    • This picture captures a story of firefighters who have spent every ounce of energy trying to save lives and properties from the raging fires in California. And they do it at great risk and great sacrifice. They are by all definitions “Our Hero’s.” Pray for them, encourage them, help them and honor them. I don’t know how they do it except they truly care and are committed to serving our communities. From the depths of our hearts we thank you and we are blessed by your service. #firefighters #woolseyfire #campfire #simi #thousandoaks #california #californiafires #updates #sacrifice #commitment #love #grateful
    • Ajai Lall, LAPD, Jiggy Jayce and Veteran’s Day. Just another perfect day @shepherdchurch!
    • Veterans, ALL Veterans. We, the citizens of the United States of America, thank you for your service and sacrifice. We are ALL indebted to you! May God be with you, each and everyday, and with our freedom may be always seek to do the right thing and help one another and serve one another as you have served us! #veteransday #flagrespect #usa
    • PRAYING!!!
    • From our church campus in Porter Ranch you can see the fires. Praying for all that are in harms way. Praying for the firefighters. Praying that the winds diminish soon. Be safe. Evacuate if you are asked. Open your homes to those who need a place to stay. Praying for YOU!
    • Praying for every single person touched by the tragedy in Thousand Oaks. We had people from our church inside when the gun fire began. My dear friends Adam and Tamara Housley lost their 18 year old niece named Alaina. She had just moved to Southern California in August. The bible teaches that when you see an increase of wickedness it is a sign that the return of Christ is near. 1) Know that God cares. He is a God of all comfort. (II Corinthians 1:3-4) 2) Whatever your burden, cast it upon the Lord because he cares for you. (Matthew 11:28) 3) God tracks every tear. He knows your heartache. (Psalm 56:8) 4) You have nothing to fear because God is with you. (Psalm 23:4) 5) Jesus himself experienced suffering. He too understands all sorrow. (Isaiah 53:3) 6) God is our refuge and strength - an ever present help in trouble. He will strengthen you. (Psalm 46:1-2) 7) One day, for those of us who are Christians, we will live forever in a place where there is no more pain, no more death and no more sorrow. (Revelation 21:4) Please keep all of the families who are hurting as well as the family of Sgt. Ron Helus who was a 29 year old veteran from the Ventura County Sheriff's office. He was a hero and gave his life to save many lives. Praying that each of you meet and know and lean upon the one who is called the "Prince of Peace." @adamhousley @tameramowrytwo #thousandoaks #thousandoaks #borderline
    • Met @thejeanniemai who was an absolute delight. She of course is on @therealdaytime and two of the other women on that show @tameramowrytwo and @adriennebailon are dear friends of mine, as well as, @shepherdchurch. Always love praying for people who are in the public eye that God would be with them, protect them, guide them and they they themselves will always honor God. #jeaniemai Thank you for being so kind to #jiggyjayce and @kaylafrancisla. We will be praying for you and the rest of #thereal. Blessings!!!!!!! @adamhousley @israelhoughton . Love you all!
    • Ok!! Really!!!! My heart is so full of love for this grandson! #jiggyjayce. He saw my photo on the back of my book called “Walls Fall Down” and he kissed my photo while he was at our friends house @shalenasmith. He even says #papa and he forever has his grandfather wrapped around his finger! Love you #Jayce. #grandson #lovemakestheworldgoround #foreverblessed

12 Years After “The Secret” and There’s Still No Substitute for the Gospel

November 7, 2018

Since its release in 2006, a self-help book called The Secret has sold more than 19 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over forty-six languages. The premise of the book is that you can create whatever you want by using the power of your mind. It is a self-centered philosophy that is actually nothing more than recycled Hinduism and New Age folly. Many people think if Oprah endorses something, that makes it okay….

Boldness to Share Your Faith Begins with Humility

October 1, 2018

When you become a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), God wants to give you a brand-new perspective, a promising future, and an everlasting hope. One important byproduct of this awesome transformation is a new wardrobe as well! What I mean is this: You exchange your old, dirty, raggedy clothes—which represents your former and sinful ways—for clean, gleaming, new clothes—which represents your justification and sanctification through Christ. But instead of trendy styles or expensive…
