God told me one day, “Just whisper now. Just talk to me in a whisper.” We pay more attention to people who whisper. Sometimes I whisper and when I do the other person has to listen closely because everyone else is yelling. When we whisper at the dinner table, everyone…
When I was talking to God recently, I was walking down the street, and God told me to close my eyes. He said, “See how much more you hear when you close your eyes? Your other senses become heightened.” Think about the last movie you saw that had a kidnapping….
I went walking today and was feeling a bit lonely. My wife Nicole usually walks with me, and she was out of town, so I decided to call a friend. I got his voicemail and left him a nice message. Then I tried to call another friend and got HIS…
If we do not have unity with God, we cannot have it with ourselves. We were meant to be in harmony with God and when we are not, our life is in disarray. If it doesn’t appear so on the outside then it reveals itself on the inside. Into-Me-You-Can-See Intimacy…
God blesses us yet we continue to want more and more. David had been blessed with much yet he still had to go take what was NOT his to take. He took another man’s wife. (2 Samuel 11:4) It looked like David got away with it, but he didn’t. There…
We watch team sports, marriages, and group activities that require cooperation. They either succeed because they are united or fail because they are divided. Unity provides strength. Two people are better than one. They can help each other succeed, to get up from a fall, to keep warm, or to…
Conflict can arise from grumbling. If we talk about someone in a positive way and it gets back to them, the situation improves. If we say negative things, the situation gets worse. The Bible reads, when I became a man, I put away childish things (1 Corinthians 13:11) As adults…
When a balloon is full of hot air it rises, then as it cools it drops back down. Our feelings are similar, much like a roller coaster, yet that’s not how God intended. When a balloon is full of helium, it rises and stays above the situation. It is…
It is so easy to stay busy and claim that we have no time when we are the ones who set our schedules. We AGREE with the busy lifestyle by continuing to be too busy for the things that truly matter in life. Mary was at the Lord’s feet (focusing on him) while…
God: Don’t you think I get lonely when you don’t talk to me? You bring something to me that no one else brings. I will take you out of mediocrity and into abundance. I complete you. TRUST ME. Throw yourself on me. Choose me. I have already chosen you,…
Testing. Temptation. Trials. They all start with the If’s. The statement ‘What if’ holds so much possibility, and opportunity, yet for us it can also hold condemnation and accusation. Jesus experienced trials just as we do. He fasted for 40 days and 40 nights putting his spirit before his…
When we receive a negative voicemail, Facebook message, or message of any kind we need to draw the line in the sand, delete the message, block the number and move on. Being addicted to other people’s approval causes us to be a puppet to mankind. We should not be controlled…
