Many live independent lives, working hard in their own strength, but God wants you to rely on him. He doesn’t want you to do life in your own strength. He wants you to bother him with your problems. “Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is useless. It is useless for you…
“Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders work for nothing. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the men who watch over it stay awake for nothing. You rise up early, and go to bed late, and work hard for your food, all for nothing. For the Lord gives to His loved ones even while…

It is 1:53 am and I am wide awake. I usually sleep well, but I woke up with a profound thought: If I don’t intentionally make time for my family, and if I don’t intentionally make time to spend with God, the enemy will bring distractions and things in to wreck my relationships with my…
I feel led to share a word with you that is on my heart. It is not an easy word, but I do need to warn you that we are living in very dark days, and currently you need to carefully consider your ways and make wise choices. In Matthew 7:13-14, Jesus warned us, “You…
