I needed to write a word to you because of what we’re seeing and experiencing in our nation right now. Believers are losing faith. They’re fearful, anxious, worried, and filled with despair. You may be shaking your head like the rest of us. In fact, you...

We just finished studying Revelation and the consensus was the same: “We believe that Jesus is coming soon!” The signs are lining up. The world is getting crazier by the day. And wickedness and deception has reached an all-time high. Jesus said these...

John C. Maxwell said, “One of the major keys to success is to keep moving forward on this journey, making the best of the detours and interruptions, turning adversity into advantage.” We should take notice of those who have done exactly that –...

Recently I’ve been challenged to go back to the early Church. The Church was on fire and moving with great speed spreading the gospel. It was growing so fast that the leaders couldn’t keep up with the demands. Acts 6 tells us that the leaders came up with...

When I was at the Colosseum in Rome, I heard gruesome stories of what some of the early believers went through. I couldn’t wrap my mind around those who were savagely beaten, fed to the animals, lit as human torches, and horribly persecuted for their faith. We...

Someone once said that I am a modern day prophet. I’m not sure about that, but every once in a while, a message is burning within my soul that I must speak. Today is one of those days. I realize that there have been countless messages on this upcoming election...

Down through the centuries, Thomas (one of Jesus’ disciples) has been referred to as Doubting Thomas. I’m not sure I would like that name. I’d much prefer Trusting Sheryl. Or Believing Sheryl. Let’s briefly take a look at this...

I’m out of my comfort zone with this topic. But, God is speaking to me. Here’s the dilemma. American Christians are obese. Now, hear me out. I’m not talking about physical obesity (there’s enough people out there doing that, and rightly so)....

There is no doubt that today’s believers often neglect important Scriptural principles. Jesus said that “[we] are His friends if we do what He commands” (John 15:14). I want to be called His friend. How about you? Then it’s important we strive...

I believe that you, like me, want to flourish—to prosper—in your Christian life. You want to run God’s race with the loud roar of a fierce lion. The Apostle Paul spent considerable time praying for the believers. In fact, some of his prayers are recorded in...

Christians often believe that if they are serving the local church—teaching a class, serving on a committee, singing on the praise team, leading a small group, shaking hands on Sunday morning, working with children, or participating on the prayer team—they are...

There is nothing greater in God’s eyes than a believer whose faith is real, authentic. Hence, a genuine faith! The Apostle Paul spent considerable time writing to congregations full of impostors and hypocrites. Paul said to Timothy: “I have been reminded of your...
