The TRUTH About LYING!
I believe we humans could probably come up with endless excuses for telling lies, but I am compelled by God almighty to tell you THE TRUTH according to God about lying:
* LYING IS SIN AGAINST GOD!
* ALL SIN MUST BE GOTTEN RID OF!
* LYING AND ALL SIN SEPARATES US FROM GOD!
* LIARS WILL SPEND FOREVER IN HELL AND THE LAKE OF FIRE!
* THERE IS GOOD NEWS ABOUT LYING!
How do I know this is THE TRUTH? Because God tells us this in the Bible, and the Bible is God’s TRUTH.
“Sanctify them by Your truth. You...

Don’t Do ANYTHING Without This!
Whatever you do in life, make sure it is the will of God. That goes without saying. We are to live a life of obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ. Yet taking the right actions in the eyes of God, believe it or not, is NOT enough. But when it comes to obedience aren’t we supposed to DO what pleases and honors and glorifies God? Yes, BUT –
But what? But everything we DO should be – WITH THE LOVE OF JESUS!
For years, I did lots of things that were God’s will. But countless times I acted WITHOUT THE L...
When God Gives You Enormous Things to Do
“I don’t know where to begin,” I told the Lord regarding something absolutely enormous He had made clear He wanted me to do.
Maybe some people can handle really enormous things easily. I cannot even handle easy things easily! I can get pretty easily overwhelmed with just about anything! And in my life and ministry, God has given me plenty of what I would call enormous things to do!
Now there I was right back in the position for the umpteenth time of facing something enormous the Lord Jesus Chris...

A Powerful Lesson About Faith
When it comes to faith, I could not encourage you enough to read the Bible daily and to live by it. God tells us in the Bible “…faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17 NKJV).” Our faith journey begins when we turn from our sins, believe Jesus Christ is Lord and in His death and resurrection, and sincerely turn to God and His ways. We are forgiven, promised a forever relationship with the Lord, His Holy Spirit comes to live in us, and we go forward learning to live f...
When You Know What God Told You
I have two absolutely vital words for you. When you know what God told you, DO IT.
Do not pretend you didn’t hear God. Don’t try to justify going against God. Don’t run the other direction. Don’t debate with God, question God, resist God, or rebel against God. Don’t come up with what you think is a better plan. Don’t follow your flesh instead. Don’t fall for the devil’s temptations instead. Don’t follow people’s advice instead when their advice goes against God.
When you know what God told you, ...

A Really Big Confession!
One day I made a really big confession to God. And I am writing this because I wonder if someone or maybe even many people who read this may need to make the same really big confession to God. In your own words of course. Not in mine.
What follows is the confession I made to God. And then I will tell you what God powerfully showed me when I made it.
I am so sorry. I have been basically saying you are not enough. And that your provision is not enough. And that your will is not good enough. A...

Jesus Gave Me Paralyzed Dog Mr. Simeon
I lost my paralyzed ministry dog Mr. Simeon tragically a few years ago after God blessed me with about 9 years with him. He could not move more than inches without my help and/or his wheelchair.
God gave us an indescribably beautiful bond and showed me Mr. Simeon looked to me the way I am to look to God. He trusted me 100% for all he needed. He knew he could not live without me and my help. We are to look to the Lord for absolutely everything starting with His LOVE.
Mr. Simeon was one of the gre...
Is Money Your god?
There is nothing wrong with wanting money, nor with working for money, not with earning money, not with having money, nor with spending money – with the two following conditions in mind.
First, money should not be your god! You should not live for it, be bound by it, be consumed with it, live centered around it, be obsessed with it, and/or use it or think or do anything related to money in a way that displeases and dishonors and is disobedient to God. Money should not rule and reign in your life...

NO Thank You God!
I was thinking about something really enormous God made clear He wants me to do when suddenly it dawned on me I could just say, “NO thank you God!”
I used to live like that you know. I picked and chose when I wanted to obey God. I was like a little lord over my little life.
Praise God He set me straight.
Long ago God used a woman to help me see there is a difference between believing Jesus Christ is Lord and following Jesus Christ as Lord.
Heaven and a forever relationship with God are not for t...

Holding on for Dear Life
From the moment we are born, seems we are holding on for dear life to someone or something or both to get what we need and to get what we want. We hold on for dear life to our mothers, to their breasts for milk, to loving hands, to a big hug, to being cradled in safe arms, to a baby blanket, to a toy, and over time as we grow to more someone’s and more somethings. Ever to satisfy our needs and desires. We are clingers and cleavers by nature. And this can be a really good thing or it can be dange...
