“Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."”John 3:3 Jesus is telling us how we get to Heaven. You see, Christianity, in a sense, is about new beginnings. If we are not prepared to make a fresh start each day, putting the mistakes...

God Gives Grace to the Humble
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...

Gratitude for Everyone You Meet
You know, a few weeks ago I was talking about The Great Commission and how we are called to share the story of Christ.

Grace Explained - God's Free Gift of Righteousness
Grace. What is it exactly? I mean I sign off with,“Grace wins” everyday, but what exactly am I talking about? Well, in the book of Romans, Paul tells us that we can’t receive God’s favor, become righteous, by works alone. Meaning simply obeying the laws of the land wouldn’t get us His favor. So,...

Press On: Leaving the Past Behind
We must press on, we must leave the past in the past and press on in our daily lives not for our glory but His. Man, we need to let go of the past, the pain, the heartbreak, and the disappointments. We need to let go sadness and instead choose to live our lives in faith. We take God at His Word....

This World Is Not Our Home
It’s been a long few days,I’m not going to lie. But through the pain, there has been time to reflect on what is happening and I am sad but at peace.

Faith Gets Us Through Tough Times
This is a hard morning to write to you all as within the hour or sending our message out yesterday, my father passed away. But I’m not going to sit here and talk about his death, but rather something he believed in and said often in the face of tragedy. “I don’t see how people make it through tou...

Nothing Compares to Christ
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 much of what I was grateful for were things of this wo...

Saved by Grace, Not Works
Ok, so last week we talked about being a good witness for Christ, bearing good fruit and trying to be more like Jesus. All of which we should be doing. However, I think it’s worthy of discussion as to just how these “good works” are viewed. While we may be confident in our work, confidence in our...

Effective Witnessing: Be Like Jesus
So I’ve been reading throuus gh 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.

Sharing Christ Through Acts of Love and Kindness
We have a lot of work to do yet. We need to always be sharing the name who has delivered us, Jesus. Just today, 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 to reach...

What Matters is Christ is Preached
As we close the week, I wanted to touch on a something that has been with me the last few days. It’s a thought centering around my own sharing of the gospel and the sharing I receive from others. More specifically who “should and shouldn’t be sharing”? “Some indeed preach Christ from envy and riv...

God With Us: Why Jesus Came to Be Close
“"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,...

God Never Leaves You
I’m back! Sorry I missed yesterday but I was traveling back home. You ever get the feeling sometimes that when we sin, that God has left you? Like the feeling you had when you were a kid and you got in trouble with your parents and they punished you and during that moment you felt like they have...

Every Good Gift Comes from Above
I hope you all had a great weekend and for all you fathers out there, you were able to spend a day doing what you wanted. I had a successful weekend in VA racing but it caused me pause to reflect on some things. Over two days of racing I won 10/12 races or “tests”. The two I lost were from a hard...

Winning the Race That Matters: Eternal Perspective
Sport, like life, has winners and loser. It’s always has and it always will. Despite the wishes of a seemingly blind new culture that wants to teach us “fairness” and insulate of from pain and failure, you will lose and things won’t always go your way. But that’s ok. You see, when we walk with Ch...

The Deadly Trap of Lying: Truth as God's Lifeline
Why do people tell lies? 🤷🏻♂️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 to the ugly and soul-pollu...

What Would Jesus Do? Witnessing Without Judging
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 Jesus Do)I’ve been reading about how we should watch what we say and how we act and this came to mind. Why ever happened to it? Did we figure out what Jesus wo...
