Faithful Again

By Dwayne Hicks | April 29, 2013 |

When I think about my faithfulness – I feel pretty good about it. If I look below the surface I see how unfaithful I am to the Lord’s call upon my life. He calls me to consult Him in everything. He calls me to trust Him in everything and with everything. I still go my…

Stumble

By Dwayne Hicks | April 28, 2013 |

This is word I’m pretty familiar with. The older I get; the easier it is to loose my balance and stumble. The word stumble is defined as a momentary loss of balance. It’s an “almost fall”.  If I stumble a lot, I’m considered clumsy.  There is a difference between stumbling and falling. There is a…

Stubborn

By Dwayne Hicks | April 27, 2013 |

I’ve been called before. It’s not always a negative term. There are times to dig in and not back up. It takes a big person to note that a mistake has been made.

Forgiveness

By Dwayne Hicks | April 26, 2013 |

I believe forgiveness is a process and an event. Let me explain. Sometimes I am hurt so deeply that forgiveness is the last thing on my mind. In fact, retaliation is what I’m dwelling on. I think forgiveness is probably one of the most challenging parts of my life. Over the years I’ve been hurt…

Tender Heart

By Dwayne Hicks | April 25, 2013 |

I remember growing up hearing the descriptive term, “tender hearted”. It usually was describing someone who shows emotion at the “drop of a hat”. According to that definition, I became a “tender hearted” person. Sad movies make me cry. When I see someone going through hardship, it breaks my heart. I actually cry at other…

Object Lesson

By Dwayne Hicks | April 24, 2013 |

One of my fond memories of my days as a student pastor was teaching Children’s Church. I would often use object lessons to make the main point I was teaching about on a particular Sunday. I remember one I was teaching on the subject of God’s forgiveness and I was using “Flash Paper” that is…

Finish Strong!

By Dwayne Hicks | April 23, 2013 |

When I turned 50 years old, I began to think more about the finish line of life than ever before. I can’t help it – it just comes into my mind. How long do I have on earth? What will my family be like without me? What will people really say about me when I’m…

The Great War

By Dwayne Hicks | April 22, 2013 |

Daniel is a wise and devoted follower of God. He received a vision of The Great War between the North & the South. Now it is NOT the Civil war of these United States. It was, however a war among the kings that were rising quickly in power and taking over regional cities and building…

Answered Prayer

By Dwayne Hicks | April 21, 2013 |

I can’t count how many times that the Lord has answered my prayers. I have become bolder in my prayer life. There have been times when my prayers were so very desperate and I know the Lord hears my heart through my prayers. My heart has always been His concern.   I have prayed prayers that…
