September 29, 2021
1You ever heard someone say, “that person’s hurt me so many times there’s no way I could ever forgive them”? I have...I may have thought it a time or two as well. Maybe you have? “Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against...
gods-powerSeptember 21, 2021
We serve a BIG GOD! What does this mean? It means God will work His purposes in your life even when people say He is not supposed to do it. It means in the midst of your darkest hour God will perform the miracle everyone deems impossible. It’s happened to me. God is going to do it when all of hel...
salvationSeptember 16, 2021
“Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."”John 3:3 Jesus is telling us how we get to Heaven. You see, Christianity, in a sense, is about new beginnings. If we are not prepared to make a fresh start each day, putting the mistakes...
humilityAugust 31, 2021
I’m sure many of you have heard of C.S. Lewis. He was a prominent 20th century theologian who said, “Humility is not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less.” I bring it up because I’ve been thinking about what I am seeing in the Media and how we’ve become so PC these days. Everyo...
forgivenessJuly 28, 2021
I’m throwing it back today to some forgiveness because it’s in my mind this morning. “Forgiven people should be forgiving people”! Yes!You see, God gave us forgiveness and redemption through His son Jesus, why would we not deliver the same thing to those who hurt us? What makes His forgiveness un...
addictionMay 24, 2021
Look, I get it, we all need to feel a reconnection with God and with people after we have done something wrong or been through a difficult circumstance. But if we don’t find that bond, we will try and comfort ourselves with something else, anything else, to numb the pain. Our addictions are norma...
forgivenessMay 7, 2021
You ever think about how powerful Jesus is and His command for us forgive, as God has, those who have hurt us? I mean think about this, with that one selfless action, He becomes the great restorer. Pretty awesome I think. “"If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you...
anger-managementApril 28, 2021
“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.”James 1:19-20Seeking revenge or trash talking someone else when they hurt us is easy to do. We all have time everyday where someone has...
repentanceApril 26, 2021
“And Jesus answered them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance."”Luke 5:31-32 You see, God sent His only son Jesus to Earth for primary purpose: to give us new life. In Luke, Jesus rewords His miss...
healingApril 23, 2021
“He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.”1 Peter 2:24-25 Have you ever gotten lost? It can be one o...
gods-rulesMarch 15, 2021
What “rules” do you play by? Human rules versus God’s rules?You see, we add things to God’s rules and think it helps people. Usually, it causes people to take their eyes off God’s rules and put them on our rules. Soon, our rules become more important than God’s. Love one another. Forgive anyone w...
forgivenessMarch 2, 2021
Pull yourself together, seriously. “He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.”Psalms 40:2-3 I have a past...
forgivenessFebruary 17, 2021
Last night while we were “Netflix and chillin’”, I was going through some older devotionals and I came across something I wrote or shared a while ago. It’s definitely worth sharing again.“Harboring unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person the die; it’s not hurting the...
forgivenessFebruary 10, 2021
So, I spent some time yesterday with a long time friend who after some struggles is looking to the Lord for renewal. When friends come to us, it’s our chance to bear witness to the Grace God has shown us. It’s our chance to share what has so freely and undeservingly been given us...it’s also a ch...
forgivenessJanuary 27, 2021
I kind of want to stay on forgiveness a little longer. It seems the world is just out for revenge or quick to blame one party or the next....blah, blah, blah, you get the point. I mean sometimes we might hesitate to forgive someone because we don’t feel very forgiving toward them. We might still...
forgivenessJanuary 26, 2021
So, a good friend of mine and I have recently been taking about the idea of forgiveness and I though I’d go back to my favorite subject again and talk about it. It’s the root of our salvation, so why not keep it in the forefront of our daily talks, right? “Forgiven people should be forgiving peop...
offenseDecember 28, 2020
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Remember that growing up?How awesome would it be if that statement were true? Oftentimes it is far easier to heal a broken bone than it is to heal the wound caused by something someone said that deeply offended us. One of the top...
thanksgivingNovember 23, 2020
As we start this week of thanksgiving let’s try and focus on just that...“Nobody stands as tall as a Christian on his knees”I love this anonymous quote. It reminds me to spend time on my knees and thank the Lord for all his blessings and forgiveness. I need it. And because I need it (forgiveness)...
forgivenessOctober 30, 2020
First, let me apologize for being late a few days this weeks and especially yesterday. Things have not been going my way AT ALL and to add to the crap-o-la, we got hit by the storm and lost a huge tree and power. (We still don’t have any)With that being said, I want to wrap up the week of forgive...
forgivenessOctober 29, 2020
It’s hard to see the news today and not see one faction of our society playing the victim over something. I’m fact, I think we as a society have become victims. It’s like nobody wants to be held responsible for their won actions. It’s like the decision we make doesn’t matter anymore because when...
forgivenessOctober 28, 2020
I’m rolling to the forgiveness thing right now so allow me some latitude if you don’t mind. It’s my favorite subject. The best way I can think of to describe unforgiveness — or holding onto hurt — is it’s like a poison or cancer inside you that is slowly eating you alive. The more it’s in there,...
forgivenessOctober 27, 2020
The longer I live, the more I get surprised by people. By surprised, I mean hurt. What really sucks is no matter how righteous we think we are, at least for me, I will forgive them but some times hang onto a feeling of, “I forgive you, but you don’t deserve it!” Ever had that thought? You probabl...
loveOctober 23, 2020
So I’m reading first Corinthians last night and find myself reading this verse we all know. “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with...
forgivenessOctober 22, 2020
Isn’t it crazy how we can let the littlest thing someone does to us, intentionally or not, ruin our whole day? Happens to me all the time. Could be anything, a dumb question, solicitor call, unexpected reports or paperwork, you name it. A lot of times, it throws us off so much we can’t wait to te...
