Good Morning Friends,    Now you probably will not have an audible voice of God speaking to you telling you what assignment to carry out for the Kingdom. Still, we each have a purpose even without the thunder and blinding light. Christ's purpose was to die for our sins. And maybe yours too has … Continue reading Have Our Lives Confirmed Our Callings? →

    Good Morning Friends,     Today is Trinity Sunday and the devotion I offered is a celebration of the doctrine in the hope it might in time prompt collective action in us for those who are oppressed. For today is also a celebration that we were made in God's image designed to see and experience … Continue reading Are You Experiencing A Cultural Transformation In Your Relationship With The Trinity? →

    Good Morning Friends,     Well, another school year has ended. We have had graduation ceremonies and on Monday we celebrated Memorial Day. Interestingly Memorial Day is a holiday originally created out of the Civil War to honor those who gave their lives for their country. It is kind of sad that the Civil War … Continue reading Will Those Who Come After Us Find Christ’s Faith In Our Lives? →

   Good Morning Friends,     Surely today's scripture and Gospel readings have challenged our hearts. I am certain we all battle pride. Left unchecked, pride has devastating effects on our lives.

The topic is about whether we are venturing to create something that eventually will pay eternal dividends. So, How Are We Investing Our Lives?     Scripture: Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of … Continue reading How Are We Investing Our Lives? →

   Good Morning Friends,    At Moorings yesterday we had a Pentecost service followed by a treat of red popsicles. The sermon was on point, but I would not say it was a sign of revival here in the United States for mainline Churches. Certainly, it is the hope for the work of the Holy … Continue reading Are You Sharing Through Your Life The Communication Solution Of Christ’s Baptism Of Fire? →

   Good Morning Friends,      One thing I have learned in ministry to the poor is the power of sharing a friendship in Christ. Of course, it does not have to be limited in its scope to a population to experience the practical usefulness of Christ in our midst. We are to rejoice in the power of helping … Continue reading What Can We Learn From The First Pentecost And The Days Leading Up To It? →

Good Morning Friends,      Today we consider the Lord's Prayer and Jesus' question to Peter about his love. And as we think about this, we contemplate the reality of the temptations of those things we think we love and the challenge of doing the will of God. And though I would not say that God … Continue reading What, Or Better Yet, Who Do We Love? →

      Good Morning Friends,  There is a joy in sharing the Gospel and sometimes a bit of it is humorous. Think about Paul and his knack for starting riots. Not exactly a unifying action but still in the will of God if only to teach us a lesson that God can use a relatively … Continue reading Are We Energized With Holy Spirit Encouragement So We Might Spread The Cheer? →
