“Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be. Mat […]
Just say a simple, ‘Yes, I will,’ or ‘No, I won’t.’ Anything beyond this is from the evil one. Mat 5:37. Your word is your word! You don’t need to use persuasion or swear against something to add weight to what you’re saying. Who you are should be enough. The integrity of your words should […]
Fools are destroyed by their own complacency. But all who listen to me will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm.” Pr1:32b,33. The long term cost of inaction far outweighs the cost of taking immediate action. Parents who “love” their children too much to discipline them when they’re young, will see them struggle to […]
“You have heard the commandment that says, ‘You must not commit adultery.’ But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Mat5:27:28. Jesus came to deal with the issues of the heart. Many of the problems we encounter start long before they manifest […]
And Abram believed the LORD, and the LORD counted him as righteous because of his faith. Gen15:6. When we trust God’s Word we honour Him and please Him. Our faith acknowledges who God is and that God can not lie. There is no issue in life that is bigger than God, and there is no […]

“You are the light of the world-like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out […]
This was the same place where Abram had built the altar, and there he worshiped the LORD again. Gen 13:4. Many times in the Old Testament altars were built to serve as reminders of what the Lord had done. Today, with so many distractions in our life, we should consider building our own altars or […]
Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act. Ps 37:7a. Prayer is two way communication, we need to wait on God for His response. Sometimes the trials we are going through are preparing us for what God has next for our life. How we handle those trials can […]
Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust him, and he will help you. Ps 37:5. How often do you commit your actions to the Lord? Daily, or only on a quick emergency prayer basis when something goes horribly wrong. When we commit our actions to God, our motives must be right or else we […]
