Charleston Christians: True Grace Under Fire
No one is perfect, but if you want to look into the eyes of true Christians start with the victims, families, and friends of the “Charleston Nine” from the Emanuel AME Church.

They are true grace under fire. Continue reading “Charleston Christians: True Grace Under Fire”
Away; But Not From God
I spent last week trying—somewhat unsuccessfully!—to get away from work during my “staycation.” I simply had to try to catch my breath, take care of a few personal issues, and get away from the rat race for a few days. But unlike times past when I tried to drop out from everything, including God, this time I tried to move even closer to God. Continue reading “Away; But Not From God”
Why Can’t We Simply Get Along?

God’s Always Home Waiting
We get lost on occasion. We stray from home. Sometimes we even leave home and squander everything we have been given. But God is always home, waiting for us to come back. In fact, he is less than a heartbeat away. We simply have to come back home to Him. Continue reading “God’s Always Home Waiting”
Why, God?
This is one of those days when you simply have to ask, “Why, God?” Hate crimes are horrific. A hate crime in a church is unexplainable. So, we simply find ourselves asking God how can He possible let this happen. Continue reading “Why, God?”
Walking Faith
Talk is cheap. Living life based on what you can see is cheap. Walking faith is not easy and often “expensive.” You have to close your eyes and just walk. It takes faith.
As Paul says, “We walk by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5:7)
It’s easy to live life just by sight. You live for the world and grab all the gusto there is. You live just for yourself and no tomorrow. The problem is that living by sight ironically leads to a dead end in life. It’s shallow and unfulfilling. That’s why so many people are unhappy—they hit one dead end after another.
Living by faith—what you can’t see but believe—is not easy. It’s tough. It takes leaps of faith and shutting out what you can see. However, it’s amazingly fulfilling when you do it for some time. And it leads to greater peace and joy in life. That’s because you realize there is something better and beyond this world. There’s a future of possibilities—not just dead ends.
Try walking faith. Get back to what Jesus said about how to live life and how Paul and others interrupted what Jesus said. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act (Psalm 37:5). But you have to commit—not half way but all the way! Have faith. Leap!
Have a great day walking faith!

We all have good days and bad days. Our emotions ebb and flow. However, if you stay close to God, or move back to Him when you may have strayed, there are simply no bad days. If you let God really shine in your life any clouds in your life will part. Don’t believe me? Simply try this. Continue reading “No Bad Days With God!”
