Life can be odd in an interesting way. After writing “Choose Kindness” last week, apparently, God decided He would test me and see if I live as I write. Some of you are aware of the situation at the DMV this week, but please bear with me as I summarize it for our ministryofmercy.com website…

As often happens, I had one sermon chosen and God had a different one. As I was waking my mind up this morning playing a word game, a story came across my phone. The title queued my interest and I spent an hour listening. Although it was presented as non-fiction (true), my research leads me…

A few days ago I was relaxing and letting my mind drift. I started thinking about my childhood and how I couldn’t wait to turn 18 and be able to live life on my terms. Then I thought about how I joined the Air Force at 18 and although there was a lot I didn’t…

Whole body health includes our physical, mental, and spiritual being(s). Many people focus on one part or another but are remiss in addressing their entire being as each part is connected to, and dependent on the others.

I continually hear people talk about needing more money. I often witness people who put their “treasure” in the bank and live a miserly (meager) life, seeing the bank account increase, but never enjoying the fruits of their labor. My psychologist puts it like this “If I don’t fly first class, my children will.” I…

I felt this was the perfect subject as we are getting ready to enter a new year. It is a new chance with 365 days of opportunity to make our lives better than they have ever been before. It is God’s WILL that we live peaceful, happy, prosperous, and fulfilled lives. He set this plan…

This sermon will be short and to the point. Although many of us get excited and happy during the Christmas season, a lot of people get depressed. There are vast numbers of people who are alone and lonely. Others suffer depression due to losing loved ones, being deserted by family members, or because they are…

Many people think that God arbitrarily made up a lot of rules to quell human rebellion and to make us obedient robots. This sermon will show you that God made rules to protect and guide us into having a happy, fulfilling life. God’s Word has many do’s and don’ts. I will discuss a few and…
