As pastors and ministers, we must be so careful not to teach something that is unscriptural. That's why James said, "Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment." Teaching that tithing is done away with because we are no longer bound by the law, [...]

Faith = Peace, not Pressure
Faith doesn't ever put pressure on people to meet your needs. That uninvites God from the equation. True faith has a confident expectation that when we prayed we believe right then that we received and God is working on it. God will definitely use people because all that you have need of is here in [...]
Get FULL! (I’m not talking ’bout turkey dinner)
Whatever you may be facing today, face it FULL. Luke 4:1 says "And Jesus FULL of the Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led about by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days being tempted of the devil." We, too, are going to have to be so full of the Word & Spirit [...]
Don’t Change What You Believe!
When the circumstances of life come your way (and they come to all of us) don't give in to the temptation to change what you believe! If you believed that Jesus was your Healer last week, keep believing it this week when faced with the symptoms or a negative medical report. If you believed last [...]
Effective Prayer
"Let us, therefore, draw near with confidence (BOLDNESS) to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and may find grace to help in the time of need." (Hebrews 4:16) When we KNOW that the answer we seek is YES and that we WILL obtain, it sure increases the BOLDNESS with which we approach [...]
Keep Going!
If you're going through something today, KEEP GOING! Don't linger there longer than you need to. God has empowered us to PASS THROUGH! Don't be duped by the enemy into believing that "God is in control"! He's not! He defeated the enemy and gave US the authority to do something about those things which try [...]
Develop Your Spirit
When needing to make a decision in life don't rely on your list of pros & cons to lead you. Your natural reasoning, might sound good, but it could be wrong. Instead, look inward, to your spirit-man and learn the leading of the Holy Spirit within you. He has inside information and can always be [...]
Should We Diet?
Dr. Lillian B. Yeomans, when asked if she believed in dieting said, "I believe in a diet of giants. Just devour and eat up every difficulty that comes your way. You will wax stronger and stronger! A diet of giants will keep you fresh and youthful. Assimilate one giant difficulty after another. That diet steadily [...]
Saved to Serve
Make up your mind to head out to church tomorrow! You may think there's nothing there for you, but perhaps YOU are just who THEY are needing. You might have that word of encouragement that could propel someone else to the next level! It's not there just to bless us, but it's what WE bring to [...]
Surround Others With Faith & Love
God did not call us to figure people out or change them. He only called us to WALK IN LOVE toward them. Faith works by LOVE! It's not worth it to compromise your faith walk and prayer life by stepping out of love. When our children were young, their biggest pet peeve with one another [...]
