A CONFUSED CROWD

Luke 9:18 Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say I am?” The first thing that comes to mind when one sees a crowd of protestor are 'they are united in purpose' because they seem to be moving and acting together. However,... Continue Reading →

DO THE BEST IN YOUR CORNER

Our verse of interest today is 1 Corinthians 9:22: "To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some". I found it interesting that Paul became ALL things to ALL people, but the end goal was so... Continue Reading →

WE ARE NOT SENT TO EVERYBODY.

Among the things God gives with every assignment is it's scope: to whom, when and where. Overtime, there is room for this scope to be enlarged but in it's infancy, limits are placed to offer guidance, context and structure. Therefore, as much as you may have the zeal, passion and resources that seem to give... Continue Reading →

BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT REST

Many of the movies we watch have painted an unconscious narrative that you must encounter danger when rescuing others. While you indeed face the prospect of harm, it must not become the standard. One unspoken rule of emergency response services, whether search and rescue or medical services is to ensure that 'the rescuer does not... Continue Reading →

The question "what do you have to show for it?" is what comes to mind after reading the text from the Prophet Isaiah. We could consider the... Continue Reading →

THE EFFECTS OF FRUITFULNESS

(Hosea 10:1-2).Whenever an individual achieves an enviable level of results and fruitfulness, the first thing that suffers is their relationship: first with God,... Continue Reading →

A HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST ITSELF

One of the most used scriptures in discussing the area of agreement or division is Amos 3:3 which reads "Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?" Thus, we identify that at the very foundation of a walk together is the agreement to do so. That is the starting point. And if... Continue Reading →

WHAT ARE YOUR TRIGGERS?

REFERENCE TEXT: MARK 10:46-52 Before any race, there is some form of signaling. Whether light or sound is used, there is always a stimuli that marks the start of any event. For us as humans, we also have stimuli that solicit responses from us, we could refer to these as triggers. This is a description... Continue Reading →

ARE YOU REALLY FREE?

Reference text: Acts 28:16-30 Acts 28:16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him. Today's account tells us of Paul's house arrest when he came to Rome. While he acknowledged the injustice,... Continue Reading →
