Thought For Today: “Church Attendance is a Blessing” With the advent of the COVID pandemic, a shift took place in our gathering together as a family of believers.

Thought For Today: “Worship Warriors” Before David was a warrior, he was a worshiper.

Thought For Today: “Bible Educated” I recently read the following description of America’s public education system that 70% of our children do not receive the education required to prosper in the 21st Century. Also, another survey in 2022 said that America ranked 14th in the world. And while many factors have contributed to America’s decline in education, … Read more

Thought For Today: “The Bible: Like No Other” There are those who doubt what the Bible says because of perceived discrepancies.

Thought For Today: “The Wounds of God’s Love” All of us carry wounds from our past. Not just the wounds of betrayal and abuse, but the wounds of love. Wounds that we want to forget, but wounds that are needed. These are wounds that God allows and even inflicts to remind us about His love … Read more

Thought For Today: “God Gave It All” God gave the gift of His Son, Jesus, for sinners. “So if God gave them the same gift he gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could stand in God’s way?” (Acts 11:17) God gave the gift of His … Read more

Thought For Today: “The Power of God’s Word” “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12) How powerful is God’s … Read more

Thought For Today: “No Greater Work” When Jehoshaphat took over as king of Judah, he strengthened himself against the advances of ungodly Israel by reinforcing the cities and building garrisons throughout the land. He also walked in the former ways of King David, his heart took delight in the ways of the Lord, and he … Read more

Thought For Today: “Power to Get Unstuck” The problem with many Christians is that they are stuck between the cross and Pentecost. What do I mean by that?

Thought For Today: “Where Contentment Resides” Our search for contentment will only come up empty when we look for it in people, places, or things.

Thought For Today: “Facing Fear By Faith” Besides procrastination, our fears hold us back from getting a fresh start. Fear has the ability to paralyze our potential, keeps us from launching out, and keeps us from having the type of faith to move forward into God’s will. “The fear of man brings a snare, but … Read more

Thought For Today: “Let’s Recalibrate” The Apostle Paul teaches us that it isn’t about all the stuff we think we need, rather it’s about finding what we need in the Lord. “Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content … I can do … Read more

Thought For Today: “God’s Purpose Doesn’t Change” In Malachi 3:6, the Lord said to Israel, “For I am the LORD, I do not change; therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.” But later in chapter four we read of God’s judgement, but in His judgment, He is leaving a door of hope. “For … Read more

Weekend’s Thought: “Tapped by God” The richest spot on earth is neither South Africa’s diamond mines, the oil fields of Saudi Arabia, nor Silicon Valley and it’s microchips. The richest land is found in the local cemeteries because that’s where there are so many unfulfilled promises and untapped dreams. If we could harness all the … Read more

Thought for Today: “Restored and Repurposed” “Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” (Psalm 90:12) Asking God to help us number our days is not a game; rather it’s a sure bet.” Therefore, we need to ask the Lord for the wisdom to restore and repurpose our … Read more

Thought For Today: “What’s In Your Hand?” Sometimes we’re so busy we have no time for God.
