When we doubt, and foster any unbelief in our lives we become anxious, fearful, and we worry. The cure for eliminating these negative emotions is to trust God and believe in the power of His word. The word says “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, presentContinue reading “Eliminating Fear”

When we apply God’s will in our lives, there is no better way to honor and show our love to our Father. Jesus gives us the perfect example of doing the will of God, and not His own.

Our country, society as a whole, is taking a turn for the worst. Violence and mass shootings are occurring at an alarming rate. No one is safe anymore, and we all need more protection.

Patience truly is a virtue. If you are like me there are times when we wish we had more patience. Somehow we have to overcome the tendency to react quickly.

How can I become a more loving person? If “God is love“ ( 1 John 4:8) and he is, the answer is clear. Get closer to God. As close as I think that I am to God, if my talk, walk, and actions, are not always with love; I need a greater closeness to God.Continue reading “Becoming a More Loving Person”
