Never in vain
Years ago I attended my grandfather’s funeral. Story after story people expressed their gratitude for his loving kindness. As I listened closely, Mark 12:30-31 continued to come to my mind.

When was your last examination?
Before, you begin pondering the question I must inform you that I’m not speaking of an examination that involves a cold medical apparatus. I’m referring to an examination that we are commanded to conduct on ourselves each and every day. A self-examination that unveils the intricacies of one’s... -

How much can you endure?
In the midst of an uncomfortable situation, have you ever cried out, “I can’t take anymore!”? Then once the situation was finally over, the way in which the Lord brought you through suddenly became a distant memory, resulting in you crying out those same exact words when faced with another... -

Are you living everyday with a Psalm 118:24 heart?
Every day is a blessing from the Lord. From the moment He awakes us, we are blessed with another opportunity to glorify His name. Yet, sometimes before our feet even hit the floor the enemy will attack our minds with negative thoughts in an attempt to hinder the Lord's will. Thoughts such as... -

Who do people see when they see you?
It’s easy to proclaim Christianity but have you embraced the depth of what it truly means to walk as Christ walked. Jesus’ walk was righteous, holy and pure. A walk obediently, unspotted from the world. No sin was found in him. He resisted sin to the point of bloodshed and committed his cause... -

How bright is your light?
As Christians we are often times the most sought after people in times of need. We give, give, give, and others take, take, take. The cycle can be relentless. But, as Christians we must obediently not grow weary in well doing. Even when the thought enters your mind that your kindness is being... -

Are you spending enough prayer time before the Lord?
As Christians we are instructed to pray always (Ephesians 6:18). But, sadly many are so busy with the ways of this world that they are missing the blessings that emerge from such obedience. The other evening, I was praying with my daughter. After, I finished in her gentle little voice she... -
