Years ago, I listened to a teaching by Pastor Dave Roberson from Tulsa, Ok. This teaching greatly impacted my life - from that day to now. It was called, Peace, The Aggression Weapon of God. When I first began to study this subject, I wasn't clear on how peace could...

It’s that time of year… when we begin planting seeds to get a jump start on gardening. As I was thinking about this today, I remembered something that happened a couple years ago, when Bre and I planted our seeds. I had purchased some herb seed to plant, some for...

It’s something we don’t talk about very often. Many don’t even consistently partake of rest. I see this with those who are in business, ministry or parents, or dealing with sickness or a sick loved one. We seem to run all the time, without thinking about how much our body...

We were driving through town the other day when up ahead we saw blue lights. “Uh oh.” Breanne said. I thought, “it must be an accident.” However, as it came closer, I realized what it was. “Pull over!” I said. “It’s a funeral.” I don’t know if you do this...

Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. (2 Tim 4:2) I thought of this scripture last week when I received an early morning call from my aunt, the call actually woke me up. She informed me that she...

It happens to all of us. Out of nowhere, an unexpected challenge comes our way. Our first response in situations like this is vital. I had such an event early Saturday morning. I know better than to speak words that line up with what the enemy is attempting to do...

And he shall speak great words against the most High and shall wear out the saints of the most High. (Dan 7:25) I have thought of this Scripture many times over the past few months, as I see the weariness on the faces of those who have been standing in faith,...
