Good morning. Today is Friday September 4th, 2026.
Proverbs 12:14 " Wise words bring many benefits, and hard work brings rewards."
While we think we may be immune to the endless litany of television commercials, online ads, our friends' gadgets and gizmos, the constant admonition to spend, spend, spend, we Christians need to be alert to how Satan tempts us with the temporal. I'll mention a few ways to avoid the magnetism of the cash register or the credit card..
Doctrinal danger... Substituting the temporal for the eternal.
Personal danger... Trying to impress instead of imparting the Word.
Economical danger... Spending more than you have.
Psychological danger... Believing your purchase will make things "all right."
Make Hebrews 12:3 your aim: "Consider Him... so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."
Have you ever taken the easy way and suffered the consequences?
Did you wish you had simply done the work required?
Remember that old saying, " Look before you leap." Another way to think about this is, " Count the cost before you invest."
How will this action affect my future. Good thoughts all. Take everything to God in prayer and wait upon Him. If He give you peace, then proceed, if not, wait or abandon the idea all together.
He has a plan for your life, walk in it to His glory. Pastor

Good morning. Today is Thursday September 3rd 2026.
Endurance finds favor with God. Consider that as you follow along.
1 Peter 4:19 " So if you are suffering in a manner that pleases God, keep on doing what is right, and trust your lives to God who created you, for He will never fail you."
If you are a hard - working faithful employee ,diligent, honest, productive, prompt, caring, and you are working for a boss who is belligerent, stubborn, short sighted, and ungrateful, and if you patiently endure that situation- that finds favor with God, When you endure, you put grace on display. And when you put grace on display for the glory of God, you would revolutionize your work place or any situation.
The purpose of the believer in society is to bring glory and honor to the name of Christ, not to be treated well or to have life easy or even to be happy, as wonderful as all of those things are.
Why are these things happening to you? So that you might follow in the steps of our Lord Jesus, who suffered for us.
Can you think of a time in your life when you have suffered for the glory of God? How does it feel knowing that such faithfulness pleases God? Pastor

Good morning. Today is Wednesday September 2nd 2026.
How often do you think about God's great faithfulness to you and those who believe in Him as Savior and lord.
Lamentations 3:22
"The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease".
The Lord's mercies never cease. The Lord's compassion never fails. The Lord's faithfulness never diminishes. That defines God immutability, which means " He doesn't change." He never cools off in His commitment to us. He never breaks a promise or loses enthusiasm. He stays near to us when we are jealous for the truth, and He stays near us when we reject His counsel and deliberately disobey. His faithfulness is unconditional, unending, and unswerving. Nothing we do can diminish it, and nothing we stop doing can increase it. Mysterious though such incredible constancy may seem, It is true. What does it mean for you to know that God is incapable of abandoning you now or ever? If you believe in Him as Savior and Lord and you live your life for Him, you are His forever and forever. Pastor.

Good morning, Today is Tuesday September 1st, 2026.
Matthew 5: 13-14 tells us that as believers "we are the salt of the earth and you are the light of the world."
God never promised us a rose garden. He has been up front and honest with us and admitted that this world is not our friend and will never help us on our way to a relationship with God.
Nevertheless, as strange as it may seem, He went on to tell all godly servants in every generation that their influence would be nothing short of remarkable. They would be :the salt of the earth" and they would be "the light of the world." So far-reaching would be the influence of His servants in society, their presence would be as significant as salt on food and as light on darkness. Neither is loud or externally impressive, but both are essential. Without our influence this old world would soon begin to realize our absence. Even though it may not admit it, society needs both salt and light.
How are you being salt and light to the world around you? In your home, community, and workplace? Pastor

God supplies reinforcements.
In Psalm 140:7 we read, " O Sovereign Lord, the strong one who rescued me, you protected me on the day of battle."
If you determine to live according to biblical standards, be sure that your enemy is seeking to devour you. You will encounter the darts of the devil. Someone put it this way: Whoever desires to walk with God walks right into the crucible." All who choose godliness live in a crucible. The tests will come.
But all is not lost. Far from it. Our great hope and assurance is that the One in us is greater than the one who is in the world.
We do not face such a formidable enemy that we cannot fight him or stand firm and secure in our decision. Our Lord is the God of hope...His supply line never runs short. When His godly followers are in need, He is there to supply the necessary reinforcements.
As you do battle, God will provide for all of your needs.
Think about this: As you strive to live a holy life, where does the enemy attack the most? Are you asking the Lord to guard you in that specific area? We should be, for in Him is our strength and our shield. Our protector. Pastor.

