Our pastor opened up church on Sunday saying ‘Today we are going to talk about what we should wear’. Winnie Joy said to me in an excited whisper, “finally, a sermon about fashion sense!” Isaiah 61:10 New International Version I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed […]

A Year in Review
Philippians 1:3 I thank my God every time I remember you. 2016 has been a hard year for our ministry as we’ve gone through growing pains. But we have also accomplished so much! As a new year starts, we’ve been reviewing the past year and have been amazed at all that has happened. With the income […]
Inspire
Inspire literally means to breath in. Like you would do if you are about to do something crazy, like jump into ice cold water, or jump out of an airplane for the first time. Inspire is a transitive verb, insinuating that you are about to do something. Inspiration makes you want to do something, as […]
JOY
Romans 5:5 King James Bible And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. The Love of God has been shed abroad in our hearts. Christmas is when we celebrate Jesus’ birth. Jesus came, lived, died on the cross, […]
Letting Go
◄ Psalm 55:22 ► New International Version Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. The Indians that I worked with in Colombia hunted monkeys using only rice and coconuts. They took a coconut, and filled it with rice through a little hole. The […]

Acts 6:1 New International Version … their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. As a child, one of my favorite activities was practicing pitching (although I was never a pitcher). One Christmas present that my dad bought for me at Sears and Roebucks was a pitching net. The net backstop would […]
Give Yourself
◄ Acts 20:35 ► New International Version In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ HOLI-DAYS = HOLY days Holidays are all about remembering God. Holidays should be […]
Don’t Stop Believing
2 Timothy 4:10 Demas, because he loved this world, has deserted me. That was Paul writing. I don’t pretend to know Demas’ spiritual condition, but Paul seemed to imply that Demas abandoned his faith, his beliefs. 2 Thes. 2 talks about loving the lie, and turning your back on the truth. That is what appears to […]
Remain
John 15:5 New International Version I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. Remaining means doing nothing else but to hang in there. To stay connected. A branch doesn’t separate from the vine by […]
Consistent
1 Corinthians 15:58 New International Version Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in theLord is not in vain. Unbelievers cannot believe it when a believer is inconsistent. Everyone loves consistency. Even if […]
