I volunteer in church for a group called, “Treehouse,” and this is our child’s ministry.  Recently, after church, we had training.  It was a nice time to talk to others who are a part of the children’s ministry who I usually don’t get to spend time talking to.  Then the question asked of us toContinue reading “Everyone Worships Differently:”

In church, we are going over the book of Romans.  We are in the first couple of chapters, which is a bit harsher side of Paul.  He is being very honest about the state the country of Rome is in, and the state is not the best. They are not following after Jesus as wellContinue reading “The Self-Righteous Sinner:”

Today’s child ministry’s story was the story of the men who were gifted three talents.  This is a parable that comes from Matthew 25:14-30.  This story was about a master who was going on a trip.  However, before he left he gathered three of his servants.  He gave each one of these servants some “talents.” Continue reading “Using One’s Talents:”

I have always believed, like many Christians that one needs to be called in order to serve as a missionary.  There needs to be a special moment, and a special person who will fulfill a calling for mission work or fulfill a ministry.  Sure, I think most people have little callings.  Help in the church,Continue reading “The Holy Spirit is more Powerful than we could ever Imagine:”

“Goliath Must Fall,” by Louie Giglio is a very good reminder to face all of our fears. This book describes all the different giants we as people often develop.  There are things in my life and everyone else’s lives that go from being a little problem to a really big addiction or harmful area inContinue reading “Our Giants:”

Some of you reading may know my favorite holiday is Valentine’s Day.  I love it! I start celebrating and decorating and preparing for Valentine’s Day weeks beforehand.  My office is completely decorated in handmade hearts and positive notes.  I work making valentines and the presents I can give to others to hopefully make them feelContinue reading “Make Sure to Spread the Love:”

Josiah was a very good king of Judah.  He was considered to be one of the best kings to come out of Judah.  He cared a lot about God and he cared a lot about being a good king to the people in his kingdom.  He is very much an encouragement considering a majority ofContinue reading “Hearing the Word and Preaching it:”

I live in Iowa, and I have lived here my entire life.  Because of this, I have definitely been used to the moments of extreme cold weather.  I am talking, of course, of days sub zero degrees with the windchill even lower.  This is so cold, a person shouldn’t have their exposed skin out forContinue reading “A Son Deficiency:”

A few weeks ago, I recapped new lessons I learned through the kings of Rehoboam and Jeroboam.  However, I am going to recap one more big life lesson I have learned from this story.  Rehoboam was a king easily influenced for the worse.  He was Solomon’s son, and he was chosen to be king overContinue reading “Make Sure to Surround Yourself with Advisors:”

I was recently doing a Bible Devotional study over 1 and 2 Kings by Lysa Terkeurst.  I have already learned a lot, and I appreciate diving into two books of the Bible I often try to avoid.  I never had much interest hearing all about these kings and them fighting other countries and making mistakes. Continue reading “Always Check Your Motivations:”
