It's Time!

If and when we have obtained the character of Christ, we can go into a person’s home, car, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room and ideally understand why they are depressed, anxious, have self pity, confrontational, or have constant mood swings! Your thoughts and actions speak volumes in your surroundings!


On the flip side, if a person is a “neat freak”, expect everyone and everything around them to be, act, and speak with perfection are legalistic!

The reason why I say “if” and “when” is many resist becoming a Christian and feel they don’t need God to make them whole; others say I believe in God but I want some time!

Time is of the essence!


This is not always the case, but 90% of the time, proves accurate; because; "Out of the heart the mouth speaks". (Luke 6:45) Your words, actions and once again surroundings says, “I am depressed, or I am a person of doubt, or I am a person of self pity, or I am a person who does everything right”! When in all actuality you are a person with a disabled character that needs a helping hand!


We continue to look to others for our needs, go to the bank when we are not handling our finances correctly and seek counselors to help in our anxieties, marriages, or with a wayward child, and more; yet our life and circumstances are still way out of balance!

The next time you wonder how your car, once cleaned up, got back to the same mess it was 2 days ago; watch your actions; and then you will have your answer! Now do you need a Savior? YES YOU DO AND HIS NAME IS JESUS!
He also said to the crowds of people, When you see a cloud rising in the west, at once you say, It is going to rain! And so it does.
55 And when [you see that] a south wind is blowing, you say, There will be severe heat! And it occurs.

56 You playactors (hypocrites)! You know how [intelligently] to discern and interpret and prove the looks of the earth and sky; but how is it that you do not know how to discern and interpret and apply the proof to this present time? (Luke 13:54-56 AMP)

Can I "Love" You This Much?

Negative words tear people down and exposes them.  "Every prudent man deals with knowledge, but a [self-confident] fool exposes and flaunts his folly." (Proverbs 13:16 AMPC)  (Folly biblical definition: 2a. : criminally or tragically foolish actions or conduct. b. obsolete : evil, wickedness especially : lewd behavior.) Confronting someone is different than badgering someone! Badgering means to repeatedly pester.  "By pride and insolence comes only contention, but with well-advised is skillful and Godly Wisdom." (Proverbs 13:10 AMPC)  When we lovingly and patiently correct others the response will be peaceful, loving and accepting also; however, words spoken in anger and with the intention to hurt, comes from a malicious and wicked heart. Hurtful words repeatedly play over in a person's mind (like a broken record) of how they don't measure up to the World's standards; therefore putting that person in the forefront of a sure target for Sat...

God is in "Control"!

The students who marched boldly, stepped out and reached out to gain the attention of our leaders. It is a sad situation and the act of violence that truly needs to cease! As I briefly listened, the stories were not just with our schools, but in our communities, our homes, and our jobs. We are in harms way every where we go. It's not the guns, or is it poverty, wealth or the situation our lives have turned to; it's deeper than that! It comes back to the fear, the anger, and the hate that is warring in our spirit and soul to ignite the violence and use weapons that destroy and kill.  Picture Courtesy of my nephew Dere While listening to the protestors, I heard anger, fear, and exhaustion in their voices also; because they too want change that moves all of us to a state of "Peace" and "Love"!  Not so long ago, we heard, "Black lives matter"; and now it's back to addressing the numerous and continuous shootings in the schools.  The struggl...

It's About Time!

You are given $100; however, you cannot keep it. You have to give it away to a charity or a person. Who would you give it to and why?  This is a question that the students I was substituting for was given to journal. Almost all of the students argued that $100 was not enough money to give to anybody. "Hmmmm", I said. You can do quite a bit with $100  - - - - - -  Our Sunday School class did it with pennies! "How", the students asked. All of the Sunday school classes were informed that it doesn't take much to give to others and if they would begin to bring in pennies, we would be able to give back to those in need. The first year, they gathered enough pennies to provide a Turkey dinner and the roaster to cook it in for a family of five. In addition to providing clothing for a child at Christmas. Each year the giving of pennies grew; whereas, the giving to others in the community grew as well. So if they can do it with pennies, you can do it with $100. Wh...
