Walk With Darrell

1 Thessalonians 5:18 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Do we have a tendency not to thank God for the good things He has given us? In our hectic lives, it is easy for us to not make time to give God thanks for all He has done. If we look at our lives and start counting our blessings, we are amazed at how we are so blessed. Erwin Lutzer said, “A Christian who walks by faith accepts all circumstances from God. He thanks God whe

How to Have a Relationship with Christ What is the way for us to have a relationship with God? Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me”. John 14:6 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life.

He is a man willing to stand alone. It did not matter that the leadership of Babylon insisted on a particular diet. He knew he was right a

When we get angry, we have probably said some things that we later regret saying. If we are honest, we all have probably done that at one time or another (my hand is up). The problem is once those words are out you can’t bring them back. In the book of James, it talks about the tongue and how it is full of deadly poison. James 3:8 (NIV) 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. Your words can also be used to calm a situation. In

Two thousand years ago, Jesus showed us how we should respond to the kind of hate-driven barriers that oppress people who are different. In John 4:7 it starts the story of Jesus meeting the Samaritan women. Who were the Samaritans? The Samaritans were a despised and powerless minority of no perceived value to the Jews in those days. John 4 vs 9 it says, “ Jews do not associate with Samaritans”. Jesus chose a Samaritan woman, and she wasn’t just any women. She had a history of
