This week has been one of great challenges and unexpected news. It has also brought into my life physical blindness in one eye, thus creating many emotional responses and initiating many interesting thoughts. One is “What would I do if I become completely blind?” “Who can I trust to lead me in the darkness and…

Many people have heard the Bible/Jesus’ life described as the greatest story ever told, but I contend that the Bible is truly the greatest LOVE story ever! As we plod through life, going to church, listening to sermons, participating in workshops, or doing workbooks, we often miss the most important point of God’s love, discipline,…

Sometimes the trials we face in life seem overwhelming and daunting. At times we feel as though we will never experience happiness or joy again. We often feel weighted down with lead and feel we will surely sink to the bottom of the abyss without ever recovering. It is at these times of despair that…

Lately, we hear a lot about changes and sacrifices we need to make for the greater good. The “greater good” means to supposedly improve the quality of life for all people. At least that’s what “they” tell us. We also read a lot about people being taken over by governments and “leaders” in many older,…

Matthew 24:10-13 – “And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” If the above scripture…

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the words I have spoken to you. Remain in me,…

Many of my family and friends are suffering from many illnesses/ailments and are feeling hopeless as they face one failed treatment after another. Many people forget God has a plan for your health and prosperity (Jeremiah 29:11-12) and it is NOT His plan that you suffer through each day, hurting and feeling drained. We have…

For the last two weeks, I have written on love. Love is the theme of the Bible and is mentioned too many times to count, so we know it is very important to God that we love each other. However, knowing God’s position on love and the types of love does not give us a…

“Love Conquers All” is purposely written after my last sermon: Love is a Choice.” This sermon will explain WHY you want to choose to love everyone. To what does it benefit you to love everyone, even your enemies? In my last sermon, I quoted a lot of scriptures telling you that God commands we love…

Love is a choice, but also a COMMAND from God above. In John 13:34-35, Jesus says that we are to love each other as He loves us. That means UNCONDITIONAL love! This is far-reaching and meaningful in the Bible when we question what is meant by unconditional love. It is spelled out in Matthew 5:44-45…
