Heart-Pounding Adventure? The Bible has it. Wanton Seduction? It’s there too. Betrayal that cuts like a knife? Look no further. The word “drama” doesn’t even begin to describe the essence of God’s creation. The Bible itself showcases both the heart-wrenching despair and bountiful joy of God’s people. The stories contained within are amazing; creating a sense of wonder in their reader. In the Book of Daniel, we encounter three young servants of the Lord; Shadrach, Meshach and

We read our Bibles daily, right?  Or at the least, we should frequently.  Upon reading, do we absorb Christ’s messages, or are we merely mindlessly reading…our thoughts elsewhere?    The truth is that The Bible is meant to be studied and reflected upon.  This total scriptural immersion helps one pursue the godly thought and action presented.  Jesus instructed his followers through the use of parables (lessons in a story format).  His Apostles were often confused by the meanin

Children are often warned of the dangers of fire. They are told it will hurt them. It will create a burn. Wanting to avoid physical pain, a child turns away in apprehension from an open flame. Our Heavenly Father continually watches over our spiritual health. In the Bible, we are warned of the consequences of our sinful attitudes and behaviors. Some hear this warning, and scoff at it. Others, try to heed it, but inevitably fall into sin at some point. Sin hurts us as well as

Time for a confession…please don’t judge. I am an old-school romantic at heart. My heart’s desire is tempted by the guilty pleasure known as the Instagram “Scroll”. Reels which suggest insight into love and romance enthrall me. Pathetic, I know. However, being single and desiring with all my heart to be married qualifies me easily for romantic reel addiction. Over and over again, I am entranced by the idea of a lost love regained. Those reels highlighting unrequited love fin

God is always in communication with his Children. This interaction can take the form of an active response to prayer. Other times this interchange may involve a call to wonder at the beauty of a vibrant sunrise. He also is with us granting discernment regarding biblical passages. In addition, God often uses the unremarkable circumstances of our life to manifest the divine.   Our Father knows exactly what we need, regardless of whether we are yet aware of it ourselves. One day

1 Corinthians 1:27 KJV But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; Secular foolishness, or that of a worldly nature, is defined by a lack of judgement or engaging in something lacking sense. In other words, it goes against God’s Law and his Natural Plan. The wiles of satan are thus marked by his ungodly foolishness, which leads to destruction. Biblical fooli

A well-made mask clings to the user’s face, thus obscuring his identity completely. So is it with some not wishing us well. Their intentions are carefully hidden. These masks are worn well. Years can pass by with another’s motives well-hidden.  God bestows upon Christians the gift of discernment. It is vital that we wield it to distinguish whether evil or good intentions are meant for us.   The Pharisees were well-versed in the deception of mask making. They presented themsel

“Be Still.” I struggle with these words from Our Lord. Do You? In our culture, activity/achievement is greatly praised. We label ourselves productive as we check off our “To Do” lists. Food Shopping…done. Pick up dry cleaning…done… and so on… Our days are consumed by “must dos”. The word consumed implies an overwhelming activity and that is exactly what being a slave to our “to dos” does – it consumes us, leaving us emotionally drained. It also keeps us focused on the earthly
