“… Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.” Hebrews 12:1 Help Me Run The Race Before I was in full-time ministry, I worked at Christian Horizons. I assisted men and women who had developmental disabilities and taught them how to cook, clean, and manage their money. It was my favorite secular job, I was so blessed to get paid for something I loved to do. Many people I assisted had Down’s Syndrome; they were incredible, loving individuals and I learned…

Then Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him, preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no one forbidding him. (Acts 28:30-31, NKJV) I have heard some say that the…

O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? I Corinthians 15:55. Praying about this article, I felt impressed to share the following poem that I wrote recently: Comfort and Hope Weep not as those who have no hope of life beyond the grave.

“Build for me an altar made of earth, and offer your sacrifices to me—your burnt offerings and peace offerings, your sheep and goats, and your cattle. Build my altar wherever I cause my name to be remembered, and I will come to you and bless you.” Exodus 20:24 When I was in bible college, I heard a message preached titled “Your God File” I remember thinking, in all my wisdom as an eighteen year old, “this message isn’t for me, I don’t even really understand it.” Little did I know that my life would change that service. It was one…
“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” 1 Peter 5:6-8 KJV If there were ever a time to be daily standing at the ready, it is now. It has become very apparent that the forces of evil are becoming bolder in their attempt to thwart the plans of God. No one and nothing is off limits, the enemy is…
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19. We often quote this scripture, or hear it quoted in the context of trusting the Lord to meet all our physical, financial, and other needs.

I believe this Scripture applies to the spiritual needs that we have even more…