Good morning and welcome to this site.
Today is Sunday August 30th 2026.
I know that Mother's Day is behind us but Mother's day should be every day. The roll of a mother is life changing to her children. Proverbs 23:25 Says "So give your father and mother joy! May she who gave you birth be happy."
There is no more influential or powerful role on earth than a mother's. Significant as political, military, education, or religious public figures may be, none can compare to the impact made by mothers. Their words are never fully forgotten, their touch leaves an indelible impression, and the memory of their presence lasts a lifetime.
Abraham Lincoln was right: "No one is poor who had a godly mother." Instead of camping on the negatives and emphasizing how far many mothers have drifted from this magnificent calling to shape the future of our country, I want to throw out a positive challenge. Ladies, this is your hour...your distinct opportunity to soar! A harmonious marital partnership and a solid, unselfish commitment to motherhood have never been of greater importance to you or, for that matter, to our nation. Talk about a challenge worth your effort! In spite of what you may have heard, this role is the most dignified, the most influential and the most rewarding in all the world. Do you take pride in your role as a wife and a mother? Do you grasp the magnitude of your influence on your family? How will you respond to this good news? Pastor.

Good morning and welcome to this site. Today is Saturday August 29th 2026.
Something for us to consider: God's ways defy explanation.
Look at Romans 11:33: " Oh, how great are God's riches and wisdom and knowledge! How unfathomable His ways!"
Maybe you have come to discover this in your own experiences.
You have tried to "trace out His path" and you have been unable to.
You have tried to fathom His "unfathomable" ways and you can't.
To use a modern day phrase, " It just doesn't compute".
You have begun to walk with God like never before, but in that path of obedience, you have come across situations that simply defy explanation-you have encountered situations that seem to be contradictory. That's how God works; accept it! It may not make sense to you for years, if ever. But that's okay. I have come to realize I wouldn't understand His thought process and planned procedures, even if He took the time to explain them to me.
It was a wonderful day for me when I finally realized I don't have to explain the will of God. That is not my task. My job is simply to obey it. What would happen if you decided to be okay not knowing what you weren't meant to know? What new freedoms would you experience? God's ways defy explanation so don't try, simply obey.
Pastor.

Good morning, today is Friday the 28th day of August 2026.
Ecclesiastes 3:22 "So I saw that there is nothing better for people than to be happy in their work. That is our lot in life.
We usually can do very little to change our lot in life. We can only change our reaction to our lot in life. We cannot change our past, for example. I don't care how brilliant we are, our past stands in concrete. We cannot erase it. But we can learn today to see our past from God's perspective, and use the disadvantages of yesterday in our life- today and forever.
You and I constantly bump into people submerged in self-pity. They are hopelessly lost in the swamp of life. And all they can tell you is how wrong this was, or how unfair she was, or how someone's promise was broken, or how that man walked away and left "me with the kids," or that guy broke up a partnership and "took me to the cleaners," and on and on and on.
But Solomon says, in effect, "I suggest to you that there's nothing better than that you look for an advantage and then dwell on it.
Make that your life's message. Who knows what impact it will have?" Do you find yourself focusing on past hurts and reliving them over and over? How can you redirect your thoughts instead?
Change your focus and you will change your life.
Pastor.

Good morning. Today is Thursday August 27th,2026.
Romans 14:13 is short and to the point but packed with truth.
"So let us stop condemning each other."
This is written to the church. Each one of us belongs to the same Lord. When we stop dictating, it is easier for others to mature as they follow the Lord's directing.
Freeing others means we never assume a position we're not qualified to fill. This, in one sentence, is enough to stop any person from judging another, We're not qualified. We lack full knowledge.
How often we have jumped to wrong conclusions, made judgmental statements, only to find out later how off base we were...then wished we had never said anything. What keeps us from being qualified to judge?
We do not know all of the facts.
We are unable to read motives.
We find it impossible to be totally objective.
We lack the big picture.
We live with blind spots.
We are prejudiced and have blurred perspective.
Most of all, we ourselves are imperfect and inconsistent.
There is only one who can fill the position a Righteous Judge, that is Jesus the Christ of God. He is perfect, and we are not.
Question: Do you find yourself withholding grace from others and forgetting the massive amount of grace you have yourself received? It's simply not our place. Pastor.

08/25/2026

Good morning and welcome to this site.
Today is Wednesday August 26th 2026.
Matthew 6:6 "Prayer to your Heavenly Father is private. Then your Father who sees everything, will reward you."
Prayer is your private devotion.
Prayer is never something we do to be seen. It loses its purpose if it becomes a platform to impress others. It is a private act of devotion, not a public demonstration of piety. According to Jesus, it belongs in the closet of our lives, an act done in secret.
Christ never saw a prayer as pleading or begging or hammering away at the throne of God. No, the Father knows His children, He knows what we need. Therefore, there is no reason to think that connecting with Him requires special words excessively repeated.
Prayer was never intended to be a verbal marathon for only the initiated no secret-code talk for the clergy or a public display of piety. None of that. Real prayer-the kind of prayer Jesus mentioned and modeled- is realistic, spontaneous, down to earth communication with the living Lord that results in a relief of personal anxiety and a calm assurance that our God is in full control of our circumstances. Do you struggle with the right words when you pray? Could it be that you are making prayer more difficult than God intended? It's time to change your approach and relax and simply talk to God from your own heart. Don't struggle looking for the big words. Keep your time with God simple. There is no need to impress Him or anyone else. Try it right now, He is listening. Pastor.
