Luke 6:45 tells us that our hearts hold our treasure. Either that treasure is good so that the things we say and the way we act are good, or that treasure is evil, and our words and actions are affected by that as well. But where does this treasure come from? And what are we… Continue reading Where Do We Get The Abundance of the Heart?
Matthew 5:5 says that the meek will inherit the earth. Jesus even calls Himself “meek” in Matthew 11:29. But what does the word mean? And why is this a quality that would define those who are counted worthy to receive life in the ages to come? I believe that God showed me an analogy through… Continue reading The Meek Will Inherit the Earth: An Analogy
Before last week, I would have never thought I would actually come down with the Coronavirus. After all, I live a devout Christian life devoid of the kinds of things that open doors for the enemy. I pray prayers of protection every day over my family and myself, and I stand on Psalm 91:10. That's… Continue reading Under the Shadow of the Almighty: An Analogy

But sometimes God uses circumstances, like… Continue reading 3 Last Days Object Lessons From Shopping

My friend and his wife have a pretty unique hobby: dumpster diving. They have certain stores’ schedules down pat. Every week they dive for things the employees put in the bins and video it all for YouTube. See, there are laws put in place to keep the public safe. The laws say when a store… Continue reading Hebrew Roots Movement: An Analogy of Priorities
Picture taken at Alley Cats. There were screens above, so lanes reflected the lights there. If you have ever gone bowling with a child, chances are, you know about bumper bowling.

Focus during a crisis is imperative. If you have done any flying, you know that before the airplane even takes off, flight attendants spend several minutes discussing safety protocols.
