Recently, I read an article about Pastor Greg Laurie and Harvest Ministries. It talked about an event that they were hosting and the difficulties the ministry incurred leading up to the event. The main issue discussed was in their advertising. The ministry used a marketing firm to advertise their event on bill boards in California....

Did you hear it? You know what I mean; that soft, gentle whisper that is so soft that you are not sure if you heard it or just imagined it. That whisper that encourages you to go and talk to a nearby stranger, the person… that is sad…that is hurting…that needs comfort…that needs a word...

As a child, “that’s not fair!” was my theme song. My sister and I used to fight, terribly. She used her words, I used my hands; I always got in trouble, she never did. Well, she may have, but I was too busy seeing red to see anything else. Justice, by definition, is “the administering...

It is late August, the nights are getting shorter and the fun of summer is winding down. As you sit in your favorite chair reflecting on the the past few short months of summer fun, you can hear the thunder rolling in the background. With each minute, the sounds come closer. You begin to hear...

When a reporter asked him, “How much money is enough?”...

Forgive my lack of an “intro”, but I’m just going to dive right into this. We have a habit of hiding our brokenness; covering up the areas we are lacking. I get it, I’ve done it, and honestly, I still do it sometimes. Here’s the thing – not once has it ever benefited me, my...

1 Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” Bitmojis…I’m fairly new to them....

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 I love summer break from school. Not because of the fun things to do and neat places to go, but it’s the most time I get to spend with my children. There...
