No more pretending, no more hiding, no more secrets. Be honest. Coming Clean, and confessing to God, what is it that has mastered you?

We have all heard the sayings...If you mess with bull, you'll get the horns or if you play with fire, you'll get burned. But we continue to play with sin. There are consequences for the sin that comes into our lives.

Jesus knew He had a limited time frame, He knew He only had about thirty-six months for His public ministry. At the beginning of his ministry, Jesus called upon several men who were not religious teachers or leaders, they were fishermen.

Our culture has many wrong ideas about marriage. In fact, Marriage has become little more than a punch-line or better yet, a punching bag in today's culture. But God's design for marriage, looks very different.

The people in your life, they can be the greatest spiritual asset, or they can be your worst spiritual curse. When the right people are around you, they can be a tremendous spiritual asset; people who lift you, encourage you and equip you spiritually. The wrong people can be incredibly distracting, destructive and poisonous in your life, if you are not careful.

Memorial Day is not simply a day to mark the beginning of Summer or another day to extend the weekend. Memorial Day is a day to stop, to show respect and remember the lives to so many that were sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy in the United States. Every headstone is a marker, in memory of a person and a family with a story to tell.

People often feel as though they haven't done enough of the right thing, or perhaps too much wrong to become a Christian. However, God's word and one man's journey teaches us that no one is too far from God's grace. The apostle Paul started out as a Jewish Zealot who murdered Christians. He went from a persecutor of Christianity to a proclaimer of it.

When the angel of the Lord appeared to Mary, He said she was highly favored. The fact is that there were many things that the Angel didn't exactly explain to Mary in that moment. How many times in life do we get frustrated because we cannot see the bigger picture, can't see God's timing or purpose?

In life we all make many choices every day, more than we likely realize. No matter what our DNA or pedigree, even those from the best family lineage, can make some very bad choices.

We like to organize our lives around ideal situations, when things aren't going perfectly, life becomes stressful and chaotic. However, Daniel lived his whole life in Babylonian captivity. He made the very best of a bad situation, in fact He bloomed.
