Christmas doesn’t look the same this year. There are no seasonal venues to attend this year.

Instead, we find ourselves plagued by fear, restricted by our government, and isolated from friends and family …
Two years ago fourteen-year-old Karthik Nemmani won the Scripps National Spelling Bee. This caught my attention as I breezed through the news that day as it reminded me of an incident that occurred during my own childhood. Our junior high classes at the public school that I attended gathered one day to have a spelling …
When it comes to the subject of rest, believers in Jesus Christ should be having a phenomenal experience every night, unless you have a newborn, in which case you have a glorious reason to be awakened several times by little baby sounds and hunger cries. And, there is also that sacrifice of slumber due to …
I rolled out of bed this morning still feeling heavy from last nights dinner. Smash-burgers, topped with jalapeño pimento cheese and served with a side of potato wedges fried in beef fat will do that to you. I hit the shower at 5:30am and was sipping a cup of Sumatra before the day dawned and …

(This happened after Jeconiah the king, …
Resurrection Sunday 2020 Text: Revelation 1:9-20 I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. John has been exiled, displaced, because of following Jesus Christ. Patmos was …
This week will be different for many. For many, normal work hours have been suspended and our authorities are telling us to stay home. Home is supposed to be a secure, comfortable, and joyful sanctuary. It’s every family’s headquarters of ministry to others which includes, usually, having other folks over. Our houses are our home …
