Firstly, every morning as I wake up and pray before rolling out of bed, my schedule, my calendar, my to-do list are all given over to God and I ask Him to help me get done what He considers a priority. Secondly, I give Him permission to remove things from my calendar and add new…

So you woke up this morning with a thought on your mind. Will it be your target or goal for today? Will you adjust your day in order to keep your eyes on the target? Could you stay focused on it for the day in order to get it done? Did you realize that if…

Whose are you? It really matters!
It was interesting this morning as I woke up and the lyrics kept playing in my head “the devil wants you but Jesus says you are mine” and it kept repeating Jesus says “you are mine”. Whose are you? It matters today and for your final destination. It matters when you are faced with a…

The gift of God’s presence
Ever been challenged? Ever considered or asked why? We need to turn back to God and lean into Him because His ways are higher than our ways and better than our ways. So lean on God rather than your own understanding, acknowledging Him so that He can show you the path to take. You may…

Serving together – How to grow closer together.
I remember how when my wife and I were saved God put jetpacks on our backs to help us get up to speed and positioned to serve.

Check in your spirit about something, obedient response is key!
Your sitting then and you feel the Holy Spirit warning you of risks. You ponder the risks and potential implications and impact. How will you respond? What if it was your car and the warning lights lit up like a Christmas tree? Would you ponder the risks and potential implications and impact? How would you…

Water. What comes to mind when you think about it?
Is it something silly like, is water wet? Is it a vision of a tropical destination with a beach or a pool? Is it stories of miracles (Moses and the parting of the Red Sea, Joshua and the parting of the Jordan, Noah and the great flood, Jonah and the whale, Jesus walking on water,…

Are you a tree? It’s International Day of Forests (Mar 21st)
You may be thinking what kind of a question is “are you a tree?”. You would correct it is a crazy question since anyone you ask who can answer will say no. To a group a people, it became a hilarious question and answer session, but that is what happens when you push the limits…

Happy Today! Choose it daily!
This morning as I was going thru my newsfeed I noticed an interesting fact, that today is International Day Of Happiness 2023. It made me wonder why would it only be one day and how could creating the day make it happier than any other day. We know that everyday is the day that the…

P.R. News from Paul to the Philippians
Went to a great vision banquet last night where Pastor Jenkins got to share the Word. The points all followed the pattern of P.R. as he spoke from Philippians 4 in the section that speaks to the Philippian Church’s generosity. He shared first from Philippians 4:19 and then showed us how we have to go…

Starting with you, use love to change the world!
There is always looking out and pointing the finger at what’s out there and blaming. We need to decide today that we will start with us and use love to change this world. Pointing fingers doesn’t help because it points to the issues within. When you point, you need to realize that more fingers are…

Spending time with God by living on prayer!
As I prep for today and realize it is half-way through the week a song came to mind from my childhood. It’s always interesting to me when this happens because I wouldn’t have considered them Christian or worship songs but as with many of the songs, when you realize songs are to be used to…

Challenged yesterday by making the most of today!
When your body wakes you up with a sore stomach and you have a cold sweat it changes your plans. Yesterday challenged the plans between missing work and missing going out with the family to a hockey.

Not about stuff, it’s a matter of the heart!
When you think about generosity, it’s not a matter of quantity it’s a matter of the heart! When you think about generosity, it’s not a matter of the stuff, it’s a matter of the heart! So God desires a hilariously cheerful giver! Be it the poor widow who gave her best that was observed and…
