Good Morning “BOLD Followers of Christ.”  Today we are in 2 Chronicles 2.  God promised to give Solomon wisdom, but he never promised to make him BOLD.  Maybe when it comes to the God of all creation, who holds it all in His hands, who gives us each breath we take and can take it away as well… maybe being BOLD for Him is wise.  What do you think?  BOLDNESS is inspiring.  When someone stands strong...  Read More

Good Morning “One Wish Ponderers.”  Today we are in 2 Chronicles 1.  Picture this scene… place yourself in Solomon’s shoes.  You are the one to succeed your father, the one who killed the giant with a stone, the one who was called “a man after Gods own heart” among others things - tough act to follow.

Good Morning “Blue Print Readers.”  Today we are in 1 Chronicles 26.  Can you read blueprints?  It’s a question I get asked sometimes as a builder.  My answer typically is something like, “Yes, pretty much anyone can with just a little vocabulary and symbol lesson.”  Once you understand a few terms, then it’s just applying what you already know to what you’re looking at, and BAMM - you get it!  Sa...  Read More

Good Morning “Getters”. Today we are in 1 Chronicles 22.David, the man after Gods own heart “Got it”… well, kinda.  He clearly understood, being in check with God was the way to go.  Albeit part of that lesson was learned the hard way.  Check out his words to his son Solomon as he nears his death.  “Now devote your heart and soul to seeking the Lord your God…”  1 Chronicles‬ ‭22‬:‭19‬ ‭NIV‬‬He goe...  Read More
