Family, we are in a battle of balancing finance and morality. Pride versus humility. With all that has been happening Ephesians 4:26 keeps echoing in my mind. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath (KJV). We read this and take it at face...
I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.

Who Told You That?
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.Proverbs 23:7 (KJV) Family, we need to take our minds back. Proverbs 23:7 is part of a larger teaching concerning the company we keep. Solomon was warning...
Stay In Your Lane
When we begin to get into the swing of our calling, it is so easy to get full of ourselves. We feel that once we get into a rhythm, we can start to branch out to other areas of our interest. Why? Because it's what culture dictates. Note I said our interest. There is...
Wear Your Own Clothes
Society has a funny way of being judgmental without being judgmental. Subliminal messages meant to steer our minds this way and that. It's exhausting scrolling through social media. Why? Perhaps it's because we're watching everyone's highlight reels and subconsciously...

When We Stumble
When we make a mistake, especially an embarrassing one, we want to hide what we did. There are even cute little sayings that encourage you to cover up your stumble. "When you stumble, make it a part of the dance." - unknown author. We may be able to get away with that...
Enlarge My Territory
And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with...
