So many of us want things now that we are willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen. Often that means we take shortcuts. So let me define what a shortcut is: a method or means of doing something more directly and quickly than and often not so thoroughly as by ordinary procedure […]
Hearing God
Yesterday I mentioned the voices that you may hear and how they could be God or Satan. Do you know what God’s voice sounds like? The answer is really simple. When you are doing or are about to do something, what is that little voice telling you? If what you are doing is going to […]
Voices
Almost all of us hear voices of some kind. It could be that little internal voice telling you to run or it could be telling you that what you are doing is wrong or it could be an alarm going off in your head. The problem is that most of us ignore those voices when […]
Stay Focused
We live in a world where it is easy to get distracted. We have work, family, friends, and hobbies. All of these things can take your focus off the Lord. Once you have lost your focus, it will start to wander off to what the flesh wants. This means that God will no longer […]
Dumbest Man
I have to be the dumbest man on the face of the planet. You will see why in a moment. Tonight, we were watching Deadpool because number two came out and my wife had not seen the first one. I wanted to watch the 2nd one, but if you have not seen the first, I […]
Change Takes Time
We live in an era where we expect everything now and have very little patience for when something takes some time. Take websites as an example.

Plan for the Future
When I was growing up, I would see my father sitting in his chair constantly calculating and recalculating. I remember asking him what he was doing and it was two-fold. The first he was determining how much money he could spend on stocks. The second thing was that he was preparing for his retirement. Many […]
Unforgiveness
Is there unforgiveness in your heart? Let’s face it, people these days are not willing to forgive. Part of that is due to how forgiveness is portrayed. We think that if we forgive, then we are to forget what has happened. That is not true, but we are to forgive. So what does forgiveness mean? […]
The Bible
I recently had a conversation with a colleague about the Bible. More specifically about tithing. I told him that I tithe and he was a bit dumbfounded by that. He started telling me all the reasons why tithing was basically not required. The most dominant being that the Bible is written by man. I agreed […]
God My Buddy
So too often these days, we do not fear the Lord nor do we treat Him with respect. We use terms like God is my friend or God is my buddy. Sorry to burst your bubble, but God is neither. God is Lord over all and is therefore above you at all times. God is […]
