March 19, 2024
I don’t know about you but I’ve got to do better at turning off gossip when I hear it. I also need to not “enable it” when I hear it by giving a participatory laugh or, “now way!” It just makes it worse. It seems as if now days we believe the negative stuff about people more than the positive stu...
gratitudeMarch 4, 2024
You ever take a minute and look around your life and reflect on the blessing He has given you? I’m sure you have, we all do at times. This morning, as I was digging into the word, I was reflecting on some of those things and it struck me that some of what I was grateful for were things of this wo...
evangelismFebruary 27, 2024
We have a lot of work to do yet. We need to always be sharing the name who has delivered us, Jesus. Just the other day, I came across a young girl that I could tell needed to smile. I had a kind word for her, she smiled and what a wonderful smile she had. That was Jesus at work. Now is the time t...
humilityFebruary 26, 2024
“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...
faithFebruary 20, 2024
As I sit here watching the sun come up this morning, I can’t 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 chall...
golden-ruleFebruary 19, 2024
So, we’ve been talking about seeking balance in our lives and our relationships with God by showing compassion and serving others. What’s interesting though, is this has me circling back to our discussion of the “Golden Rule” and how that affects our relationship with others and our relationship...
compassionFebruary 16, 2024
I was talking to one of you yesterday about the days writing I sent out. I always appreciate a good conversation around the messages I send out. Especially when they hit home and are appreciated. I genuinely cherish each of you and love the exchanges. “When two or more are gathered” right!? Anyho...
incarnationFebruary 9, 2024
“"Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel" (which means, God with us).”Matthew 1:23 Have you ever thought about why God sent Jesus? It’s pretty amazing to think about. God could have chosen any number of ways to save us. But He sent His Son, Jesus,...
listeningFebruary 8, 2024
These days, it’s easy to be valued for your opinion. Everyone wants to be an Instagram influencer or a popular Facebook friend. And while there’s nothing inherently wrong with that, we do need to take a step back and think. Are we trying to be so loud that we’re missing opportunities to listen?Je...
graceFebruary 7, 2024
“And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her."”John 8:7 In a world where opinions can go viral minutes after they’re posted, and social media debates go from zero to 100 in a hot second, it’s wise to re...
gratitudeJanuary 31, 2024
Yesterday, I had the great pleasure of meeting a 101 year old WW2 veteran. A friend of mine owns a 1942 Stearman Biplane and he had this gentleman out for a ride in the plane. After spending some time with him, helping him in and out of the plane and talking to him, I couldn’t help be feel a huge...
gods-loveJanuary 24, 2024
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...
honorJanuary 12, 2024
You ever think about what it means when we treat others the way we want to be treated? I think what it means, other than love your brother, is to honor what God has made. Honor isn’t a new idea. In fact, it is actually a key component in the scripture we read. God created each one of us, and ever...
forgivenessJanuary 10, 2024
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...
christmasDecember 22, 2023
“But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save h...
spiritual-giftsDecember 15, 2023
Did you know you have a gift to share? You do, whether you are aware of it or not you’ve got something to share. I got to reflecting about last weekend and all the different people I took up flying and how excited they were to get to do something they may never otherwise do. I feel so blessed to...
moneyDecember 8, 2023
Sorry I’m late today. I’m traveling to see family. So, I want to keep on track this week about some of the things that in many ways separate us from our relationship with God. The pursuit of “more” is definitely one of those things...“He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he wh...
fearDecember 7, 2023
I’m sure I’m like the rest of us when I say I’m bad about fear and worry. No matter how much I KNOW my life is in Gods hands and he always provides, I still get caught in worry. When that happens, I think we are not necessarily driving God away, but we are certainly keeping him at bay. “There is...
loveDecember 4, 2023
Following Jesus truly comes down to two things: Love God passionately, and love people selflessly! Our world we live in is starved for love. Not the fake, strings attached kind of love, but the real kind of love that only comes from God. That’s the kind we get from a relationship with God that we...
salvationDecember 1, 2023
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?"”John 11:25-26 That’s really all there is to it, isn’t it? I mean, just believe that Jesus died for you...
gods-loveNovember 30, 2023
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.”Revelation 3:20 One of the most powerful things you need to understand as you follow Jesus is how much God loves you, He isn't interested in some religious...
salvationNovember 23, 2023
“"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”John 3:16 So this morning’s verse popped up on my phone and it was John 3:16. We see it everywhere, it’s been commercialized, advertised and immortalized by famous athlet...
gods-rulesNovember 16, 2023
What “rules” do you play by? Human rules or 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 who s...
undeserved-graceOctober 13, 2023
I don’t know about you, but I get the “I don’t deserve this...” feeling a lot when I think about what God has done for me and my life. His salvation alone can be bewildering at times. It’s the opinion we have about ourselves and our past or present. You see, we have one set of convictions about o...
