there was a time when we were burned out, for lack of a better term. i do not believe in burnout. i think that you should do something for the kingdom of God. you should work in a church. it would be best to put your talents to use, even cleaning, ushering, or taking roll—all…

i wanted to share a few things i have learned that have impacted me for eternity. some of these things, you would think, should be common sense for a Christian. most of these have a similar theme, and it boils down to people and relationships. people are the heartbeat of God. it’s why He created…

spiritual warfare; it’s the sign of the times. never before has the Christian church been closer to the Second Coming of Christ and under such a grand attack from the enemy. every morning, God’s mercies are new, yet the populous turns to entertainment and self-gratification. most of those that have tried to live for God…

two of my favorite parables that Jesus taught are “The Prodigal Son” and the “Hidden Treasure.” there is no doubt that i gravitate toward these two passages due to personal experience. i want to define a parable and explain its purpose. i will also share relevant testimonies and take some time to go through the…
