Thankful For God’s Mercy I feel sad today Jesus. You gave us a beautiful world and life, and we let our human condition run amuck. We sinful, greedy, power hungry human beings have aligned ourselves with the wiles of the devil, and in our personal lusts for all things us, we foolish humans have been […]
Surrender your anxiety. Be still and realize that I am God. I am God above all the nations, and I am exalted throughout the whole earth. Here he stands! The Commander! The mighty Lord of Angel Armies is on our side! The God of Jacob fights for us! Pause in his presence. Psalms 46:10-11 Be […]
Trust the Lord with all your heart. Don’t depend on your own understanding. Remember the Lord in everything you do. And he will give you success. Don’t depend on your own wisdom.

Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]. James […]
Challenged By Cultural Chaos? I am sure, without a doubt that there are many of us who feel very challenged right now. Our national cultures are all in a state of flux and things we have known our whole lives as being wrong are lifted up as being right, there is only justice for those […]
Lord, you are my God. I honor you and praise you. You have done amazing things. You have always done what you said you would. You have done what you planned long ago. You have made the city a pile of rocks. You have destroyed her walls. The city our enemies built with strong walls […]
“Jesus is the vine, and we are his branches. We could say Jesus stands at the head of our family tree. Our beauty, wisdom, and divine nature have been passed down to us from him. All of heaven looks at us and sees the offspring of glory. Is this what we see when we look […]
“Easter has come, passed by on the calendar but has not gone out of my heart and never will. Every day is Easter as I bow down to the Risen Savior in humble awe of what He has done for me. What I love as I reflect on Easter, is of course, first and foremost that […]
The “Exclusivity” Of Our Comfort Zone Sometimes we don’t really realize the Christ we have in us, until we have drifted from Him, because we have lived life so exclusively, in our comfort zone. It is hurtful when we realize we may have lost the opportunity to create a “living legacy”, because our lives were […]
Life Happens Sweet Missionaries, on mission with Jesus, joy happens, and disappointment happens. They both weave their way through our on-mission life into the situations we encounter with, our world, different cultures, unique people and the choices that human beings make with their free will. We share the most transformational, miraculous message this world will […]
Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the voice of his servant? Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God. Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who equip yourselves with burning torches! Walk by the light of your fire, […]
Success Is A Slippery Slope In our human condition, we get obsessed with so many things, trying to “feel” good enough, be accomplished and successful. When, truly, chasing our feelings, is not a good choice, only if you like dead ends! Yes, and a second truly is this fact, that our only success, comes from […]
Chase After God It is always a good day to chase after God. God is always on the move, continually being for us and doing, active things for our good. A good challenge for us is to stay in followship of God, letting Him lead us. A Great God adventure kind of day is when […]
Matthew 28: 5-10 Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying. And now, go quickly and tell his disciples […]
At The Bridegroom’s Café today, we are highlighting this song in our worship spotlight, because God has anointed it to speak to us that the truth be told, we are not fine, without Him, we are not fine and we need to repent of our dependence on flesh, on finite that fails us and return […]
