Discipleship

Die to self. We hear this message over and over as Christians, but actually doing it is something all together very challenging. Last month I was reading in the book of Ezekiel, and as I read verse after verse and chapter after chapter, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the poor man based on…

Have you ever felt that God has called you to a certain ministry that you were ill-equipped and unqualified to serve Him in?  Perhaps you have felt that someone else might be better suited for that particular task of ministry.   Maybe you don’t have the skills or abilities to do the job at hand, or…

Anxious was the word that described me the day I heard the news that we had to move again.  The day when the Bank told us we needed to move out of our house that was foreclosed upon. First, let me take you back to the day of July 11, 2011, when our home was…

I read this passage today from “My Utmost for His Highest” by Oswald Chambers and I wanted to share it with you.  I hope it encourages you today. “Jesus does not ask me to die for Him, but to lay down my life for Him.  Peter said to the Lord, “I will lay down my…

Chronic ill health.  Broken Relationships.  Persecutions.  Lawsuit.  IRS Audit.  Foreclosured home.  Poor Credit.   Despair.  Inward denial of Christ.

Night after night I would find myself up until 2 or 3 in the morning as I would pour over this site either designing it or learning the ropes in order to utilize it.  My eyes would burn from staring at this screen for so many hours.  I would become frustrated and I would wake…

Today I was in the process of grabbing food from my refrigerator so I could make lunch for my family.  Sounds like an ordinary afternoon, right?  However, my refrigerator is not in my house but in my friends’ garage.  I quickly became distracted by all the stuff that was surrounding me and unfortunately, I immediately…

Out of the ashes of my life came God’s beauty.  Grab my hand as I take you to the Cross to show you the great and mighty things that the Lord has done.   “Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know not.”  Jeremiah 33:3…
