    When you focus on the problem, instead of focusing on the problem solver, when you let your mountain get in your line of vision, thats when your faith becomes little or small, thats when it becomes only about your ability, instead of Gods Amazing Ability!

    Whats The Name Of Your Mountain? Mark 11:22-24 NKJ 22. So Jesus answered and said to them, Have faith in God. 23. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, Be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, ...read more

    May I remind all of us that we take life head on by faith before anything else - even when life looks seemingly unsteady, surely unpredictable, seriously unbearable and securely unbeatable!

    Let me ask, how many of us would love to ask God – “God give me just a glimpse of the battles I will face this year or for the rest of my life?” Psalm 39:4 “Show me, O Lord, my life’s end.” How many of have said at one time, “God, just let me get everything in order with my life and then I’ll ...read more

    Living victoriously has much in common with David’s victory over Goliath. The shepherd didn’t act in faith that hadn’t already been tested; he acted according to his consistent experience with God.

    When I was young, I was a huge fan of the Walt Disney version of Zorro.
