God’s Will – The “Open Door” Theory

Open Doors Let’s face it, in this day and age, Christians, all sorts of them, are concerned with what the will of God is for their life.  I heard it said many times that the number one question people ask there pastor is “What is the will of God in my life.”  Many teachings, sermons [...]

Grace and Mercy

Grace and Mercy 4But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. -Ephesians 2: 4 – 5 We all hear that we need grace and mercy but do we ever actually [...]

Hope for the Future

Hope for the Future We experience all kinds of hope: hope for the future, hope during uncertainty, etc.  But as a Christian, our hope should never flee.  “You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.” (Romans 5:6).  Christ’s followers placed their hope in him while he [...]

A Real Relationship With God

A Real Relationship With God What does it mean to be in a relationship with God?  I’m not questioning if you are in a relationship with God, but we shouldn’t be so quick to placement judgment on others as if they are not in a relationship with God for some reason such as lack of [...]

Prayer Ramblings

Prayer Ramblings Last night as I was praying, I realized how often I was repeating the same points.  I was quickly convicted because I realized that the repetition was an underlying lack of faith.  Using this example, if you can imagine faith within a glass, then my faith only filled up less than the rim.  [...]

God is My Inheritance

God is My Inheritance It is easy to loose focus in this season that I’m going through – 2 months left till I graduate from business school with an MBA, school loans so insanely high that it would be a shame to even mention the debt, have not received a full-time job offer yet, no [...]

Thirsty For Something Specific?

Thirsty for the Lord “As a deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, O God.” Psalm 42:1 How is your life going?  Did you obtain all your dreams and still feel something is missing?  Did you search out all the pleasures of this world and still feel an emptiness?  This [...]
