Breaking Free from the Victim Mentality Through Forgiveness
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...

Forgiveness Isn't About Deserving
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...

Don't Let Little Things Ruin Your Day
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...

Finding Strength Through Weakness in Life's Battles
I had a brutal day yesterday I’m so many ways and one that just breaks my heart. But it got me thinking again to what we’ve been talking about with suffering.

Grace Not Works: The Foundation of True Service
You know, I started talking about “doing good” yesterday and asked that we find the why behind our works. I want to dig a little more and discuss our efforts.

Jesus Knows Our Thoughts and Still Loves Us
Ok, I really want to talk about something that has been eating at me for some time...some of my thoughts.

What Is Grace Exactly?
#TBT9/25/19Grace. What is it exactly? I mean I sign off with,“Grace wins” everyday, but what exactly am I talking about? Well, in the book of Romans, Paul tells us that we can’t receive God’s favor, become righteous, by works alone. Meaning simply obeying the laws of the land wouldn’t get us His...

The Speck and the Plank: Why We Judge Others
It sure is easy see the speck in somebody else’s eye. But the plank in our own? What plank? Why do we do that? “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in y...

Gracious Speech in Divisive Times

Like the feeling you had when you were a kid and you got in trouble with your parents and they punished you and during that moment you felt like they have left you? I have for sure. But the thing is, that feeling that our...

Christianity: A Calling, Not a Cause
I was reading last night and came across an idea that I though was worth sharping. It’s about not treating Christianity like a “cause”. You know the one causes, they’re are thousands; #metoo, #blacklivesmatter, #livestrong, #standforamerica, etc. You see following Jesus isn’t a cause, it’s a call...

God's Goodness - He Really Likes You
It’s amazing how much we rely on God’s Grace and understanding that He intends for Good for us. It’s so hard to find that goodness in today’s world with what we are being fed by the media and others, but “good” exists. Our frequently guilty consciences make us afraid that our first meeting with G...

Showing Compassion to Those Who Oppose You
