If I asked you to, you could probably list all (or almost all) of the Ten Commandments. Just for fun, you might want to grab a pen and see if you can list them all this very minute…or maybe not right now, right? We Christians feel really good about ourselves when we can mention that we are abiding by those Ten Commandments. However, we forget to stop and consider that the Ten Commandments in which God gave to Moses are not all the commandments that he has given to us. How many times has he asked us to go, to wait, to listen, to be still, to stop, to turn…

You Got The Next Minute!
Ugh!!! Lord, I’ve failed again! It’s just January 4th and I’ve already broken my diet (What? I got really, really hungry!), quit exercising (Yah, you know I just don’t have the energy that I used to.), failed to pray daily, (I fell asleep a few times before I remembered!), and I’ve not been faithful to read my Bible daily. (Again, I fell asleep before I remembered.) If this sounds like you, don’t let Satan trick you into thinking the whole year is lost! You don’t have to wait until January 2022 to make a fresh start! Perhaps you had a strong desire to do what is right when you made…
