March 1, 2023
So, what causes us to think God’s peace equals perfection on earth? Our expectations. I read where a pastor once said, “If I’m going to live at peace, I’ve got to surrender my expectation of perfection. Peace isn’t found in a place or in a set of circumstances that are problem free.” Amen, huh?Wh...
peaceFebruary 16, 2023
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”John 14:27 Do you really know what true Peace is? Generally speaking, we would say it’s a life absent of conflict, war, bad relationships, etc. Wh...
peaceFebruary 8, 2023
If you’ve been on this devotional list for a long time, you’ve heard me talk about peace and serenity. The peace and serenity I am referring to is the kind you only find through Jesus. The only kind you can find that can sustain you through pain. That is the peace that is sustaining me today...“P...
overcoming-fearJanuary 24, 2023
We all get scared. Some of us crave that sense of fear and go looking for it. But I think generally speaking we all get nervous and fear normal things too. I’m referring to physical breakdowns like illness (cancer comes to mind), injury, and death, but far worse is the danger of evil, of falling...
anxietyJanuary 18, 2023
“When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.”Psalm 94:19 Have you ever been through one of those seasons in life where things just aren’t going right? Maybe you've been overtaken by anxiety, stress, and restlessness as a result of your own sin. Sometimes seasons of anxie...
faith-journeyJanuary 17, 2023
I had a great conversation with a young man yesterday about his faith in Jesus. You see, like all of us, our faith gets challenged daily by non believers, false profits and believers alike. If we are not careful, it can cause us to have questions about our faith and really lead to some internal c...
humilityJanuary 13, 2023
One of the shortest Psalms, Psalm 131 is like a status update from a humble person. In about the length of a tweet, it lets God know where David is at in relation to the Lord.“O Lord, my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too...
anxietyJanuary 10, 2023
Seems like society is coiled up like a snake ready to strike the moment they’re triggered. From the corruptness in Washington to the moral decay of common society, you can feel the tenseness. It’s like everything and everyone is filled with some level of anxiety. I’m not suggesting I don’t sense...
worryJanuary 9, 2023
Good morning. You know, worry has a weird way of consuming every aspect of our lives. There will always be something to worry about, whether it’s questioning how you will pay your bills on time or losing sleep over the things you can’t control. But one thing is true about being anxious, it will s...
hopeJanuary 4, 2023
You know, Hope is a word that gets used a lot these days. I hope you’re doing well, I hope you’re doing good, etc. I’m sure if you sniffed around a while you’d find some group using it as a campaign slogan…At any rate, Isaiah tells us that the source of our hope is the source of our strength. If...
anxietyDecember 23, 2022
“casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.”1 Peter 5:7 While it is a wonderful time of year celebrating Christmas, it can also be a very anxious time for a lot of people. Some people are dealing with a lot of “firsts” this Christmas…first Christmas without a loved one comes to...
courageDecember 7, 2022
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."”Joshua 1:9 Some people seem to play life so safe against risk that they have little or no strength left to pursue their dreams and accomplish thei...
peaceNovember 14, 2022
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."”John 16:33 Do you ever feel like life is one problem after another?You make it through one issue, but before you can recover another one shoots up....
peaceOctober 17, 2022
Peace and serenity. We all seek it, we all crave it and we all need it. But where is it exactly? You may be like me and think it’s just in the absence of noise or conflict. But it’s not in the absence those things. It’s the tranquil feeling that’s not dependent on you circumstances. The peace we...
forgivenessOctober 10, 2022
You 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...
worryOctober 6, 2022
I seem to find myself on this topic a lot…maybe I’m telling myself this? Maybe it’s just important enough it bears more attention?You still worried about what happened yesterday and sweat what going to happen tomorrow? Yeah, well let it go. “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorro...
worryOctober 5, 2022
Being off grid last week gave me a lot of time to think. Being back has given be a lot of time to put it in practice. "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the...
faithSeptember 21, 2022
So I had a couple very serious and candid talks yesterday (one with the doctor) about my treatments and the “alternative” if it isn’t affective. But that treatment part is not really what today is about. What I want to talk about is the faith part. Yeah, we talk about it a lot but it is essential...
restSeptember 20, 2022
“Treatment Tuesday” is here and I wanted to leave you with a thought that I think we all feel more often than we admit. That’s the feeling of needing a rest! If you’re like me, as the year comes to an end, we find our selves wide open and wondering where the year went. Well, it went the same plac...
testimonyJuly 26, 2022
So pay close attention to what I’m about to tell you. That peace that God has blessed you with that is getting you through or has gotten you though tough times, well it’s not just for you. Yep, it’s true. As a good friend on mine told many many years ago, “if you want to keep it, you gotta share...
peaceJuly 21, 2022
Can we have peace in our hearts when our world is turned upside down?Pretty good question that requires an honest look inward. You see the kind of peace the world give us is pretty sketch at best. It can change on a whim with no notice at all. Happen to me three weeks ago, may have happened to yo...
gods-loveJuly 18, 2022
“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of...
peaceJune 2, 2022
So I’ve been reading and writing about “finding peace” of and on for a year now. To me, it is one of the most essential parts of my relationship with Christ. My vision of Jesus, in part, is peace. But I have learned recently about a phrase that young students in seminary school are taught and tha...
peaceMay 24, 2022
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."”John 16:33 It’s nearing a year now of treatments and I found myself slipping in and out what I call my “peace” or “serenity” yesterday. It gave me p...
