Have you ever been Had? God says He doesn’t want us to forget. We say, we just want to be healed. Has Good or Proud ever gotten in the way of you being Healed? There have been more Hads than Good or Proud may ever know. And sometimes it takes a Has Been to know a Had.

What are you listening to? What are you watching? Are you listening to God's word -or a fish-language?

A brief study of John's rebuke to the Pharisees and Saducees in Matthew 3:7-10

I love recipe books...looking through them, collecting them, and occasionally even using them. I suppose just having them is rather like a safety net.

Are you hiding your hidden treasures from view?

Some of my greatest teachers have taught me that faith and trust are two of our most powerful allies. True belief in your ability to create results in your life is based upon this trust. We know that...

With the end of what seemed to be a never ending winter, we are now ready to start cleaning up around the house. We are anxious to lighten the load and get rid of unwanted junk. Some of it we get tired of or have outgrown. We either do one of three things, throw the stuff out, give it away or sell it because it still has some value.

Just because something negative happened in your life and knocked you off your feet, doesn't mean you have to stay sitting down on your backside. GET UP!!! We all fall down. But the one's that become successful are the ones that GET UP and try it again!!!

Knowing The Holy Spirit! “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses…to the ends of the earth.” ACTS 1:8 Thousands of evangelists from more than 130 countries have attended the International Conference for Itinerant Evangelists, sponsored by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. One year, I was asked to speak on how to be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Are you at a crossroad in your life where you want the after to be better than the before? Do you feel as though your life is not on “purpose”?
