God's word is eternal and it has the power to save us from sin. That being said, even the precious word of God needs a tender heart (good ground) so it can penetrate and take root.

In the parable of the sower, the seeds represent God's word. The ground represents our various heart conditions. Allow the word of Jesus Christ to take root and flourish in your life.

We're back! God blessed us to make it through 2021. We are so happy to be back after our extended vacation.

David starts off with praise and I believe we should do the same thing. Give God praise and honor, walk upright, and holiness.

The Psalmist reminds us that God has rebuked and rejected ungodly nations and rulers. He will have mercy on His people and execute judgment in righteousness.

As we wrap up year 2021, life just seems to keep reminding us that our time here on earth is limited. None of us know how much time we have left so what are you going to do with the time you have.

The apostle Paul is reminding the church at Ephesus to awake spiritually and to walk wisely because this world is an evil and wicked place. As God's people, it's our job to shine the light of Jesus Christ into the darkness.

We make plans, we have goals that we hope to achieve. Through it all we must always remain flexible and pliable for God's plan.

As we wrap up Matthew 16, we find Peter going from being praised to being rebuked. Jesus reminds him that it's not about him, what he wants or his opinion. This applies to us until this day. Trust God an lean not to your own understanding. His plan is necessary.

There comes a moment of truth in every Christian's walk when we find out for ourselves who God is. This is a very personal sacred and holy thing. Regardless of what the world says or thinks about Jesus Christ. It's time for God's people to take a stand for righteousness.

No matter how much education we have, Jesus is showing us that true wisdom begins and ends with God.

Jesus wants us to have a heart after Him; don't just seek for a sign. He wants us to be enlighten on a deeper level. You can only discern the signs of the times in the spirit.

As ambassadors for Christ, we are in the business of helping others. If you are sincere about helping others you will not have to look very far. There's a family in your neighborhood or church that needs assistance or just a pat on the back or prayer.

When we pour out God's love on those in our communities it will manifest hope. People will be blessed and encouraged. They will be hopeful about their situation. Some will even repent and receive Jesus Christ into their hearts. Isn't this is what it's all about?

Solomon was the richest and wisest person to ever live. Yahweh gave him wisdom and great wealth. He set out to find fulfillment apart from God. After he had partaken in all sorts of delectable delights Solomon said whatever he desired to do he did it. He realized it was all vanity, in other words, he felt empty and unfulfilled.

We must never forget, the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Put God first and He will not let you down.

Throughout our busy lives full of hustle and bustle it's important that we remember Jesus is our help. In Psalm 20 we have what is essentially a war cry. David is praying for the men as they prepare for battle. The King of Israel cries out for protection from the King of Kings.

It is true we must have good work ethics, be kind, considerate, and very courageous. Yet we must trust God with the results as it is all in His hands.

How do you define wealth? Let me tell you that wealth according to God's standards can't be quantified by Forbes magazine. God's word encourages us to lay up our treasures in heaven where moths and dust will not decay it and thieves can't steal it. So trust Jesus with all your heart, all your plans, hopes and dreams. He will not let you down.
