Are you “wobbling” in your walk with Christ?
“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:23 (ESV) You would think a 300-pound boulder would provide the stability you need when you find yourself slipping. Unfortunately, a fellow hiker at
Jesus has raised you! What will you do?
In the healing of a man with leprosy, we see the touch of Jesus and new life promised to us through the Spirit’s resurrection power. The apostle Paul prayed the following prayer for new believers in Asia Minor: Let them
Jesus Learned To manage Distractions, Have YOU?
People often wonder “why didn’t God help me?” “why didn’t God answer me?” “Where was God when I needed him?” Often the answer to these questions is that we allowed ourselves to become distracted. Some may say, No not me…”I
Jesus Knew How To Get Prayers Answered, Do You?
“God is sovereign,” is a phrase I hear often these days. It’s thrown around as if to say, God does whatever He does, and it’s none of our business. While it is true that God is Sovereign, it is also
As The New Year Approaches Make The Winning Shot!

Which way will “You” Run?
Will I run in faith to follow the Jesus of the empty tomb even if it means I have to follow him to a cross of my own? Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set
A Pow in the “Gut”!
I stood at the three-point line on the basketball court. Our team was playing defense under the other team’s goal. One of their players shot the ball, but it didn’t go in. Instantly I started running. As point guard, I
Jesus remained true to His identity, and so should YOU!
A King headed to a cross, the foal of a donkey, and a formerly blind man who followed along the way. Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who
Maybe YOU need Jesus more!
Jesus’ death on the cross was essential for us all. Those in rebellion to God desperately need grace; so do the religious! None of us measures up to the righteousness of God, and none of us fully practices the compassion
Running Against The Odds?
I am not an advocate of gambling associated with professional horse racing, but I have always been intrigued by the sport. It is referred to as “the fastest two minutes in sports.” Every year, horse breeders from the United Sates
