Psalm 37:7a Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him. For the past couple of weeks, I’ve had the blessing of enjoying a nice long vacation which was much needed. My plans were to fly somewhere and take tours of the city while enjoying the gorgeous sunsets during the evening hours. Well, none of these plans came to fruition as I had some unexpected expenses earlier in the year which took top priority. So my vacation became a staycation. I…..

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. Have you ever been hesitant to share your faith due to fear, rejection, or maybe you just didn’t feel like it? Personally, I struggled with all three of these emotions. There have been times where I shared my faith with complete strangers; however, initiating these conversations were…..

James 2:17-18 In the same way faith, if it doesn’t have works, is dead by itself. But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without works, and I will show you faith from my works.

Proverbs 10:9 He who walks with integrity walks securely, but he who perverts his ways will become known.  According to the 1828 Webster’s Dictionary, Integrity is defined as “The entire, unimpaired state of any thing, particularly of the mind; moral soundness or purity; incorruptness; uprightness, and honesty”. As I mentioned before, I lived a life of immorality before my rededication to Christ. I lied, I gossiped, I partied with my friends, I drank, I used filthy language, and I participated in infidelity on…..

Exodus 20:3 “You shall have no other gods before Me”. The 1828 Noah Webster’s Dictionary defines the word idol as “Any thing on which we set our affections; that to which we indulge an excessive and sinful attachment”. When I read this definition, I was convicted. Why? Because skin care products and make-up cosmetics are my weakness. Any product that includes jojoba seed oil, ginseng, lemon balm, vitamin e, shea butter, and/or coconut oil which is designed to produce softer,…..

Matthew 7:15-16a Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. In the Book of Acts (chp. 19), Paul journeyed to Ephesus and ministered to some disciples in the region. He asked them, “Did they receive the Holy Spirit when they believed?” In their response to him, they said, “We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.” Paul continues his…..

MATTHEW 20:28 Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. There is great joy in serving others. My very first real job was at a local convenient store serving ice cream to customers. And the best part about being an ice cream server was actually enjoying the ice cream itself. My job was easy, fun, and I had the opportunity to meet new people…..
