Simplify, Like Jesus...
Simplify... What do we really need to TRULY live, thrive, and be? I like to break things down, to understand what matters most, because too often I live overwhelmed, HOPELESS. Maybe you're like me, there is always a lot coming at me life is packed with decisions the need to be made, commitments that need to be kept, demands come from every direction and hey my own broke-ness and craziness is always in the mix too. Thankfully, their is HOPE, not a concept, but a Person. And even better, this Person, God, He loves to speak to those who SEEK Him, Jeremiah and Jesus, they lived by this TRUTH! How about you...

Christmas Is Coming...
The invasion, occupation, and oppression was self-inflicted, a result of the leaders and peoples rebellion against God. Their depressive state and experience, the gloom and distress, was self-imposed, and born out of choices that opposed their God and His Way. The result, a humbling.

Gone Astray
Ever found yourself pounding your chest, leaning in hard, mouth wide open, barking, "I'm RIGHT!" You're WRONG! I think that certainly describes the times we are in as a people and as a nation. All the finger pointing in the world won't rescue a single "Lost" soul. Jesus' answer to this finger pointing, is striking, challenging and potentially, life altering for the ones who choose it.

"That Hits!" I've heard and seen this expression used a ton on social media lately. But really, does it HIT?! "My eyes shed streams of water..." This expression that "HITS," why? Tears because we DO NOT KEEP Your law.

Lord, Hear and Act...
Turning to God, pleading for His forgiveness out of our sorrow filled confession, because we as a people have gone our own, destructive, way draws the heart...the ear...the gaze of God towards us.
Keep Reading Daniel's Confession & Plea!
Daniel pleads with God, who is merciful and forgiving, to bring His people back home from their enslavement Babylon. Daniel's prayer challenges us today, to get real and pray for God's divine intervention. Today in America we need God, if we don't get RIGHT with Him, we as a people are in deep trouble, just like Israel in their rebellion.

The Greatest Reason To Give Thanks
The Greatest Reason To Give Thanks... During Thanksgiving the ramp up to Christmas becomes most evident when go to the local mall or big box retail stores like Target, Walmart, TJ Max, and the like. We American's show our thankfulness by going on spending spree's mostly buying gifts for loved ones and friends, and sometimes, perhaps treating ourselves to a few special things that are written in our letters to Santa. Maybe we're celebrating our good fortune by spending our fortune? Maybe we're just glad we are surviving corona? Maybe we're just escaping the trauma we endured during the election? Whatever it is...we Americans celebrate Thanksgiving by spending, Black Friday, am I right.

A Beautiful Sacrifice For You
During the COVID19 stay at home order; take time to personally reflect on the beautiful act of sacrifice that Christ, God's Son, made on our behalf. No church services, and no meetings to physically attend; so it's time to STOP and Be With God, the Father.
Our priority during this new season remains the same, loving God and loving each other.

Poor and Needy
"But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinks upon me." Is that really how you see yourself? In our culture, in America, is it ok do see yourself in this light? Do you want to see yourself in that way, poor and needy. Do you believe that this statement is true to who you are, how you live, how others perceive you to be, poor and needy? David, the greatest king Israel ever had laid claim to these words, describing his state of being, poor and needy. A king poor? A king needy? How can that be...
