It doesn't matter who is Baptist or who is Catholic, or who worships on Saturday or who worships on Sundays. God created us equal. It doesn't matter who is Italian or who is Mexican or who lives in a home country or who lives away from their own country. God...
There is assurance that Jesus will always speak the truth. In this day and time the truth isn't always popular but it keeps us out of trouble. As the world has more and more of an attitude of wanting to please a crowd, God never changes. That is the beauty of our...
A masterpiece takes many types of brush strokes and many colors to make it perfect. Some brush strokes are very harsh while others are smooth and glide easily. Sometimes God will actually paint over an area that we might think is beautiful. There are some colors...
When we don't quite know how to handle things, He is our Counselor. If we don't have the words to pray, He still knows our hearts. When we are alone and afraid, He is our comforter. When we need a shoulder to cry on, He is our Dad. When we don't know where the...
When we walk with the Lord we are never alone. Following in His footsteps does not guarantee a smooth path. Many times His path is totally opposite of ease. We are sent as sheep among wolves to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. He directs our path step by...
Seek the Lord and He will be found. God speaks when we are still and listening for His voice. Jesus sought many times to be alone to pray. That’s where He gathered strength to continue ministering. When we take the time to be alone with God, He will renew our...

Sometimes obedience means standing alone against what is popular. Losing a job, position in a group or friends is sad but once God fixes everything up, the respect from these same people is priceless. God knows exactly the right timing and circumstance to bring about...
