It is Jesus, Son of God who today sits at the Father’s right hand, who is soon coming for His bride. Think about that! Jesus, the unblemished Lamb who gave Himself for us! I haven’t worn a tie for years and prefer casual over getting all dressed up, but I do try to wear clean,…

Yesterday was a momentous day in world history. I was on the road, so I listened to the news with the play-by-play of President Trump’s visits to Israel and Egypt. I love people, and I love the Church, and it gave rise to a lot within me regarding our future here on the earth. I…

PART 1 of 3Forgiving others, especially without their asking for it, is one of the hardest things that Jesus requires of us. It’s a common stumbling stone on the path of life and many Christians get stuck there. I know that very well and so do you. You would be right if you surmised that…

God intends that our “cup” in life be full and running over. He wants us to have abiding freedom, peace and joy without the handicap of the pains, anger, fear, sinful habits, worry, and emptiness of soul that burden so many. He wants that for us so badly that the Father sent His Son to…
