Knowing God

As long as I can remember I had thoughts about God. It seems like a long time ago in a galaxy far far away (3 years old in Willis, TX) I was tucked into bed, and led to pray, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. And if I…

Setting Appointments for Success

Over the last month I’ve been more productive than I was in the first half of this year. This is because I’m setting appointments for success.

Kingdom of Heaven

What do you imagine when you think of the kingdom of God or kingdom of heaven? Most of us probably think of a place where God dwells with us where there are no more tears, death, or sorrow (Rev. 21:1-5). A place that we will experience one day, when we die or when Jesus returns. But…

God’s Will is To Do Something New

As Christians there is an inherent desire in us to know God’s will. Many believe we are carried along in it no matter what we do. Some think that our only direction is what’s stated in the Bible. And some don’t want to know God’s will because they think they will end up doing something they have…
