7/25/10 – The Father’s Love
Have you ever been in a setting where you have been in the midst of a large group of people such as the State Fair or at a ball game in a large stadium? Have you considered, in those moments, how it can possibly be that God knows each and every one of those present? It’s mind-boggling to think that there are billions of people in this world and yet according to God’s word, He knows everything there is to know about every one of us. God does not see us as just a number in a massive crowd. He sees and loves us as individuals; separate and precious to Him. May that truth cause us to place our hope and trust in Him, knowing that He careth for us in a greater way than we can ever imagine.

7/18/10 – Showing God’s Love Through Simple Acts of Kindness
Many times it is the simplest acts of kindness that have the most lasting effects upon us and others. The simplest of our acts towards others can have impacts far beyond our wildest dreams or imaginations. These simple acts of kindness demonstrate to the world around us not who we are, but who Jesus is, through us. Kindness can change our world one person at a time, one act at a time. Just as our heavenly father first loved us and demonstrated kindness and compassion upon us, may we, too, show that love to others in simple and powerful acts of kindness.

7/4/10 – God Bless America
The reason America is such a great country and is so blessed is because since it’s foundation, since it’s beginning, it has been a land that has recognized God. Since it’s inception, we have been a country and a people who have claimed and proclaimed “In God We Trust”. No matter how hard many may try to deny it or cover it up, this country was founded upon Biblical principles that honor God.
No matter how prosperous or powerful we have become, we must never forget that God is the giver and sustainer of our lives and the blessings we enjoy. We as a people and as a country must continue to trust and acknowledge Him and Him alone. May we recognize – any nation that no longer depends on God and looks to Him for guidance, for wisdom, for protection, and for provision will not endure and be successful. If we wish to see the generations to come be blessed by God, we must, then, see to it that God is blessed. If America ever fails, it will be because of our failure to honor Him as the sovereign authority and Lord over this great land.

06/27/10 – Our God of Hope
When you listen to the current news on any given day, you can’t help but wonder and ask yourself the question, in your physical mind and thinking, “Is there any hope for the future?” We see and face many challenges as a nation, as a world, and as individuals. Many are struggling with a host of issues: financial problems, health issues, marriages, children, jobs – the list is endless. Many people in our world are feeling hopeless and lost in a crazy cycle of life.
The fact is this, we need hope in our lives. When enduring life’s most difficult times, we need to believe that a positive outcome is possible. Hope is what points to the light at the end of the tunnel. Hope gives us fresh energy when we feel like quitting. When life brings confusion and blurs our vision, hope clears the way. When we fear the worst, hope reminds us that God is still in control. Jesus is our hope for today and tomorrow. Because of Him and what He did for mankind, we need not live in despair. He knows every trial and struggle we will ever face. He knows what measure of His grace and mercy we will need. He promises to go with us and help us in all things. Because of His resurrection power, we can have hope for today and all eternity.
