YOUR VALENTINE - YOUR SPOUSE - FOREVER! “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.” Matthew 19:4-6 God created marriage. God hates divorce. Do not allow the world’s standards, which have come into our churches, to stop you from doing what God’s Word teaches His church. Never doubt the power of God that He is able to breathe new life and a more powerful love into your resurrected and restored marriage. How do I know? God is love. I pray that you will not...

I delight greatly in the Lord; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.

If you love someone, let them know. It’s easy to take our feelings for granted and to assume that the people we care about know how we feel about them. But while those we love are often quite cognizant of our feelings, saying “I love you” is a gift we should give to our loved ones whenever we can. Letting people know you love them is an important part of nurturing any kind of loving relationship. Few people tire of being told they are loved, and saying “I love you” can make a world of difference in someone’s life, take a relationship to a new level, or reaffirm and strengthen a steady bond. Everyone needs to hear the words “I love you.” Three simple words – I - Love - You. When you declare your love for someone you admit to them that...

I have had a lot going on lately, working and working on my books, new ones in progress and issues at home. Sometimes it seems to come so fast. Not looking at the instructions, the Bible is not just for the unbeliever. We can get so busy that we get upset, frustrated and tired instead of going to the Lord for peace and inspiration to help us prioritize our day. When we leave Him out, frustration happens because HE is Peace. (John 14:27) “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. The story below happens in our life when we do not search out answers from the Lord. He wants to help us in every part of our life; He even numbers the very...

DO YOU LOVE YOUR ENEMIES? “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.†Matthew 5:43-44 How are you doing with loving your enemies? Who do you consider right now an enemy in your life? Do you love your prodigal spouse in spite of their behaviors, attitudes, actions and words? Have you asked the Lord to put His agape love in your heart for the other person? The Lord will give you His love as He died for all sinners and wants that other person to be saved also. Never forget that the other person is not the enemy. You may be new, so let me share a scripture that you will want to...

Many people think that by simply attending a Sunday Church service they’ll grow in Christ. I’m telling you, it’s good to go to Church every Sunday; my whole family goes to Church regularly, but it is definitely not enough. Just as being in a garage doesn’t make you a car, so being in a Church doesn’t make you a true Christian. You, my brethren, have to seek God’s face on a regular basis. And you can’t just rely on someone’s preaching to tell you everything that you need to know about God. What’s lacking in many Christians is a simple system. What do I mean by a system? A system is a set of habits that they need to develop to have that level of faith that can move mountains. “###, are you just making this all up?” you...

To thine own self be true! When you are honest with yourself, you will be honest with others. When you love yourself you will genuinely love others, you will help others as well as yourself. Be authentic with yourself and it will be easy to be authentic with others and they will love you back, authentically. When you totally love yourself and are happy with your life, then you can return that affection with others. Create stability in your life before you can share it with the world. Look to yourself for happiness, love and laughter. No one else can give that to you but you. Whatever it is that you are looking for, whether it is for more love, money, self-confidence or any other desire, when you commit to loving yourself first, there is...
