Church denies God’s power!

If you have witnessed miracles like I have or even just listened to others recount miraculous stories – one common thread will emerge.  There will be one person in the story or listening to the story who is amazed or stunned by the hand of God. My dad told a true story about a church who was devastated to learn that a bar would be built just one block from their church property.  The bar planned to have exotic dancers and other events that would change the street environment and possibly bother children and congregants after services.  As the bar was being built the church held special prayer meetings asking

Government can not change your life!

Government promotes the idea that it has the ability to change our personal lives for the better. They believe that they are  elite and their philosophy is so lofty that they can cause a change in our will, our inner thoughts and our actions.   THAT IS A LIE!

Think for a moment how you (all) Trump voters felt yesterday morning and up until about 10PM. We prayed, we were anxious, we felt sick. All those feelings swirled around us as we pushed ourselves to remember that no matter what the outcome, God will take care of us. Remember the sick feeling in your stomach when

Vote with confidence – The Church is still Alive!

As I finished praying this morning, I wondered what I could say that would give you peace and encouragement as you go vote today.  An old song began to play in my head.  When I tried to write, the music in my head seemed to drown out any other thoughts. Maybe….just maybe….God wants you to feel empowered today.  Maybe He wants to encourage you that no matter what happens – there will always be a Triumphant Church.  And you can be part of that church.  We aren’t called to hang our heads and be discouraged victims.  We are called to stand tall and strong and face our trials triumphantly. Take
