My Morning Thought

Relationships matter and therefore require work. Be willing to put in the work. Jesus gave the ultimate example. He laid down His life.

Is there something you’ve been thinking about doing? Has God placed something on your heart? Okay, when are you going to get going? Call and leave me a message, and let me know what God is calling you to. (501) 291-3111‬

Today, my son would be celebrating his 43rd birthday. Although he is not physically here with me, he lives in my heart and in our many precious moments. I encourage you to love deeply and make sweet memories out of every precious moment. Know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and death is only “until we meet again.” Call and leave me a message, and share a precious memory you made with a loved one. (...

We don’t know the day or the hour when God will call us home. Let’s live each moment as wise and not as unwise. Let’s make each moment count. Call and leave me a message, letting me know how you are making every moment count. (501) 291-3111‬

I believe whether you are an introvert or extrovert, you need some time to “steal away.” You need some time for God to restore your soul. But, as an introvert, I am not myself when I pour out and pour out and don’t stop to be poured into. And for me, I am filled in the quiet spaces, in the times when I can sit and hear God speak to me. When I can feel Him dance over me, I am filled. Complimentary...

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by God’s love? Do you ever feel like you are so undeserving and yet He lavishes us with His love?  What do you do about it? Do you just stand amazed and grateful? Or do you love Him with all your heart?  And what does that mean; to love the Lord with all your heart? Do you share Him with others? Do you spend intentional time in His word? In prayer to Him? Serving other...

Trust begins with a decision. It is reinforced with experience that is accomplished via application. Do you trust God? What does that look like in your life? Do I feel like I have the world’s savior? Yes, there are things God will choose to do through me, but I must be sure I’m not choosing myself. Call and let me know what does it look like in your life, for you to trust God. (501) 291-3111‬

You are not here by chance. You are fearfully and wonderfully made.

In the midst of our pain, let's not forget to be thankful.

Stop right now and set a timer for 60 minutes. Now during the next 60 minutes, how many times did you complain? We are to do everything with complaining. How's it going? Call and let me know how you make time for Jesus. (501) 291-3111‬

The reality is we make time for whatever we deem important to us. Is Jesus important to you? Do you make time for Him? What does that look like? What difference does it make in your life? If you are not currently making time for Jesus. Give it a try. For the next seven days, intentionally make time for Him in prayer and devotion to His word. Let me know what that was like. Now I mean really seek t...

It is attributed to Patrick Henry as he spoke of the rights of the colonies in March 1775, “Give me liberty or give me death.” It became the battle cry of the revolution. They were willing to die rather than be under the thumb of the king. They believed not being free was not living, so if they were not going to live, they’d rather die. So, they would choose liberty over death, even if they had to...

Life can be hard. There are a lot of things we will see and experience that we won’t understand. There will be things that will happen in our lives that should never have happened. We may be called to do some things we don’t believe we can do. We will experience what feels like a “fail.” But don’t let what happens in a moment rob you of an everlasting lifetime. Allow your struggles and trials to m...

We all can choose to conduct ourselves a certain way when we are in public. And that works just fine when there is nothing pressing against us. But what happens when we are squeezed? What comes out? Can God trust you when squeezed? Will you still display Christ? Is Christ deep inside or just skin deep? Is the Holy Spirit at home inside of you or does He still need to behave as a visitor? Don’t for...

Do you believe that your relationship with Christ is worth it? By any means necessary? What other things or people in your life hold a higher position than Christ? Are you willing to let go of it or them? Are you willing to allow God to be first place in your life? In all aspects of your life?  Are you willing to allow Him to come in and take first place? By any means necessary? Pray the dangerous...

Many times it’s easier to see the shortcomings in others, while we can totally miss our own. The reason is, we don’t set out to do wrong with the wrong thought in mind. You see, even if we set out to do that which is not right, we’ve already rationalized it in our minds. Now the definition of rationalization is “the act of attempting to explain or justify (one's own or another's behavior o...

What would your answer be if God came to you and asked what you would have Him give you? Money? Long life? Revenge on your enemies? Status? When God came to Solomon, first, he recognized that where he was right now, king, was all because of God. He understood his shortcomings in that position, just a child. He understood the importance of his job, king of God’s people. So he asked for wisdom to ad...

I want you to take a minute and think about conversations with friends. Do you have a person in your life that you are hesitant to answer their call? You know they are going to ask you for something. They never just call to talk. They always call because they need something. Or maybe you hesitate because you don’t have the time. You know they are going to talk forever and you won’t even get a word...

Have you ever done something special for someone? I mean really went out of your way because you wanted them to know how much you loved them and they didn’t appreciate it all. Were you sad? Broken-hearted? God sent His Son into the world to offer salvation, and many choose not to accept the free gift that was given at such a great price, and it breaks my heart. I know God’s heart is broken.

Head knowledge is not enough. You have to believe. It all starts there. So, what do you really believe? Call me and let me know how you move from head knowledge to heart living. (501) 291-3111‬

It is not your business to force Christ, but it is your business to share Christ. You for God’s plan to reach the world. Don’t forget to check out my latest podcast. And call me and let me know what practical ways you are sharing Christ. (501) 291-3111‬

Sometimes the world takes its best shot at you. While there are times when you can be your own worst enemy, but you must know the truth and live it. And the truth is, with God on your side you’ve got nothing to worry about.

Do you have “friends” that you don’t know and have no interest in knowing? Are you a friend of God? Do you want to know Him?  Do you spend intentional time with Him? Call me and tell me about it. ‪(501) 291-3111‬.

One warning should be enough, but it rarely is. Thank God for continued warnings. What have you been warned about that you continue to do? Call me and tell me about it. ‪(501) 291-3111‬. 

Love borne from fear is not love. It is just fear. Jesus said if you love me, you will obey me. So we are obedient because we love the Lord, not because we fear Him. How’s love going? Call me and tell me about it. ‪(501) 291-3111‬.
