I just came from a local grocery store and realized its already in full force. The roses, teddy bears, heart-shaped chocolates, prepackaged body products, and tons of other items to woo your significant other on Valentine’s Day are available for purchase. Despite of the high divorce rates and frustrations that come with romance, we are [...]

Tale of Two Couples

Believe it or not, this is a true story! I know two couples that were married on the same day. As a matter of fact, I was invited to both weddings. Unfortunately, since they were in two different states, I could only attend one of the weddings. I enjoyed my friendship with both couples and [...]
When Love Birds Become Angry Birds

Our worship Director, Alex Williams, introduced me to the game Angry Birds last year. I can’t think of a better way to describe many couples after they become married. Two people that start out as love birds become angry birds. The relationship becomes filled with anger, hate, fights, arguments, frustration, jealousy, blame, resentment, and everything [...]
Dreaming

As many of us celebrate Martin Luther King Day, we are reminded of his dream. His dream was to see racial unity become a reality in the United States of America. Although he died before seeing his dream become a reality, he didn’t die with his dream. He pursued it until his death. In Acts [...]

80 Days of Fasting
Posted in Uncategorized on January 4, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Moses’ response to the Israelites’ worship of the golden calf in Deuteronomy 9 blows me away. After fasting forty days and nights, God told Moses that He would destroy Israel because of their sin and make Moses’ name great. Let’s be honest. If we spent forty day fasting only for God to say, “I want [...]

We are in Day 3 of our Seek Solemn Assembly at The Bridge. I’ve been encouraged by the great testimonies and hearing about what God is doing in people’s lives. It’s amazing! We are at the half way mark of our fast. This is where things get tough. Fasting tends to bring out the good, [...]

Fasting Day 1

This week is The Bridge’s solemn assembly. We simply entitled it Seek because we are seeking God this week through fasting and praying. Every evening a different group from our church will gather together to pray. Our service teams will gather to pray this evening. Our focus today is “Influence.” In Isaiah 58:7, God’s hope [...]
