Salvation is the greatest fortune given to us. It represents the most touching act of God’s love and solicitude for wretched humanity. Without pointing fingers at anyone, more than half the world has rejected this fortune. Some will nod their heads in quick rebuttal to say, “I accept it,” but their lives may just be...

Surrender is not a favorite topic. No one likes to give in to someone or something else.

Service sells. No! Let me correct that, good service sells. Who knows, perhaps service is the #1 selling pitch for companies. Anyway, I’m not here on a marketing agenda. I’m not here to talk about the service you are paying for, nor am I here to talk about the service you are paid to give.... Continue Reading →
Where does the sun go when she sets? She gently pulls the curtain Softly turns out the light And whispers a sublime, “Goodnight” Where does she go when she recedes?

I’m sure that you like your “me time” when life centers around no one else but you, and that’s fair. In a 24 hour day, after we are busy satisfying everybody else, we need a little self-satisfaction too…even for a few minutes. I’m definitely in favor of a little me time. Whatever you choose to...

What are you giving up? There comes a time when we have to give up in order to receive. Sacrifice is one underlying principle that governs success, as in the case of the current Olympics.

It seems impossible to wait on God for years, while life's waves knock you about. It seems impossible to have real calm while waiting upon God to answer a single prayer.

When it comes to waiting, we find the greatest or the least motivation in these: WHO we are waiting on and WHAT we are waiting for. Wait on someone who is unreliable, hardly keeps his word and always has an excuse; you would be foolish to keep waiting. However, wait on God who is sure... Continue Reading →
Let your mind wander to a huge, white and well-lit room, where everyone is waiting; can you see it? Some are sitting on the chairs provided. Some are standing by the window. Of course, many people are on their electronics, engrossed in their own activities. Some are pacing the floors. Some keep watching the clock.... Continue Reading →
I often think about Abraham. God told him that his descendants would be as many as the stars of the sky, and then had him wait 25 years before Isaac was born.
