Seeking God First in a Social Media World
Most of you know me pretty well and know I am a sucker for some good social media. I really do enjoy it (when it’s not politics and hate). I stick with 4 topics-dogs, dirt bikes, airplanes and family. But it got me thinking about who we are and what what we are doing with it.You see, with the adv...

God's Plan Through Our Suffering
You ever notice that when we finally get out of whatever it is we are suffering from it never seems to be the way we thought we would get out of it? Like during our suffering we could never understand or see the way out that God has for us. It’s because it’s His plan for us not our plan for us. H...

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...
