    Sugar Addiction is Not Fun

    One of the questions I am asked the most is how can I stop eating sugar like you did? That question is one I personally never asked myself because I didn’t want to give up eating foods made with processed sugar. I never thought I would have to do that. I foolishly thought I could

    Thankful for the Good and the Bad

    How can we be thankful in the midst of everything going on in the world today? We’ve been through a lot in the last few years and I just want to stop a minute and thank God, even for the difficulties many of us have gone through. One of my favorite songs is “Through It

  • Toward Unity

    Toward Unity

    As Christians, we don’t do the best job of building each other up but that is exactly what Jesus wants. It must be front and center after we lead someone to Christ. The next thing must be building that individual up, helping him or her learn what the Christian life is all about. This was

  • The Josephs Are Coming!

    The Josephs Are Coming!

    The Lord has been burning this in my heart for several days. He gave me a picture of many people who have been in different types of prisons: financial, relational, occupational, emotional, physical and the like.

    Why Fruit and the Gifts of the Spirit Must Flow Together

    Have you ever heard it’s all about tone? This is a typical conversation between husbands and wives. Many wives say it’s not what you say; it’s about how you said it. I do believe this is important. I have heard prophetic words where a person’s passion or emotions were more predominant than the Word of

    Are You Preparing for a Flood?

    Of all of the people mentioned in the Bible, Noah is probably one of the best known. There are countless children’s storybooks that share stories about Noah and the ark.
