Who’s In Charge?
Prov 20:7 The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him. Among the myriad of complexities that attend our times, there has been a detrimental role reversal among fathers and children. As one author asked, “Who’s In Charge?” The glaring issue is the increased gap between fathers and their children. Instead […]

God knows where I am …
Job 23:8-10 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him: But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried […]

Three months…
Summer is finally upon us for which I am thankful. In relation to the school season and the many vacations that are planned, I offer this word to you. Three months is the traditional time between the school season which often dictates our year. It’s also just enough time to change the course of your […]

Selfless Directive
JFK’s best quote has been debated for a few decades. I tend to lean toward this one: “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” While Kennedy probably took the quote from a private school professor where he attended, the truth behind the words are profound. […]

No Room for “Common”
Num 11:29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD’S people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them! It was a moment of correction when Moses spoke the above text to a young and perhaps naive Joshua. God was about to anoint […]

Darkness and Light
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Moses stood before Pharaoh and threw down his rod. The scripture tell us that it miraculously became a serpent. Not to be […]

Living Sacrifice
On a weekly basis I write within these narrow margins hoping to inspire something virtuous or encouraging within this body of believers. The scripture itself provides a plethora of subjects from faith to sacrifice and everything in between for our benefit, but today I write a warning and a truth. May I simply say: The […]

The Potter’s House
An insight into the Mind of the Omniscient One…. Paul writes in Romans 9 that God has the authority to show mercy upon whom He will have mercy. The apostle asks, “Who is man that he should talk back to God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made […]

Crown of Thorns
Often lost in the mix of the Passover story and the wonder of an empty tomb is the process of the Lord’s sacrifice. Before He walked up the Hill of Skulls, Jesus was given a tightly woven crown of thorns. Every aspect of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection speaks to both prophecy and our salvation. […]

We lay down our lives
Today we remember the beginning of the ending of the earthly ministry of Jesus Christ. This was His triumphant entry into Jerusalem as the people shouted“Hosanna, Blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord.” They tore branches from trees and laid their coats before Him. Little did they know that He was a […]
