Your World View influences how you walk out life… it will drive your value system. My World View starts with a God who is there…. This God created heaven and earth, as well as each of us. He is the one true God. Without exception, we are all ultimately accountable to Him, whether we believe … Continue reading World View

I think of Salvation as a spiritual transaction. Positionally we are placed “in Christ.” Old things have passed away, all things have become new. There is an exchange.

When we are saved, we become different.

Lord Jesus... Thank you for this new season and mantle. Thank you that you go with me and you go before me. Thank you that you have already seen where I am going, and know what I will encounter. Thank you for preparing a provision and a blessing for me there. As a result, I … Continue reading A Prayer for a New Season…
