Rev. Dr. Roberta M. Heck, Chaplain “Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?” Acts 23:3 (KJV) In this passage, the Apostle Paul stands before the Jewish council after being arrested in Jerusalem.

Rev. Dr. Roberta M. Heck, Chaplain “Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.” 2 John 1:3 (KJV) In this brief but powerful verse, the Apostle John opens his letter with a profound blessing: “Grace be with you, mercy, and peace…” These three words, grace, mercy, and peace, encapsulate the very heart of the Christian life.

Rev. Dr. Roberta M. Heck, Chaplain There is a mysterious, holy pattern woven throughout Scripture: before God uses someone greatly, He breaks them deeply. It’s not punishment, it’s preparation. It’s not rejection, it’s refinement. And though every part of us longs for the oil of anointment, very few welcome the crushing that produces it. We find that there are those who desire the calling, but not the cost. But God, a loving, wise, intentional, and all knowing ~ knows that be

Rev. Dr. Roberta M. Heck, Chaplain “Don’t expect people to be there for you just because you’re there for them. Not everyone has the same heart as you.” Wake up, child of God. Too many of us are bruised because we placed our hope in the hands of man. The king of hands that tremble, hearts that waver, and souls that are selfish. You poured out your love. You gave your loyalty. You carried burdens that were never yours. And yet, when your storm came, where were they? Too often,

Rev. Dr. Roberta M. Heck, Chaplain • “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.” Ezekiel 36:26 (NIV) • “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV) At the very core of God’s promises is transformation. Not an outward makeover but an inner renewal. In Ezekiel 36:26, God speaks to Israel, a people who had strayed

Rev. Dr. Roberta M. Heck, Chaplain From the quiet humility of Christ’s birth to the unspeakable agony of His crucifixion, and finally to the living invitation of the Way, the story of Jesus is not only the foundation of our faith, it is the pattern for our lives. The birth of Jesus reminds us that God chose nearness over distance, humility over majesty, and love over power. Christ did not arrive in a palace, but in a manger. He entered the world through vulnerability, wrapped

Rev. Roderick Heck, M.T.S., M.Div. In the heart of every community lies a beacon of hope and love - the local church.

Rev. Dr. Roberta M. Heck, Chaplain “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalm 91:1 (KJV) There is a difference between visiting God and dwelling with God. Many come to Him in moments of crisis or desperation, but Psalm 91 does not describe a temporary refuge. It speaks of a permanent residence. To dwell in the secret place of the Most High means to live in continual fellowship with God… to abide in His presence

Rev. Dr. Roberta M. Heck, Chaplain “Strong women never give up. We might need a coffee, a cry, or even a day in bed, but we always come back stronger.” There is a misconception that strength means never breaking, never slowing down, never shedding a tear. But true strength is not the absence of a struggle, it’s the refusal to stay down when life tries to pin us there. Strong women are not those who never get tired; they are those who know when to rest, when to release, and wh

Rev. Roderick Heck, M.T.S., M.Div. Life often feels like a winding path, full of questions and moments of uncertainty. In those times, finding a clear sense of purpose can seem elusive.

This journey is deeply personal, yet universally comforting, inviting us to embrace a mission

Rev. Dr. Roberta M. Heck, Chaplain There is a quiet, sacred strength in a woman who has learned to stand alone, not in isolation, not in bitterness, but in confidence, divine identity, and purpose. To be okay with being alone does not mean she rejects companionship; it means she refuses to be defined or upheld by it. She draws her worth from God, not from the presence or absence of people. One of the most powerful biblical truths that speaks to this is found in the Psalms: “G

Rev. Dr. Roberta M. Heck, Chaplain “There once was a time the president was honored, police were respected, newborns were treasured, and the elderly were revered. Let’s bring that back, can we?” The longing for days when respect, honor, and reverence were not just ideals but lived realities is something many of us feel deeply. Society often changes, and sometimes, values that were once foundational seem to fade. But as believers, we are called to be beacons of light and agent
