We all want to be recognized when “we” think we have done something important. I think we can relate!
Well in Proverbs 25: 6-7it says, 6 Don’t demand an audience…..7 It is better to wait for an invitation than to be sent to the end of the line, publicly disgraced. Also in Luke 14:7-14, Jesus talks about seeking [...]

My next door neighbor’s mother passed away in the early hours of Saturday April 19th. The funeral was on Monday afternoon in Macon, where Ashleigh and I sat and listened to four individuals get up and talk about how wonderful this Christian woman was. They talked about how she would always help others before helping herself. Her pastor talked [...]
Double Standards

Proverbs 20:10 The Lord despises double standards of every kind.
Ouch! Get off my foot God. Boy, I can learn alot from this passage. I often tell my son not to hate or dislike someone who has done something to him or some how just rubs him the wrong way. I’m sure everybody has someone in [...]

It’s hard being a Christ Follower these days, don’t you agree? With all of the things we are involved in and with all of our friends pulling us in different directions. How about our job, it requires our time and attention also. Well, I can speak from first hand experience we don’t need to let [...]
The Blame Game

In Job 9:17-18 Job is talkng about how God attacks him without reason and in verse 18 he talks about how God won’t let him catch his breath. I think Job is walking on thin ice here. Kinda like we do when we are going through tough times in our lives. God would never ”attack” us [...]

There are so many things in my life that the scriptures in Proverbs are talking about. Like Proverbs 12:16 A fool is quick-tempered, but a wise person stays calm when insulted. We all get offended when someone insults us or someone in our family. Coming in contact with alot of people, because of my job, I [...]

Yesterday I talked about Eliphaz. He was trying to give Job advice that he really didn’t need. Eliphaz thought the problems Job was having was because of his sins. Again, we need to be careful who we listen to.
I talked Wed. night in Journey about hearing the voice of God. There were 5 habits I [...]
Listen to the right voice, God’s voice

I was reading in Job 4 where Eliphaz the Temanite, a friend of Job, was telling him he needed to go to God and confess his sins. Eliphaz assumed that because Job was going through some tough times in his life he had done something wrong. Many times in our lives we go through trials [...]

Well, thanks to the message from Bro. Jerry, {040608} the Lord hit me between the eyes. He showed me I needed to get more serious with my quiet times. I started journaling again a few days ago and I stumbled on to this web sight. So instead of writing down my thoughts I’m now going to start typing [...]
