Okay, I’ve heard you!
Many people want to join us on the prayer initiative, but because of busy schedules can’t keep up with intense study everyday. So I’m easing up a bit. I will be blogging a couple of days a week..
Those of you who have more time will be able to delve more deeply into the topics we introduce.
So here goes.
Do you ever think of something you did or said 10 years ago – something you wish you hadn’t done or said- and feel a wave of guilt flow over you? I have. In fact, there have even been times when I would wake up during the night with such things on my mind, and not be able to go back to sleep. Have you?
Well God wants us to cut that out! (more…)

We have begun our Journey To a Confident Prayer Life. We are starting with the very basics, yet everything we are covering is essential for a great prayer life. First we have to be honest with ourselves and determine where we are in our journey. Then we have to make sure that Jesus is truly our Lord. We want our eyes open to God’s plan and we can only do this if we do it His way. For our prayers to be answered the way we want we have to have faith in God, so every step we take is part of the process of building our faith.

About two years ago, I led a prayer focus to help us understand the whole concept of prayer. Several people have asked me to repeat it, since they missed out last time. So here goes.
One of the most important attributes of a Christian’s walk is the ability to pray. As God works with us, we can literally see lives turned around, disasters abated, and regions transformed. Throughout history there are many testimonies to confirm this. Yet, you may say, “I’m not sure that my prayers are accomplishing such greatness.” Well, hang on. This focus is just for you. We are going to be building over the next 28 days a prayer fortress in your life and mine. You will gain confidence in your prayers and in your significance for God’s purposes. (more…)

So how do you rate your relationship with God? Do you know Him? Do you talk to Him? Do you hear Him speak to you? Do you get up in the morning with exhilaration over another day to spend with Him?
I’ve walked with my Creator for many years now and there is one thing of which I am certain: all of us have room to grow in our relationship with Him. Whether you are a beginner or a teacher of many there is always more to learn about Him and there is always a deeper fellowship to be obtained. (more…)

My grandson, Charlie, sat on my lap and, with wide eyes, began to tell me his story. Spiderman, Batman, Pink Venom, Black Venom, and Green Goblin were having a “spend-the-night party.” He animatedly continued to create this adventure, which eventually led to a gi-normous (that’s bigger than gigantic or enormous alone) box falling on them and they had to fight it off.
All of us hearing the three year old elaborate enjoyed listening to his imagination on steroids. What a creative mind!
Later, in a quieter moment, I began to think how we adults lose that creativity. What happens to it? Why are we always so methodical and logical about our visions? Why do we always settle for the “norm?”
If everyone “settled for the norm,” we would have none of the cutting edge technology, space travel, or medical wonders of our generation. So some are not settling, but how about you? How about me?
The Bible says that faith is the substance of things “hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen.” The “hoped for” is the thing I want to talk about today. The hope is like a blueprint in your mind of what you are believing for. If you don’t have a picture in your mind of what you are believing for, then how can you have faith for it? You can’t! (more…)
Okay, I’ve heard you!
