Todays topic has been on my mind a couple days now and I knew I had written about it in the past. Well, I found it, we discussed it back in October of 2019…we’ve been at this a while!I’m sure many of you have heard of C.S. Lewis. He was a prominent 20th century theologian who said, “Humility is n...
power-of-wordsAugust 16, 2022
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.”Proverbs 18:21 What is coming out of our mouths? The words that come out of our mouth have the power to build up or destroy. We who are created in His image have this powerful gift of using words for the bu...
humilityAugust 12, 2022
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 return to Him. You see, David was a man after...

witnessingJune 30, 2022
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 l...
humilityJune 28, 2022
“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...
integrityJune 8, 2022
Yesterday, I was in a conversation with a co-worked, friend and member of this group, and we were talking about the erosion of faith and integrity in our country and people in general. So, I got to digging and recalled an article I posted three years ago titled, “The ungrateful American”. The art...
trialsJune 3, 2022
Aight, look here…we all know people who are going through a rough season in their life. Heck, you may be too.While I certainly feel empathy, I can’t help but reflect on the fact the If you live long enough in this world, you will inevitably go through some kind of suffering. But as Christians, yo...
gods-disciplineJune 1, 2022
Listen, I’ve been rambling on for the past week about our bad habits and how God can remove them from us and restore us. So check this out;“Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I...
gods-protectionMay 18, 2022
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...
forgivenessMay 16, 2022
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...
humilityMay 13, 2022
This past week has been somewhat disappointing 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......
truthMay 9, 2022
Why do people tell lies? We live in a world full of them. Well, that’s easy. Because lying might enable guilty people to escape responsibility and consequences for their misdeeds. Because lying might preserve the illusion of their innocence. Because lying helps the sinner avoid having to face up...
weaknessApril 29, 2022
I’ve thought about this all week and I wanted to end this week by discussing probably my most favorite verse in the Bible;“So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me...
humilityApril 28, 2022
“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 need...
perseveranceApril 26, 2022
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...
waiting-on-godApril 7, 2022
How are we doing waiting on God’s Plan for us? I ask because I’ve been a bit “all over the place” lately waiting to start treatments again…“Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!”Psalms 27:14 You know, when we go for the instant gratification, we give up...

“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”Philippians 2:3-4 What are we doing here? What is reading the Bible, prayer, and Christianity all a...
graceMarch 31, 2022
We can learn a lot from Paul...“For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, bu...
humilityMarch 22, 2022
I was reading last night and ran across a quote/idea I’m sure I’ve written about but it’s worth revisiting. 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...
