desire to avoid such periods of stress and possible pain, but it’s a fact of life that they
God will help you stay afloat this Year!
Storms come. We can count on them. God never promises us a challenge-free, trial-free, pain-free path. It is up to us to learn how to navigate in stormy waters. The Bible is our manual for doing just that. The Bible
No matter what, don’t let your “song be silenced”!

Ever wonder what God is up to with what He’s allowing?
So much is going on in the world today is an understatement. The corona-virus, shutdowns, impeachments, riots/protests, elections, etc. It is difficult not to get caught up in all of it. With all this going on, we have to believe
God is seldom early but then He is never late!
Have you ever felt like you were stuck in the waiting room of life? Like God is pushing pause on whatever you had planned? Maybe you feel like He’s forgotten you or is intentionally frustrating your plans. It can be
Confidence to Face the Future!
At 13-years old, I sat in the ophthalmologist's examining chair. With my face placed on the chin rest and my pupils dilated, the doctor shone a bright light into my eyes. "Hmmm…" he said. Then he leaned back on his
Want New Blessings? Give God Your Calendar!
I am keenly interested in considering a subject we all deal with — managing our time. For some of us, it seems as though time manages us; for others, we are glued to our calendars and our calendars are the
