Walking with God, Digesting Scripture and Pointing Others to Grow Deeper in their Faith
Yes, Jesus is the bread of life. What’s this mean? How can someone never hunger and thirst again? These are basic needs for every human. God is concerned for our physical needs but this verse goes much deeper than that. As a teen I reached out to God and experienced transformation immediately. I stopped craving... Continue Reading →
This is a powerful verse and a reminder to us the the love of God in us is how others can find God. People see and know if we love God or not by the love we show others. Do you love the person who disagrees with you? God calls us to love all people,... Continue Reading →
Peter is my favorite disciple of Jesus. He denied knowing Jesus, three times and the rooster crowed. You can read about that in Matthew 26 and Luke 22. He was ashamed and wept.

Justice will happen but it won’t happen in our earthly life. Some things we will see while... Continue Reading →
This is the first verse I learned as a child. I thought that merely acknowledging God was enough. Ive learned since that our English language doesn’t do this verse justice. The verb “believe” in Greek means far more than acknowledgment here. This kind of belief is the kind that affects your lifestyle. It requires action.... Continue Reading →
