REAL FAITH: When Hard Times Come
My family has been walking through one of the hardest seasons any of us have ever been entrusted with in the past 3 decades. We are in many ways exhausted, we are mourning, yet in the midst of all of it…we are filled with the hope of this extravagant Savior of ours. Jesus is more […]
So Loved He The World
My grandmother has played the piano for decades at her church in west Texas…I was thinking of one of the hymns I heard her play so many times. It says, “To God be the glory, great things He hath done, so loved He the world that He gave us His Son…” That line comes from […]
What it means to change your thinking…
Developing an overcomer’s mindset takes practice; taking thoughts captive, then moving our thinking the opposite direction of negativity. Move your thoughts toward obedience to God’s ways and increased faith…because without faith it’s impossible to please the Lord. The world can be cynical, but we don’t have to be. Your thought life really can look different […]
RealFaith: The Thing About Prayer
This is just a fervent passion of mine, this thing of prayer…talking to God, our Creator, and hearing back from Him. I love this quote from a wonderful little book I’m reading called, “Rabbi, Teach us to Pray” by Aaron Eby; I hope you enjoy this food for thought! “Perhaps we do not feel eloquent […]

Interestingly enough, if you take a look at a DNA double helix structure from the front, this is what we normally see in science textbooks (see picture below). But, what you probably have never seen is what a DNA double […]
Who Really Knows?
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster,to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11, New Living Translation) Are there situations and circumstances in your life that you don’t understand? Surely, I cannot be the only one! There are so many […]
There are no coincidences!
“Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath or spirit of life, and man became a living being.” Genesis 2:7 I love how eventually as time goes on, science always ends up confirming what the Bible says is true; it makes me happy! We have […]
Proverbs 18:21 says that the tongue can bring death or life.
Proverbs 18:21 says that the tongue can bring death or life. So the question today is: How are you using yours? We have no idea how our words may be affecting those who hear them. Have you ever been around someone who continually spoke words of LIFE into you? Those people are sometimes hard to […]
