Bone of My Bones
Genesis 2:23(NIV) “The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”” Adam was the first man, and our Heavenly Father gave him all dominion and authority within the earth. Adam was very intelligent, and named the species…

Jewels of Truth
One of my favorite passages of scripture is Jeremiah 17:7-8(NIV). It says, “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are…

Don’t Break His Heart
Many people live their lives from the outside in. They allow what is happening in their environments to dictate what is happening internally. For instance, if something happens at work and someone does something they don’t like, they allow this person’s actions to ruin their day. People often find themselves reacting negatively to situations and…

Put Your Words on A Diet

“Was That Really You, Lord?”
Our Heavenly Father never gets tired, but if He did, I believe “Was that really You, Lord?” is one of the questions His kids have been asking Him for a very long time. This is especially true after we’ve made a decision we assumed was on point with the Lord, but the results tell a…
