"God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit in power, and he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil because God was with him!" (Acts 10:38) Just thinking tonight that since Jesus was anointed, led and empowered by the Holy Spirit, how much more do I…Read more Reaching My Potential
The Rapture Gives Me A Confident Love!
Whenever, I invite someone to join our team, it's pure joy to share our vision, our team members, and to paint the picture of the future. Jesus, wow, did he ever do it differently! Some of you will die, be persecuted, hated and despised. If they have hated me they will hate you. Come on…Read more The Rapture Gives Me A Confident Love!
The Rapture Gives Me Hope
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me! It's a vital part of my morning and evening prayers. When I journal and examine my life, I realize how far short of the glory of God I fall.

The Rapture

STRAITJACKETS
Father Brown is the creation of G. K. Chesterton, a kind, but quirky and a well-meaning priest with a detective's heart. Recently, I discovered there is a BBC television series about Father Brown.

Monday Meditations

Life with them is joyous, with its seasons of celebrations of birth, new birth, baptisms, holidays (Holy Days) like Christmas, Easter, Pentecost. It's also sobering with its seasons of fasting at Lent and the funerals where we worship our LORD and offer…Read more Monday Meditations
God’s Unlimited Love
“He will tell you how you and everyone in your household can be saved!’” (Acts 11:14, NLT) For the apostles and the early church it was an amazing shock that God's Unlimited Love extended beyond the cultural boundaries of the Jewish Church. “The Jewish believers who came with Peter were amazed that the gift of the…Read more God’s Unlimited Love
Creative Video for Sharing the Gospel
Since the first time I really mediated upon Exodus 31:2-5 I've been fascinated by creativity and craftsmanship. Reading and reflecting upon these gifts have cause me to conclude in some measure we all have a creative spark within us. It is the genius that children possess in abundance. Their imaginations go to work and soon…Read more Creative Video for Sharing the Gospel
