Back in high school, I made a poor decision.  A friend of mine wanted me to smoke some “weed” with him.  Being naïve, I went along with it but was not too happy with my decision the next day.  My misstep could have caused me to lose my position as student body President and even…

The word sealed in the New Testament comes from a Greek word that means “to stamp with a private mark” in the interest of keeping something secret or protected. In these last days, we are told that those who follow YHVH will be sealed.  Will we know the identity of those sealed?  Will we be the ones…

Have you ever had a person in your life that you would do anything for them?  Maybe you feel that way because they were there for you at your most vulnerable moment.  Maybe they are a person who knows you better than anyone else.  Maybe they rescued you from a catastrophe.  Or maybe you just…

To this day, I still have family members and friends who say to me, “Why do you follow the laws in the Old Testament, aren’t they just meant for the Jews?”  Have you ever had to wrestle with this?  At times, I get tired of the question, but mostly I get super excited to share…

What am I good for?  What can I possibly do?  Where can I serve in the body of believers?  Is there any kind of job made for me in the world?  How do I know if Yahweh God wants me to do a particular job?  Have you ever had these questions, run across your mind? …

While in Florida, I witnessed a little girl crying uncontrollably.  She was yelling and screaming because her parents wanted her to stop playing so that they could all eat dinner.  Even though they tried to remind her about her hunger, she wouldn’t listen, because she wanted “to play.” She didn’t even notice that the rest…

This week, Colorado’s Supreme Court decided to cause further division in this country.  By ignoring the lack of Federal prosecution and law, they moved forward to deny President Trump to be on their voting ballot.  By doing so, they are setting a precedent for any state to remove any candidate that they deem not worthy….

Are you longing for a rest?  If you have been fortunate enough to ever go on a vacation, I’m sure you would agree it’s on the 3rd day you finally feel “rested” enough to enjoy the break; and on the 7th day, you’re to the point of staying.  I don’t know about you, but I…
