Prayer

By Dwayne Hicks | July 24, 2012 |

I’ve prayed many times for many things. I’ve prayed about small things and big things. I’ve prayed for things big and small. I’ve probably prayed the most intense prayers over my children over the years.  I believe prayer is intimate communication with my Creator, my Father/Friend…my Dad. He knows me like no one else on…

Boundaries

By Dwayne Hicks | July 23, 2012 |

I’m still learning about boundaries this late in life. I’m learning that the boundaries that God speaks of in His Word are there for my own good.  As I set boundaries for my own children, I’m reminded of why boundaries exist for me.  The boundaries that the Lord sets are for my protection and because…

Love Wins!

By Dwayne Hicks | July 22, 2012 |

I have sticker that says, “Love Wins” on the back of my vehicle. A lot of people from our church have that sticker on their vehicles. I was reminded of the forever love of God this morning as I was reading Psalm 118. It was like King David was so grateful for the victories in…

Truth

By Dwayne Hicks | July 21, 2012 |

That word stirs stuff inside my heart. I’ve seen it abused and laughed at. I’ve seen such deceit and dishonesty that it can really turn my stomach upside down. I was taught at a very young age the importance of truth. In fact, I was taught that truth would come out even if someone tried…

Blessing

Some days I reflect on the blessings in my life. I am amazed at what the Lord has done in me, through me and for me. I am one blessed man. I was reminded this morning that it’s all for His glory and not for me. Check this out….  1 It does not belong to…

Anything

By Dwayne Hicks | July 18, 2012 |

You name it… this word can cover the largest of ranges. If you can think of a thing, it is covered under this word – Anything.  I believe that God can do ANYTHING He choses. I believe He is the Creator of all that we can see, touch, hear and know.  There isn’t “anything” beyond…

Praise The Lord

By Dwayne Hicks | July 17, 2012 |

I can never do enough of this. When I don’t know what else to do…Praise the Lord. When my relationship with the Lord gets dry and maybe a bit stale….Praise Him. I must learn to praise Him when things are going great and when things are falling apart. The Lord loves it when I praise…

Honesty

By Dwayne Hicks | July 16, 2012 |

This is how I want to be known. I serve in a profession that if sometimes characterized by people who are less than honest. It troubles me deeply when I hear stories where a friend was lied to, tricked or deceived by their REALTOR. I really believe that all businessmen and women should conduct their…

Wisdom

By Dwayne Hicks | July 11, 2012 |

This is a word that seems to come with experience and possibly age. I have met some young people who are wise beyond their years. I have also met older people who are immature, foolish and definitely need to grow in wisdom and maturity. Wisdom is defined as “the quality of having experience, knowledge, and…

By My Side

By Dwayne Hicks | July 10, 2012 |

I love the picture of having someone to help that comes along side me to help me. I believe that in marriage, spouses are to help one another along the journey of life. I like the picture about coming along side the Lord to do what it is He’s called me to do.  King David…
