“I tell you the truth, you will all see heaven open and the angels of God going up and down on the Son of Man, the one who is the stairway between heaven and earth.” John 1:51 “Jesus doesn’t show you the steps to get to heaven–Jesus is the steps to heaven… He comes to …

Drab to Fab
Christmas is about God bringing fab to the drab, light to the darkness, hope to the hopeless, and joy to the sorrowing.
When the Time Had Fully Come
Man’s timing is not God’s timing; He is always right where He needs to be when He needs to be.
The Gift and the Giver
God’s greatest gift to humankind was given to us at Christmas; His one and only beloved Son. Anyone – that means you and me – who believes in Him receives eternal life.
When God is Silent
It’s a natural tendency to mistake God’s silence for inactivity. When we pray and fail to hear an answer, we are tempted to believe God doesn’t care, that He’s wandered off, or He doesn’t care. Nothing could be further from the truth. God works some of His most powerful deeds in the wake of His ‘silence.’
Bitterness
Truth is, God doesn’t owe us anything yet He gave us everything. That’s grace.
A Prayer
Even when it seems that things are not going my way, I know that they are going your way, and that in the end your way is the best way for me.
Attitude of Gratitude
Gratitude is an exercise of the heart and mind. It’s living with our eyes wide open to God’s many blessings. Every dawn is a gift from God, every breath, every heartbeat. But we’ve become so inured to God’s blessings that we take them for granted and shrug them off as our due. God doesn’t owe us anything, yet He has given us everything; salvation through Jesus Christ, redemption, forgiveness, mercy, grace. As if that were not enough, He pours out blessing upon blessing every day.
God’s Powerful Hand
Miracles are the blessings that bring us to our knees in heartfelt admission of God’s sovereign touch in our lives. The same God who worked in mighty ways for His chosen people is the same God today. His might and power have not diminished over time. His love and mercy remain unchanged. God sustains those He loves – because that’s the kind of God we serve.
Hope Doesn’t Disappoint
Hope understands there is so much more to life than the physical eye can perceive. Christian hope bridges the gap between what we don’t understand – our current situation – and what we know about God; His goodness, His kindness, and His love. His intent is not to hurt us but to give us a future that is far better than our limited human perception. While our hopes and dreams resemble stick figures, He’s working on a Mona Lisa.
