Have you ever thought about a Father’s love? This could be your earthly father, or the love you as a father have for your child. It could be God’s love for us. Regardless, it is important to recognize the love the Father has for us. Last week, I wrote a blog on the importance of honoring your father. I referenced Luke 15:11-32 that talks about this Father’s love. Today, I would like to point out a couple of things from this well-known story. This father’s […]

There is one thing for certain, you have a mother and you have a father. Even if you have not had the best upbringing or maybe your father wasn’t around much, I pray someone stepped up and became your father-figure. With Father’s Day this weekend, it is a good time to remember why we should honor our fathers. Deutoronomy 5:16 NIV  reads, “Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well […]

What lessons could be waiting for you […]

And music paired with prayer and scripture is down right powerful!  Thank you for sharing. Be sure to share again this week either in the comments below or on Facebook.

Due to an unexpected backache a few weeks ago, I was forced to take a good, long look at myself. Thus began this journey of becoming stronger, not just physically but spiritually. Last week, I reflected on my mother, and how she “never forgot what her eyes had seen.” Looking at her life, I discovered two critical pieces to my spiritual strength; scripture and prayer. She knew her scripture and when things got tough, she never forgot the Word that she planted in her heart. […]
