Are you willing to cross the street to make a difference?

Last night I had the blessing to get to help with online church where the story of the Good Samaritan has been the scripture for the series titled Unchartered Territory. It was interesting to learn how when we don't get to the root of a problem and address it how it can amplify and fester …

Words have power. Words have value. Words matter.

Do you hear me? Even though my words are written here do you feel what I am saying is true? Words have the power to build up and to tear down. Words have value and it is up to us how to increase the value by using them properly. We see this through God’s Word …

What song keeps playing in your head this morning?

Let’s be compassionate to the people God puts in our paths today!

Let’s feel love for them. Let’s fell kindness for them. Let’s be responsive to their situation and needs. Let’s be tender hearted towards them.

Hope even in the midst of grief.

Do you have hope no matter what happens? Do you have hope in the midst of having to suffer for a little while? Do you have hope that goes beyond your situation and circumstance? Where does your hope come from? Jesus is my hope, no matter what, because in his great mercy he has given …

The Plan…

With everything that you have gone through in 2020, and a new beginning in September what’s the plan? We understand that we can make a plan and God will guide our steps. We understand we can’t lose hope because this race we are running is tiring us out because if we can’t run when men …

Do you understand?

What to do?

It’s new and gathering information can help frame things. It’s new and the parameters are vague. It’s new and it is up to you to define it. It’s new and it requires that the management chain agree and are aligning or in alignment. How can you do it? How can you scope it? How deep …
