Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The goodness of God endure continually. Psalms 52, verse 1. NKJV Doeg was a bully and man filled with sin who committed evil acts, he provoked David, he is the inspiration for this psalm, but the message is not isolated to a time long, long ago. Sin…
What a profound gift, this breath, this life. May the trials and my aching bones reassure me, this is not my home. Time is short, the flesh will fail, I long to hear six words. Jesus no longer walks upon this dirt, we are His hands and feet. We lift others with Gospel and protect…
There is a healing river prophesied in Ezekiel 47:1-12 and in Psalms 46:4 a similar river is described. There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.

I appreciated the ability to “unwind” and disengage from society through alcohol. Alcohol gave me the ability to overcome feelings of inadequacy. It felt like my superpower, but…
Dear the Holy Spirit, Please consume me, from the first spark to a raging fire devour those parts of me that do not serve God’s Kingdom. Convict me when I lose my way, because I will, and I need YOU. Be my compass leading me home. Let me be the hands and feet of Jesus…
