When did we lose our wonder? When did we start seeing miracles as commonplace, and blessings as expected? When did grace cease to be amazing to us? Since I have returned from Haiti, these questions have been running through my mind, so this is what I have concluded. It seems to me that the church […]
I hardly know where to begin describing my trip to Haiti. My life will forever be changed by that experience. We arrived in Haiti Friday night around dinner time, so we picked our beds and went into the dining hall/ team center for our dinner. The next day, we didn’t really have a set […]
A Still More Excellent Way Today I will be speaking on 1 Corinthians 13, verses 1-7. Before I begin with chapter 13, I will summarize chapter 12. Chapter 12 talks about spiritual gifts and their usefulness and importance. In the conclusion of the chapter, 1 Corinthians 12:31 says,” And I will show you a still more […]
Have you ever felt defeated? Have you ever experienced something so tragic that you felt like you could never recover? I think every one of us has felt these things before. You look around you at all that is happening, and you ask, “God, how could you let such bad things happen to such a […]

I am, a difference maker Oh I am, a difference maker Oh I am, the only one who speaks to Him And I am the friendliest of friends of God. I am on fire for God, I have done so much for Him and I go to church every Sunday. I even sponsor […]
” The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”. A famous and noble quote from President Franklin Roosevelt, this has been repeated times beyond measure in an effort to reduce fear. As Christians though, this quote makes no sense. The only thing we need to fear is God Himself, though unbelievers have more […]
