Our worldview is how we make sense of life. We all have a foundation which will shed light and help us see the world around us. There are many different worldviews but they all do about the “same thing”. God/Jesus has always existed. I believe Scripture makes this abundantly clear. Genesis 1 reminds…

Life has purpose. You have meaning! As we discuss the spiritual battle we all face, the is part of being God’s people, we must be reminded of this truth. Life is valuable. Each person we will ever come into contact with has value and was created in the image of God. We need to have compassion. In a world…

This world can be hard. We know this to be true but sometimes we must state the “obvious”. This world is full of conflict. Some of us, this isn’t me btw, enjoy conflict and can be classified as “fighters”. One of the things I love to do with Sis is act like I am going to “fight” her and then I remark,…

Darkness is very interesting. Interesting in the fact we don’t really like it nor do we understand it. There are many causes for darkness. Psalm 119 and our Scriptures in general let us know there are many reasons why darkness exists and its causes. We will all experience dark times. This is truth. I…

When have you experienced vitality? Interesting word, vitality. I think of other words: vivaciousness, energized, passionate and thriving. Some times all we can do is survive. This is a legitimate goal depending on the season one may find themselves in. In fact, our Psalm has talked over and over, how…

We all have 168 hours a week. Time is the one thing we all have the same amount of. Yes, some will live longer than others. What is your theme in life? Baseball players typically walk up to the plate with a “theme song”. In fact many theme songs outlive their respective uses to become as popular if not…
