As ministers, we can so easily shift into frustration and despair when church attendance is not growing, we’ve made a mistake in implementing a “program," lost a valuable staff member or volunteer family, or shame ourselves for our human failures. The pain comes because we are not ALLOWING and PROCESSING THROUGH all the EMOTIONS that [...]

Why Tithing is NOT the Same as Giving
There is a difference between TITHING and GIVING. The tithe is what we PAY back to God. It belongs to Him. It is His and it is HOLY. An offering is a gift that we GIVE above and beyond our tithes. It's a SEED that we SOW and just like a farmer, we can believe [...]

The Holy Spirit Leads By PEACE
When a thought brings FEAR, DESPAIR, or PRESSURE, it is NOT from the Lord! Isaiah 55:12 "For you will go out with JOY, and be LED FORTH WITH PEACE". Be assured that the Holy Spirit will always lead you with PEACE. He is a perfect gentleman and He promised to LEAD us, not PROD, or [...]

Why You Will Be Mistreated in Marriage
***Disclaimer: By “mistreated” I am not speaking about abuse*** Being hurt by our spouse or hurting our spouse is the last thing we ever think of when we are planning our wedding, right? Instead, we have dreams of how wonderful life will be once we are finally married. But you will be mistreated by your [...]
You Are NOT What You FEEL
We know that when Jesus walked the earth, He was fully God and fully man. He understands completely every feeling that we have. He lived in a human body with all the physical limitations and the emotional expressions that we experience daily. Hebrews 4:15 "For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable [...]
Ever Feel Stuck in SADNESS? Me, too, and I CAN HELP!
Years ago I went through a very challenging time. For months and months, my predominant thought was I’M SO SAD. And you know what that created on the inside of me? Yep, SADNESS! Is it okay to feel sad? Sure. It is a healthy emotion when we’ve gone through something really difficult or things didn’t [...]
Do You Believe in Miracles?
God's not going to do YOUR miracle apart from YOU! In John 2:5 at the wedding feast of Cana, Mary said to the men, "Whatever He says to you, DO IT." If it is a miracle FOR man, it will require some participation FROM man. God calls it the "working of miracles", not the appearing [...]
FACT vs TRUTH
I'm not sure what you may be facing this week. You may have symptoms screaming so loudly in your body that you can't concentrate on anything. Or you may have had a fight with your spouse or child and now feel so grieved in your heart. You may feel worried about coming up short at [...]
