When God is Silent
So I’ve been reading-thinking about prayer and when God is listening. Does he take a break from listening? I don’t think so…But how do we react when God is silent? You see, God uses silence to draw out faith. Great faith!When God is silent, do we listen to voices that question our right to hear f...

Bringing Hope to a World Full of Doubt
As we fall into November with too much candy in our bellies, I wanted to touch on something I’ve been kicking around all week, doubt. While we talk about hope and good fruit all the time it seems as though it “pays better” to promote the opposite. You see, we sure live in a world of skepticism an...

Believing for the Impossible - God's New Thing
I was in treatment yesterday and I got to thinking about this past year and where I am. I’m not sure what you’ve been doing all year and if it’s even what God wants you to be doing, but I know God wants us to ask Him to get involved. He wants us to believe for the impossible because it requires u...

Faith: The Choice That Opens Heaven's Door
We talk about our faith everyday. We lean on our faith to get through everyday. Our faith gives us hope. But what is Faith really?In Hebrews it tells us;“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”Hebrews 11:1 That’s it! It’s believing in something we canno...

Living in Grace: Peace Through Justification
“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that s...

Overcoming Fear and Looking Forward
23So, I’m talking to one of my flying buddies on the phone yesterday and we were discussing our faith and how we rely on it when we are faced with fear. After we talked I pondered on our chat for a while and one of the things I kept coming back to is what and why I feared some of the things I’ve...

Strength in Numbers: Faith Through Fellowship
We’ve talked about having Faith for the past couple of days now and I’d like to be wrapping up how we exercise that Faith in overcoming our troubles and fears through fellowship with others. When was the last time you shared your fears and struggles with a close friends? You see, we were designed...

Faith in the Storm: Beyond Mere Belief
So, I made the comment yesterday that, “Believing is not Faith”. I’m confident of this and I believe that, while related, they are drastically different. Faith is not believing in God’s goodness only when we are out of the storm; faith is believing in God’s goodness right in the middle of it. The...

Who Holds Your Future: From Anxiety to Trust
Are we addressing the real issues in our anxiety over what the future holds? Is our anxiety a product of not knowing what the future holds? I submit to you that we are anxious because we are trying to control what happens and not truly giving our lives to God to navigate. We may “believe” he has...

A Heart Full of Gratitude and Praise
I am so grateful for each of you. I’m feeling it and I want to talk about it. Last week I had the chance to talk with a couple of you and you have filled my heart with happiness because you told me you look forward each morning to our little devotional. I even got to talk about it on a podcast, “...

Choosing Praise When We Don't Understand
I came across this prayer of sorts and since I don’t think I could write it any better, I thought I’d just share it with you today;Lord, everything you do is righteous and holy. Though I don’t always understand the things that happen, my heart is set upon you. I will rest in the faithfulness of y...

When God's Ways Don't Make Sense
Unless you live on an island alone there’s a good chance you’ll be faced with dealing with other peoples problems. Family, friends, etc. Trying to carry the burden of others and taking care of you own at the same time can be exhausting. I’m sure you’ve been there, we all have. So, I decided to di...

Becoming Like Children
So I’m sitting in the airport flying back to Atlanta yesterday and I’m people watching. We all do it and it’s fun, especially at airports. Well, something occurred to me while I’m watching a group of kids cruise by…they ain’t worried about a thing. They’re just being kids. Happy about everything,...

God Heals the Brokenhearted and Binds Our Wounds
As we get closer to the weekend, Saturday May 13th, I can’t help but to think about my dad. You see that is his birthday. It’s hard to believe it’s been four years since he passed. I know I’m not as “walking sad” as I was four years ago and the waves of sadness have certainly calmed, but I miss h...

Sunrise Faith: Growing Love for the God We Cannot See
As I sit here watching the sun come up this morning, I can help but marvel at the beauty God has made. How do I know he made it? Well, I have faith that he did. It’s the same faith that I have in Him that allows me to grow closer to Him. You see, developing a love for God is a little more challen...

Blessed in Trials: Standing Steadfast for the Crown of Life
“Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.”James 1:12 As we’ve talked about staying true to our faith under hard times and how that will build perseverance, James tells us t...

Right Heart, Right Environment - Walking with God
So many times we think we are doing the right thing in our relationship with God but with no result. Most of the time it’s because we have put ourselves in the wrong environment. Think of it this way, if you are under water trying to breathe and you’re inhaling and exhaling, you’re doing everythi...

God's Plan Unfolding Before Us
God’s Plan for our life is unfolding before us but often times it’s not visible to us. Most of the time I would say it’s happening so slowly that I’m not sure if it’s happening. But then, when I least expect it and through no effort of my own, God reveals pieces of his plan to me. The things that...

Planting Seeds, Not Moving Mountains
So, will we always see the result of the work we’ve done by witnessing to others and being there when they need us the most? Most certainly not. But that shouldn’t discourage us from being there and sharing the Gospel. You see, we never really know how God is using us, we just need to have faith...

Prayer: Your First Line of Defense
How many times a day do we see and hear people ask for prayer, say they prayed or given the response after something bad happens, “my thoughts and prayers are with you”? I’d say it happens daily and I say it too. While clearly nothing is wrong with it and prayer is an amazing thing, using it as a...

Does God Hear Our Prayers?
Have you ever just cried out to the Lord in need and wonder if he “got the message”? I’m sure you have, I know I have. It’s funny though, even through we have faith that God hears us, we still have the human inclination to wonder if He heard us and if He’s got it. “And this is the confidence that...

Finding Perfect Peace in Life's Imperfect Circumstances
So, what causes us to think God’s peace equals perfection on earth? Our expectations. I read where a pastor once said, “If I’m going to live at peace, I’ve got to surrender my expectation of perfection. Peace isn’t found in a place or in a set of circumstances that are problem free.” Amen, huh?Wh...

God is Listening: Your Prayers Aren't Falling on Deaf Ears
You ever get frustrated when you’re talking to someone and it seems like you’re wasting your breath? Like they’re not listening or couldn’t care less? Well, if you’re married like me, you’ve been accused of it by your wife and I’m sure if you have kids you know what I’m talking about...Well, it e...

God's Unchanging Love: Present Even in Bad Times
You know it easy sometimes to think that God isn’t present when things are going bad for us. The feeling that maybe He isn’t there when we deviate from what we think is His plan for us. Well, it is simply not true. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father...
