This has been an interesting week for us as a family. Do you ever look back over your life, and wonder what you are doing in a certain place, how you got there, and how long you might stay in that holding pattern? Have you ever felt an unrelenting attack from the enemy, and felt…

The Asking Agenda
James 4v1-3 “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don’t get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you…
Isaac’s Ram in the Thicket
Genesis 22 tells of the account of Abraham journeying with his son and a few servants to the mountain where the Lord had instructed him to go – and sacrifice Isaac. Most of us are familiar with the promise God made Abraham, that his descendants would number the sand, and here Abraham receives the test…
Haiti’s Nightmare
When the news first hit the airwaves concerning a massive earthquake in Haiti, little attention was given to the severity. There have been rumblings here and there, but who would have thought that 10 short miles below the surface of Port-au-Prince a massive 7.0 earthquake was to ravage the city, and bring devastation beyond comprehension?…

How do I carry my cross?
I was sitting here thinking to myself, how amazing life can be. That the outcome of what we pursue is often the very thing that keeps us busy day in day out, sometimes for good and often for worse. As the years passed I have had some lucky breaks, but along with those breaks came…
Rich man, poor man…
This is pretty much a verbalization of something that has troubled me today, if it means anything to you, great, if it doesn’t that is great too, I just have this urgency to share and “put it out there”. Does it work like this for you; just randomly going about your day, and then suddenly…
Caution: Building Plan Required
Luke 14:28-30 Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who see it will ridicule him, saying “This fellow began…
