Where is God? – June 3, 2017 – That is the million dollar question for non believers, new believers, and sometimes, old believers. For these, God is at the end of there physical senses. It’s hard for these folks, to believe and understand that God is seven blocks ahead of them, fixing a pothole in their path, and a block behind them cleaning up their mess, and maybe walking right next to them all at the same time. I saw God on Thursday. He looked like an average 50 something, slightly overweight man that has not taken perfect care of Read More

Loving Eye
Loving Eye – January 20th, – When God is present in our lives, His Holy Spirit guides & directs our activities, actions, & opportunities. He has His “loving eye on us” always.

God is our GPS
God is our GPS – Jan 24, 2017 – We can run, but we can’t hide from God. He sees us exactly where we are, in whatever situation we’re in, and He knows where we’re going. God can see around corners and infinite # steps ahead. But He also knows how He wants us to get there, and what He wants us to do. Loving as He is, He gives us those choices, until we ask Him for help. Once we ask for His help, He will plot our course like the best GPS, around all the dangers of life. Read More
Five Senses
Five Senses – May 5, 2017 – When is a good time to talk to God? All the time! Not just when things go wrong. God has given us everything that our 5 senses can sense, plus our memory and our ability to talk with Him. He hears us! Why did I include our memory, because He gives us that specifically to carry out His plan of “Love one another as we love ourselves (Matthew 22:39).” This is the essence of forgiveness. We know we have forgiven those who wronged us when a memory comes up and doesn’t incite an Read More
Loneliness
Loneliness – May 4, 2017 – Ever feel alone and wish someone would just touch you or say hi? How many people live in our society, in our neighborhood that might feel this way. Being alone in space, that’s about as alone as anyone can be on the outside. What about those who are alone on the inside? Those who are alone in a room full of people, or worse, in a room full of loved ones. I’ve been that guy. Jacob was alone for a time because he deceived his brother who in turn wanted to kill him. Finding Read More
Modern Leprosy
Modern Leprosy – April 29, 2017 – I can relate to the leper in this story and the man on the train. As a child I had eczema. If I’d been alive in Jesus’s day, they would have called me a leper and banished me. I’ve only met 1 person who had it as bad as me. Some pushed me away, while most I kept my distance from. By God’s grace, my kids didn’t get it. Once I really started getting to know God, He has touched me and healed me of 99% of my eczema. Most of the people Read More
Invitation to Happiness
Invitation to Happiness April 5, 2017 God’s Word is the greatest invitation to happiness that we can ever experience. He tells Isaiah in chapter 55 “Come, buy wine and milk (nourishment) without money (v1); Listen that you may hear (v3); and Call upon Him while He is near (v6).” Jesus tells us through Matthew in 7:1 “Ask,and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened.” All of these take faith that “My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways. For as the heavens are higher than the Read More
