February 10, 2026
It’s “treatment Tuesday” again, and I think about the ride over to the Oncology center among the droves of people rushing to get to their job…only I’m not going to work. I’m going to sit with many people who are going through a rough season, so may worse than mine. It’s taught me to learn some pa...
patienceJanuary 28, 2026
Lets keep talking about listening to God and looking for his answers. “for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”James 1:3-4 Look, I think it’s pretty evident that God s...
wordsJanuary 26, 2026
Let’s roll into a cold week with a thought about the words that come out of our mouths. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.”Proverbs 18:21 ESVYou see, words can be the fruit of our thought and our hearts and can be used to encourage and lift...
trustworthinessJanuary 14, 2026
It’s been an interesting last couple of weeks in a very honest and healthy way. I’ve somehow had some wonderful conversations with several of you and others around life, faith and other daily happenings. One of which came up this week was about trust. It came up in the context of one of you said,...
understandingJanuary 13, 2026
“A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.”Proverbs 18:2 How quick do you judge others? How often do you feel misunderstood? If I’m honest, I’d say for me, quite a bit on both...Look, no one likes to be misunderstood, yet we often make faulty judgments of peop...
self-controlJanuary 9, 2026
“A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.”Proverbs 25:28 ESVI stumbled across this Proverb and I just had to take pause to think about it, so let’s discuss it. So God gave us free will to do what we want to do. We can eat unhealthy, smoke, drink excessively or...
patienceJanuary 8, 2026
I have been forced to learn a lot about myself the last four years and one of the things I’ve learned is I needed to get better with patience. Not only with life but mostly with people. I always thought I was a relatively patient person until I started trying to really learn what it meant to be p...
humilityJanuary 7, 2026
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 world these days. Everyone is so offended, and trig...
humilityJanuary 1, 2026
It’s a New Year, let’s get our minds right…How humble do you think you are? Are you prideful and boastful? I ask because God is close to the humble and broken hearted. No one is perfect. We all have sinned. But what makes us beloved to God is our willingness to accept our sinful condition and ret...
complainingDecember 2, 2025
So, I’m still reading and working through Philippians and this happens;“Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,”Philippians...
witnessingNovember 28, 2025
So I’ve been reading through Philippians and talking about how we need to get to work to spread the word of Jesus. It’s been enlightening reading about Paul and his struggles and his witness. But it’s been brought up to me and asked, “how exactly do we be an effective witness?”Well, look at it li...
humilityNovember 26, 2025
“So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility coun...
prideNovember 14, 2025
I had a great conversation recently with one of my friends recently and we were discussing times when we feel like “we got this” and we believe in our own selves and stop relying on God. You see this is caused by or led by Pride, the first sin. Pride tells us that we can do what want and we are e...
waitingNovember 13, 2025
You ever feel like your waiting for God’s plan for you? I sure do, but what if all this waiting isn’t really us waiting for God but rather Him waiting for us? What I am getting at is who is actually doing the waiting? We may think it’s us, but we could be wrong. Think about when Abraham asked God...
gods-faithfulnessOctober 15, 2025
So in Romans 8, we are told, “if God is for us, who can be against us?” What an incredibly comforting promise from the living God, especially in the troubled times in which we are living. But God requires from us two things in return: they are faithfulness and obedience. You see, He is a jealous...
forgivenessOctober 13, 2025
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...
humilityOctober 10, 2025
This past week was somewhat frustrating but at the same time gratifying. You see, somewhere in the crazy journey of mine to grow my relationship with Christ, I think I’m beginning to learn what humility all means. For years I set my sights on accomplishing thing that defined “who” I was...but the...
gratitudeOctober 6, 2025
I want to wrap up this discussion surrounding what comes out of our mouths with the idea of complaining. I’m guilty as charged and no matter how much I try to stop it, I still fail. Good news is God has been working on me and he’s given me an “out” and I’m getting better. Let me elaborate on what...
judgmentOctober 3, 2025
So, it seems We’ve made our way back around to a topic we discussed a few years ago. So I went back and found this for a nostalgic way to close out the week. Y’all remember the trend many years ago that we all wore in our arms and stuck bumper stickers on our cars that said, “WWJD”? (What would J...
anger-managementOctober 2, 2025
“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 to rip on someone...
humilitySeptember 23, 2025
“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.”Philippians 2:3 ESVSo, we all have to deal with pride, lust and entitlement to some degree. Some more in one area than others. But to be able to deal with the weak areas of our life we nee...
character-buildingSeptember 18, 2025
Grinding it out and persevering builds character. Plain and simple. Something about endurance has the incredible capacity to refine you. I guess it’s kind of like a fire for silver, removing impurities and strengthening the character. Often because endurance goes hand-in-hand with trials and tria...
restraintSeptember 3, 2025
I got to thinking over the last week how some things are better left unspoken; don’t give them airtime. In other words, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all...right? Proverbs 10:19 “In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is wise”.Some th...
gentle-wordsSeptember 2, 2025
I’ve always been known as someone who “tells is like it is”. I’ve taken pride in the you may not like what I say, but I will always tell you like I see it. Well, maybe I need to work on the way in which I deliver my message...maybe you do too.I/we need to understand and leverage the power of gent...
