As a professing Christian, if you don’t already know, people who are unsaved and even saved for that matter, are watching your walk with Christ. Yep! It’s true. I know…the pressure. But the reality is that they want to know, “Are you the real deal?” and “Are you someone that I can follow to lead me to Christ?” And for others’ who have been saved for quite some time but are interested in spiritual growth, they may be watching your obedience, endurance, perseverance, how [...]

    Do you have a regular devotion time? You know, a moment when you set aside time to spend with God alone in His word?  The reason I’m asking is because, I believe that this is a very important component to incorporate in your Christian life. We all need it. Actually, I have to have it! I love getting up in the morning and enjoying a nice hot cup of French Vanilla coffee (after boot camp) with my journal, Bible, a few books, and [...]

Reading this, I would guess you’re thinking one or the other:  “I don’t have idols” or “Hmm, I admit that I do have idols.”  Either way, we’re going to talk about this very important commandment, because I believe this is very serious to God. But before we get started, you need to know, what are idols, exactly? Simply stated, it’s anything that we put before God and worship, whether an object or excessive devotion/admiration. Exodus 20:3-4 says, “Do not worship any other gods besides me. [...]

I was watching one of the Christian networks recently and the preacher was talking about “hell.” I was so excited that someone on TV was finally not shying away from the topic. However, just when I was waiting on him to go a little deeper about the matter as it relates to those who are already Christians, he stopped solid on, “Hell was never meant for us, but for Satan and his angels.” (Matthew 25:41) Now although this is true…very true actually, he didn’t go [...]

  Have you ever told someone that you were going to do something and didn’t do it? For instance, call them, go somewhere with them, buy them something, etc. Did you ever follow through on it or did you keep them waiting in suspense? Well, if you haven’t done what you said you would do, then I know this might be a hard pill to swallow, but that would be considered, “Not keeping your word.” And “yes,” it would be a lie. Ouch! I know that [...]

There are times in our lives when we know that something in us is just not right. We have this yucky feeling stirring on the inside, yet we can’t quite put our finger on the trigger for what’s really going on. And that my sister, is when it might be time for you to do what I call… a heart-check. A heart-check is when you personally take the time to go before God and examine yourself to see whether you’re really in the faith (2 [...]

But are they really GOOD? Okay, I know that many people, including Christians have been talking about and weighing in on the new ABC television series, called “GCB” (which on national television could only be represented as “Good Christian Belles,” because its original name was derived from the book by Kim Gatlin as “Good Christian Bit….”   In a nutshell, the series appears that they are making a mockery of the church…but are they really? Think about it, the world wrote this based on their [...]

God has impressed upon my heart to write about this fairly new workout that has captured the attention of more than 20,000 instructors in 35 countries (according to Wikipedia), which has thousands of men, women, and including children signing up everywhere for the classes. And now it’s in the church. I did a little homework on it (and you can too). Anyone who knows me is aware that my husband is a strength and conditioning coach. So I know my fair share about genuine exercise [...]
