We are more than conquerors through [Christ] who loved us. (Romans 8:37 NIV) It’s been nine years since I launched a personal blog on Facebook. At first, “Rising with the Son” sounded like a catchy title for a Christian book I intended to publish. I still remember brainstorming a bunch of titles with my friendContinueContinue reading “Rising with the Son”

This Is It!
The two of them climbed into the boat, and the wind died down. The disciples in the boat, having watched the whole thing, worshiped Jesus, saying, “This is it! You are God’s Son for sure!” (Matthew 14:32-33 MSG) There’s not one person on God’s green earth who enjoys storms and even if we looked forContinueContinue reading “This Is It!”
Come Ahead
But Jesus was quick to comfort them. “Courage, it’s me. Don’t be afraid.” Peter, suddenly bold, said, “Master, if it’s really you, call me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come ahead.” (Matthew 14:27-30 MSG) After feeding the large crowd, Jesus sends His disciples away in the boat and goes up toContinueContinue reading “Come Ahead”
Don’t be Afraid; Just Believe
A synagogue ruler by the name of Jairus went to get Jesus because his twelve-year-old daughter was dying. Not long after, some men came from the house and told him not to bother Jesus because the girl had died. Jesus ignored them, told Jairus to believe and continued on his way. “When they came toContinueContinue reading “Don’t be Afraid; Just Believe”
Don’t Let It Get in the Way
Have you noticed how most of the miracles have one thing in common: someone or something always tried to get in the way of someone receiving their miracle. Here are just some of the many examples we find in the Gospels: Jairus, the synagogue leader who went looking for Jesus for life, was told notContinueContinue reading “Don’t Let It Get in the Way”
No Word From God Will Ever Fail
The angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard.

I am an old man and my wife is well along in years.”ContinueContinue reading “No Word From God Will Ever Fail”
Never Stop Believing and Expecting
Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned thatContinueContinue reading “Never Stop Believing and Expecting”
When God Steps In
God told Moses, “Look at me…I am going to put Pharaoh’s back up and follow it up by filling Egypt with signs and wonders. Pharaoh is not going to listen to you, but I will have my way against Egypt and bring out my soldiers, my people the Israelites, from Egypt by mighty acts ofContinueContinue reading “When God Steps In”
I Was Blind But Now I See!
“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.” (John 9:3 NIV) The blind man in John 9 lived with a label all his life until Jesus came along, that is. Since his birth, he was known for his disability.ContinueContinue reading “I Was Blind But Now I See!”
Only Faith Beyond This Point
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. (Hebrews 11:6 NIV) If faith is the key we need to unlock the doors we must pass through in life, not many of us would getContinueContinue reading “Only Faith Beyond This Point”
