Impatience can turn us into our own worst enemies. Traffic rush hour is a good example.

We expect God to answer immediately; when He … Continue reading The Virtue of Patience
Psalm 46:10
Be Still!
Most people don't know God because sin separates them from Him, yet, He still loves them. He gave His own Son to die on the cross for their sins so they could be free, but most won't accept it.

Be Still
We learn so much about God when raising our children.

There are times when we pray about certain situations and put our faith and hope in God, but things don't improve; in fact, they appear worse. This is when we need to stop looking at the situation and focus on God. He is our Creator, our Lord, our soon coming King. He is the One … Continue reading Sometimes we Need to be Still
Rest in His Peace
When the circumstances around us are overwhelming, and the confusion and chaos send waves of chills in our direction, the best thing we can do is withdraw from it all and praise God because no matter how it appears, He is still in control. The negative feelings and fear will disappear because our hearts will … Continue reading Rest in His Peace

We can only live in God's peace when we know Him well enough to put our faith in Him, and that comes from studying the Scriptures and spending time in prayer and worship. This is when God becomes real to us and when our faith in Him grows so that we know who we are … Continue reading Be Still!
