Sharing the gospel with others might be an intimidating task, but it is a task that God has commanded of us. It can be intimidating to share the gospel with others, so I would like to share what God has placed on my heart in regards to sharing HIS good news. There are many reasons why we, as believers, may not share the gospel, and the Bible has something to say to each of us about them. One of the biggest reasons why we, as believers, do not always share the gospel is for fear of rejection. No one wants […]

When most people hear the word meditation, they immediately think of hippy yoga classes, filled with incense and people mumbling “ohm” while contorting their bodies in search of peacefulness. Or perhaps they think of Buddhist monks sitting for hours attempting to reach a higher spiritual plane, or deepen their religious understanding. While not entirely correct, practices like these are not entirely wrong either; and they should, in fact, be a part of today’s Christian lives. It is summer, our busiest time of the year.

Genesis 1:1-2 & 27 1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.” 27 “So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.” You were created for a purpose.

But then again, it's not like I've had anything that I've just been dying to write about…. Until now. You see, I think we've got to address the republican ELEPHANT in the room; that's right, I'm referring to the man of the hour, Donald Trump. Lately it seems as if Mr. Trump has ruffled quite a few feathers. These feather-ruffled Trump haters have risen up and voiced their concerns. This, of […]

Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world….. Red and yellow, black and white, all are precious in His sight…… Jesus loves the little children of the world. I remember singing this song in Vacation Bible School as a young child. In a world that had come so far, but yet had so much further to go, we sang about the equality of all mankind – the "Imago Dei" of the Bible. That is, even as children, we understood that we were all created in the image of God. We understood that we were all a part of God's […]
