Because I say so
“Because I say so.” This is a historic and traditional statement. Historic because it seems to have been around for thousands of years and traditional, because I heard my grandparents say it, my parents said it to me, as parents, we’ve said it to our kids, and they’ve said it to their kids. It is…
Love one another
One of the most powerful aspects of Christ Jesus is that He knows every person infinitely better than that person knows themselves. There are a multitude of examples where Christ Jesus met folks on the street, in the square, in the synagogue, at a well and more. Christ Jesus spoke to them at the core…
Full court press
Full court press Although an effective tactic in the game of basketball where all players defensively play extremely close to their opponents, this can be simply defined as an all-out effort or offensive. One thing to remember each and every day and every moment of each day is that we are at war. We are…
Stand fast & stand firm
Stand fast and stand firm While serving our country, the term stand fast was used frequently. This means to keep a firm, fixed, or settled position.

This house is filthy!
Happy 2025! This house is filthy! Someone very close to me uses this term, and sometimes it doesn’t always apply because filth can certainly be interpreted differently. The meaning behind this usage refers to clutter, disorganization, and general messiness. Our homes are the stage on which we host gatherings of friends and family. When we…
Give and Forgive
Give and forgive What examples in your life reveal this godly behavior? Where have you been intentional and deliberate to behave in such a way? Is it a child of yours, a parent, a brother or sister, or perhaps your spouse, fiancé or anyone in which you have a relationship. Have you given or forgiven…
Good Will
Good Will These two words put together speak of kind benevolence, favor, and a willing effort. It can be either a response to or an initiated act. However, separating these two words is when a reward can be expected. Good will come. In scripture, these two words are used hundreds of times because being good,…
