Answers from God are not hidden; they are not so complex or difficult that they cannot be understood. Difficulty in life originates from our desire to control, to expect everything to be the way we want it to be. As I pray to God, I ask Him to show me the way He wants things to be. If I am honest and sincere and want Him to work things out, He will do it. It’s just that simple. With God all of the answers are already there before I ask His intervention. He knows my heart, the troubles I’m in, [Read More…]
Growing up without a father, I know the true importance of having someone to look up to, to be a mentor, to be there through the troubling times in life. Living life alone can be a harrowing experience. The innocent souls left to themselves will be prone to experiment and to wander, their tender heart open to the excitement and devices of an evil world. There is no temptation so harmless or question so trivial that the inquisitive mind will not seek to unravel. Giving in or falling from grace is not a pattern we should strive to follow; [Read More…]
There is no statement more foolish or potentially harmful than the statement, “What you don’t know can’t hurt you.” Its deception is the unwanted prize of the ignorant; and its folly, the pattern of a fool.

We, as God’s children, have been given only one option, TRUST HIM OR DIE. That is not a threat but a promise that is given for our well-being, our [Read More…]
You cannot hide behind a banner of sheer pretense; the insincerity of your actions will cause you to stumble. The absence of your passion will speak louder than the empty words you have spoken. Telling a lie is more dangerous to its perpetrator than it is to its audience. While only misleading the innocent, it damns the soul of the deliverer. Sin, no matter how insignificant or small, will tarnish the pure while placing blame on the guilty. The purest heart is not without oppression; it is the constant foe of the enemy. Evil, to this world, is no stranger; [Read More…]
