The next phrase in the Lord's prayer is easy to say, but it is much harder to live. God is worthy of honor. His name alone is worthy of honor! Yet as flawed human beings we want to honor ourselves. It is in our nature. The concept of humility has been heavy on my mind [...]
Jesus example prayer starts with a simple concept, yet there is so much in it. I hadn't thought about the first word much, but Warren Wiersbe drew attention to it in his commentary on the book of Matthew, Be Loyal. Wiersbe points out that there no singular pronouns in the Lord's prayer. They are all [...]
As I mentioned last week, 2019 for me is about prayer. To start the year, I want to work through what is often called The Lord's Prayer. Jesus' disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray. This is what Jesus said. Jesus always gave perfect advice. I want to learn to follow His example. [...]
I have known many who choose a word for each year. It is something that they want to focus on throughout the new year. This year I want to focus on prayer. This is a lesson God has been teaching me for almost 5 years now. I have thought about it, written some blog posts [...]
I pray you have a blessed Christmas. We like to enjoy the time with family and friends, exchanging gifts, too many Christmas cookies and the list goes on.

As I mentioned in my Thanksgiving and Praise post, I have been thinking about a statement of thanksgiving. This has been on my mind and heart for some time. I couldn’t write this philosophy because of some life struggles over the past several years. I wanted to be able to be honest about the difficulties, [...]
