The title instantly caught my attention while browsing through the bookstore after work one day (Borders bookstore is closing and having a sale! Catch it while you can!).

Gospel music always helps to soothe my soul. Often times it gets me through the work day. A few weeks ago, I was having “one of those days” at the office and opted to play some good ‘ol gospel to help lift my spirits.

I was sitting here earlier reading to my children a story from their Veggie Tales book. One of the stories is about Jonah.

“When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise.” 2 Corinthians 10:12b (NIV)

I Hear You. I’m yelping for help, screaming for some relief, but yet and still I must take the pain of this birthing process without any spiritual epidural.

I’ve always thought that I could get through just about anything if the Lord would tell me what the outcome would be.

No man or woman is absolutely free. Romans 6:16 says we are the slaves of the one whom we obey—slaves of either sin or obedience to the Lord.

“I think I’m churched out. I’m kinda tired of all these preachers and missy’s screaming at me to praise God!!!”

Acts 13:22 New International Version (NIV)

“After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him:

I was dating this guy, and I was really into him. So whenever he called, I made it my duty to answer. I wanted to know him and everything about him. No time was too early or too late for us to spend hours talking. If he called at 2:36AM my sleep would have to wait because my man was on the line.

My father used to tell me stories of what it was like growing up in his country. A wave of excitement always lit up his face as he reminisced and talked about the warm sun, white sand, fresh fruit, and clean water.

In this new age of technology and scientific facts, spiritual warfare (the battle against rulers, authorities and the powerful evil forces of fallen angels headed by Satan) can seem so unreal but the truth is, it’s a reality. Ephesians 6:12 states “we battle not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

Wait: To stay in one place and anticipate or expect something.

Amongst the many descriptions of “waiting”, the above definition is what struck me the most. It describes the skill and purposefulness that is involved in the act of waiting.

Let’s be frank, when I hear these words “Boring Christian”, I quite clearly want to ask the grown individual what exactly, are they defining as fun?

There is no greater joy than to raise up a child who is completely dependent on you, looks to you for everything, hangs onto your every word and does their best to mimic your every move. Sounds great doesn’t it!!! There is also no greater responsibility that a parent/guardian can have than the raising, nurturing, the development, and continuous education of a child.

Secrets. Everyone has them and few are willing to come clean. They destroy relationships and may very well turn your impeccable world upside down. Writer Robin Baker understood this and wrote about it in the stage play, “The Best Kept Secrets”.

Today is our birthday and we are one! On May 3rd 2010 SO DIVINE launched in hopes of reaching out to many individuals across the globe and we’ve done just that!

I was shocked when my friend told me that it took her a long time to believe that God loved her. But I was even more shocked when I found myself thinking the very same thing.

I received some news today that the pastor of a mega church passed away in a car accident the night before. I did not know the pastor personally, but I felt it for his family and congregation.

Are you a God chaser? I am. What do I mean by that? I’m glad you asked. I have prayed, cried, hollered, kicked scratched (Well…, not really, but you get the idea), and basically poured my heart out to God for more of him

Lately I have been bombarded with statements from many self proclaimed non-Christians that “we believe in the same God”. And I like to tell them, “No way!”

Roomate #1: Wake up! Aren’t you going to church today?

Roomate#2: (Yawning) No, not today. Next week.

Roomate #1: Come on! You said that the last couple of weeks. And when was the last time you’ve been to church?

Do you know you have a call on your life? Maybe you probably already know that. Or maybe you don’t know that. Or maybe you’ve been sensing that the Lord is calling you to something but you don’t know what it is. Or maybe you are searching for that calling.
