Wake Up and Listen! John 8:47 “Anyone on God’s side listens to God’s words.” There is an old saying ‘there is none so deaf as those who will not hear.’ Many of us when caught up in addiction and compulsion are on auto pilot. We don’t see what […]
Permitted Doesn’t Always Mean ‘Good for You’ 1 Corinthians 6:12 Just because something is technically legal doesn’t mean that it’s spiritually appropriate. If I went around doing whatever I thought I could get by with, I’d be a slave to my whims. I started drinking at the age […]
A man went into a chemist and asked the chemist “do you have anything to stop hiccups?” The chemist came around from behind the counter and slapped the man, hard. Shocked and confused the man yelled, “what are you doing?” “You don’t have hiccups anymore do you?” asked the chemist. ‘No’ said […]

Philippians 3:14-15 I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back. So let’s keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision–you’ll […]
