Get away from me, you old self!
Do you notice the subtle changes in yourself since you made Jesus the Lord and Master over your life? Do you get intolerant with yourself when you find that you are struggling like Apostle Paul did when he confessed in Romans 7:15 ? For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I

Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate
What treasures are you collecting? We know the tangible baubles will soon vanish. There are lots of pithy phrases out there to illustrate this idea. Phrases like, “Home is where the heart it”, “You are what you love”, “Chasing after…”, etc., What should we as Christians treasure? In Matthew 6:19-21, Jesus instructs us on not

Morning coffee with Jesus
What was the first task you accomplished this morning? Did you roll out of bed and start working, taking care of chores, getting ready for the day? Or did you spend time with the one who loves you more than anybody else in the world? This morning I woke up tired from a busy weekend.

The glory of the Lord
I know every Christian has challenging days, like I had this morning. Chaotic thought process, hyper focus on inconsequential matters.

Where is Waldo?
Most of us know of the children’s book, “Where’s Waldo?”. There is a picture and setup at the beginning of book which makes it easy to spot Waldo in the pictures that follow. You know what you are looking for when you try to spot Waldo. Earlier this week, I saw Jeff walking back from

Are you teachable?
Are you open to learning from all sources? Do you have the humility to absorb information presented to you that is biblically accurate but from a source that is questionable? We are wired to be cautious through generalization but God does not conform to human standards, His ways are higher that ours (Isaiah 55: 8-9)

Out of the mouths of kids
Ever wondered why Jesus loves children? Why do we love children for that matter? Are we channeling Jesus or is there something special about kids? I am sure these sound like silly questions if you are thinking, “Of course we love children, they are cute and lovable”. This blog here does not answer why Jesus

Words, bless or curse?
How do you respond to negative stimulus? Do you let your situation change who you are channeling? James calls the tongue the rudder of the ship in James 3:4-5. How is your tongue steering you? Moment of honesty, I suffer from “spewage of harsh words” when I feel like I am under attack, stressed, not
