Waiting for Your Season

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to travel to Miami, Florida, for business. The day before my trip to Miami, I had to drive from Chicago back to Tulsa. By the time I got home, I was worn out from that trip. I had to turn around and fly out early in the morning. I was ill-prepared for the journey, and I ended up missing my flight. The airline placed me on a later flight that evening, but I had…

Romans 11: 25 (NLT)

 I want you to understand this mystery, dear brothers, and sisters so that you will not feel proud of yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ.

American Christians can often think that we are better than others because of our position in Christ. In America, we have built large churches…

Romans 10: 11-13 (NLT)

As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.” Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They have the same Lord, who gives generously to all who call on him. For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Trust in any relationship is essential. Trust is the lifeline of relationships in my opinion. God establishes this…

By reading the book of Romans, it made me appreciate the prophets and their…

One of the most significant revelations I have received in my life was the fact that God himself lives on the inside of me. His presence is always with me, and it gives me strength and…

Romans 7:4 (NIV)

So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.

As a child of God, I am dead to the fact that I am justified by my actions. I am not justified by my works but by faith in Jesus Christ. I am now a member of the body of Christ. I am an…

Romans 5:17 (New Living Translation)

For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.

Many times I have thought why did Adam cause the whole world to be born into sin? I thought it was not fair to me since I…
