The Art of Betrayal

There is a lot about the betrayal of Jesus that we should learn from in our walk with Jesus to help prevent us from stumbling. Luke 22:3-6 gives us insight into the process of the betrayal. Verse 3 tells us, “And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, belonging to the number of the […]

You Must be Mistaken

“Didn’t I see you going into that church?” You stare at him and shake your head, “No!” But he doesn’t relent. “But I’m sure I saw you hanging out with those Christians the other day.” You stare at him with a stern face. “It wasn’t me!” He’s still not convinced. You can tell by his […]

Wake Up Sleepyhead

You’ve had a good meal with friends, singing songs and enjoying each other’s company. It was a joyous moment. Life is good. Now all you want to do is sleep. Your eyelids are heavy, your body tired, yet something is telling you not to sleep. You try to resist the urge to close your eyes, […]

Friday Faith

Prayer Journey — Calming Raging Waters

Waters rage, grasping at my feet. The current of the rip tide tries to pull me under. I flee from the torrent, along a dusty, dry path. I thirst, but there is no water to sooth my parched mouth. I cry out to you for relief dear Lord Jesus. You tell me to not want. […]
