I Don’t Understand

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding Proverbs 3:5 but in all thy ways acknowledge him and he will direct thy path Proverbs 3:6. Many times, through my walk with the Lord I have said to Him, I do not understand why this is happening. Strong’s definitions...

Restoration of God

Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, is an area both rich and diverse in culture. One of the beautiful things about Philadelphia is the many sites it has to offer. At times, it is something I often have taken for granted being from the city itself. On occasion, I have taken a stroll into Center...

Soak In

A certain man was sitting in service on a Sunday morning and noticed up on the platform (high place, altar) was an arrangement of flowers which was once a delight to look at and a blessing to the platform. As he stared at the flowers, he noticed that they were almost entirely dried out and...

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us…” Hebrews 12:1  Mondays in our neighborhood is trash day. At 5 AM the big trucks start coming for the junk...

Before the Rain

For the LORD God had not caused it to rain… but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground. (Genesis 2:5-6) Rain was never an issue before. But with our family’s recent move to Lynchburg (better known to the locals as “Drenchburg”), I’m facing a new dilemma. We no...

Walking in Humility

Have you ever encountered a conflict with someone? I bet you’re thinking that’s a silly and loaded question! Of course you have. We all have, probably countless times over the course of our lives in various shapes and forms. I bet you have a specific recent example that can’t escape your mind. That person that just drives you crazy...

Old Habits/New Tool Box

Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23. I woke up anxious and angry. Usually this is not a problem, because the Lord has given me tools that work perfectly to combat these times. But they do not work...

A Living Sacrifice

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.-Romans 12:1 Romans 12:1 states to present your bodies a living sacrifice. A sacrifice is a place, an act or a victim. To present is to exhibit or yield. We are...

The Cost

The other day, Dana came downstairs and asked, “Frank, why is every kid in this house crying?” It is probably not my best parenting lesson, but we will return to that; let’s start by saying Joshua Gary. I probably do not need to go further than that but let me explain. I love how God...

Let us make Bricks

For us who accept  the Biblical stories as the accounts and recordings of the Intervention of G-d in human history and not mere myths, the account of the Tower of Babel lends great insight into what is taking place today in modern history. Particularly, in regards to the social and political evolution we are witnessing....
