“Taking Responsibility For Your Life”
It has been said, “It’s easier to be ignorant and reliant, than it is to be informed and responsible.” My sense is that it’s more convenient today to talk about being a victim, than it is to take responsibility for an incident. This is most unfortunate since success...
“When You Hit a Wall”
“Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.” - Proverbs 27:1 When tragedy strikes, I often whisper to myself, “Tomorrow is promised to no one.” Sometimes people refer to such times as “hitting a wall,” which usually means something...
“Breaking the Power of the Past”
It’s been said that in the first 40 years of his life, Moses learned to be SOMEBODY. In the next 40 years, while in the desert, Moses learned to be a NOBODY. In the final 40years, during the time of the Exodus, he learned that God was for EVERYBODY! Some might ask,...

“Could We Have Done Better?”
This Sunday we continue working our way through the Gospel of Mark and hear three accounts of how Jesus is treated when Judas (one of the Twelve Disciples), leads a crowd armed with swords and clubs to arrest Jesus. Then Jesus is brought before the Sanhedrin where he...
“The Hard Choice”
In John 12, Jesus told his disciples, “Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name!” Yet in the Garden of Gethsemane he prayed, “Abba, Father,...
