Prayer is one of the ways we stay connected with God. There are so many things we can pray for, and so many ways we can pray. God loves to hear from His children, to know we are thinking of him. 1 Timothy 2:1-2 tells us that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people, for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. But …

Showing the Kindness of God How many of you have missed opportunities to pray with others? Maybe you’ve had a sick friend in the hospital and you were so focused on them, you didn’t pray with the other stranger sitting in the waiting room. That happened to me the other day. …
I don’t know about you, but I’m getting tired of the political rhetoric in this country. It’s bad enough those who didn’t vote for President Trump want him to fail, but when CNN started speculating on what would occur if he were assassinated at the inauguration, that it got to be too much. I am amazed at not just the whining, but the outright hatred that has spewed from people, especially those who call themselves …
Those who have lived in Jacksonville for more than 20 years know about the story of Kamiyah Mobley, a newborn taken from a local hospital. For 18 years, there were reminders of her kidnapping, but no solution. Until this week. Thankfully she is alive and healthy. She was discovered in North Carolina living under a name the kidnapper gave her as a baby. I’m sure some of you have heard the story. You’ve probably gripped …
A Mother’s Broken Heart We were still reeling with the tragic loss of Carrie Fisher when her mother, Debbie Reynolds, passed away. That is the depth of a mother’s pain when she loses a child. Some of you know that pain. I pray my daughters and I never have to feel it. Imagine how Mary felt when she had to watch her son be put to death. Jesus realized Mary’s pain when He looked down …
I am a firm believer in prayer. I think God hears us and listens to our cries. I also believe that when hundreds of people pray for the same thing, true change will come, as long as it is God’s will and not ours. Matthew 18:20 states, For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them. This past week, I received a post on Facebook regarding praying for this country. …
Some of you have noticed that I write a lot about praying. I’m a firm believer in prayer. I believe prayer is a great reminder that we’re not alone. It lets us know there is someone else who is in charge that we can turn to. Philippians 4:6-7 states, Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, …
You hear it all the time. You see the posts on social media. We even say it ourselves. “I’ll pray for you.” Then we walk away and forget, or we add them to our list for prayer at the end of the day. I was in the hallway of my church one Sunday when one of my ministers and a friend was telling us about a medical procedure she had coming up the next week. …
This country is going to sin faster than you can blink an eye. There’s nudity all over the place, violence and rioting, and children being raised without Christian, parental authority. Individuals turn to the police for help and the government for a solution. Why is it we don’t turn to the one who can actually fix things? God. Even Jesus prayed to His Father in Luke 6:12. One of those days Jesus went out to …
How easy is it for you to hate? I’m sure most of us think of ourselves as not the “hating” kind. Okay, I’ll give you that one. But how easy is it for you to want revenge? Isn’t that also a form of hate? Islamic state (ISIS) is the extreme Muslim terrorist group that beheaded a reporter this past week. First off, let me point out how little regard I have for a bunch of …
