- Decision Making
Trusting God for Life's Big Decisions
It’s hard making big decisions in life. Often times we put it off or because we are so afraid we don’t make them at all. But in those circumstances that demand a grown up response, those who trust in God can look to him for guidance. That’s the only way I know how to make them. In the Bible David...

Between Sundays: Living Your Faith Every Day
What are you doing? I don’t mean what are you doing right now, but what are you doing in your life and how are you dong it?I ask myself this question a lot. I ask it not in relation to my career or anything, I ask myself this as it pertains to what am I doing and how am I doing it?Are our weekend...

Gospel Through Chains: Finding Purpose in Trials
“I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel, so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ. And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprison...

The Heart of Gratitude: Learning from the Ten Lepers
Listen, you ever held the door for someone these days and they don’t say thank you or even acknowledge the act of kindness? I have and I see it happening more and more in all areas of our lives. Sadly, when people are treated with courtesy, sometimes there is no acknowledgement or appreciation. W...
- Service
God Uses Your Talents to Serve Others
So, in my ongoing search to be a better person, I would always ask God to help me become “a better man.” Funny thing is, I wasn’t exactly sure what that meant. I just knew that it wasn’t who I was feeling I was inside. Well, a funny thing happened...You see, while I was searching and hoping that...
- Forgiveness
Forgive Without Limit for True Peace
I was thinking on forgiveness a little more over the weekend, and I just want to say, forgiveness is not easy. But no matter how many times a person hurts you, you got to forgive them without limit. I know, I get it, but we have to. To forgive doesn’t mean to forget. You don’t have to reconcile w...
- Forgiveness
Forgiveness Sets You Free
One of my most favorite topics to discuss is forgiveness. If you’ve been in this devotional journey with me for the last seven and a half years, you know I like to talk about it. But why you may ask? Well, it’s forgiveness that has given us the hope for an eternal life with our maker and it’s for...
- Talents
Don't Hide Your God-Given Talents
Are you sitting on your talents God has blessed you with ?“"For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. He who had receiv...

Be Watchful: Your Adversary Prowls Like a Roaring Lion
“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while...

Are You a CEO Christian?
Are you a “CEO”? I’m talking about a “Christmas and Easter Only” Christian. You see, it’s easy to fall into to the trap of only talking about our love of Christ at Christmas and Easter but that are we talking about the rest together year?Let’s take a minute and think about what we are always “tal...
- Discipleship
Deny Yourself and Follow Jesus
“Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his s...
- Mindset
The Power of Your Mind
“As he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7Lets talk about the strongest part of our body. The most powerful. Our minds. While admittedly, some of us may not exercise that part as much as we should or as others, it’s still not arguable that it’s the most powerful. Our minds control our...
- Pride
When Hate Is Pride Leaving the Body
This has been an emotional roller coaster week for me and I’ve had plenty to think about…the reality of life for one, so it got me thinking. How often do you find yourself hating on things? Oh, I do all the time. I hate this traffic, I hate all this rain, I hate this time of year where I make 37...
- Truth And Grace
Finding Balance Between Truth and Grace
So I’ve been reading a little and diving into the idea of Truth and Grace as it pertains to us and how we may identify with one or the other. Let me explain. “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and trut...
- Prayer
What Do You Want? Just Ask Him
“Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.”John 16:24 So, we’ve been talking about how Jesus is still, and always has been, in the prayer answering business. But here is the big question; what do you want? You can pray for big things and sm...
- Hearing God
God Is Speaking - Are You Listening?
Have you heard God? Is He actively speaking to us? Well, the answer to the last question is a most definite yes. But here’s the deal, I haven’t heard Him with my own ears in the literal sense, but I most certainly do hear him. You see God can speak to us in a number of ways. The most obvious way...

Yielding to God's Plan Brings Miracles
Not only do I choose to be a believer for my eternal salvation, but so that God can make miracles happen in my life.You see, every time I have tried and figure things out myself, I’ve failed. Oh, don’t get me wrong, my intentions were always good but my plan was mine. And in my unconscious attemp...
- Patience
Learning Patience Under Pressure
A simple thought to start your week…We live in a world that is going by so fast that finding patience is becoming a lost art. However, one of the best ways to be patient is to carry on with life, knowing God is in control...not you. I will say it one more time, “God is in control, not you.” “Not...
- Prayer
Standing Tall on Your Knees
“Nobody stands as tall as a Christian on his knees”I love this anonymous quote. It reminds me to spend time on my knees and thank the Lord for all his blessings and forgiveness. I need it. And because I need it (forgiveness), and because he gave it, I am filled with His grace. God has me covered...
- Words Matter
Set a Guard Over My Mouth
You ever opened your mouth and said something you wish you didn’t? Maybe it was out of anger or maybe it was meant to be harmless but without thinking it came out wrong and hurt others? I swear, I do it sometimes without thinking and can’t believe myself afterwards…a lot is tied to my odd sense o...

More Than a Spiritual Rinse - Seeking God with Your Heart
Well, spring has sprung as my allergies have alerted me of this fact. Anyhow, I’m randomly thinking I needed to wash my plane due to the long winter and pollen, I reminded myself of a saying I heard somewhere along the way that said, “it’s not clean until a rags hit it”. Got me thinking that this...
- Forgiveness
To Be Forgiven, You Must Forgive Others
So hear’s a thought…I’ve been talking last week about forgiving and how we can and should. But do you want others to forgive you? Even more importantly, do you want God to forgive you? My cousin and I talked about this just last night. You see, in order to be forgiven, you also have to be able to...

Learning to Forgive - The Path to Inner Peace
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...
- Calling
Finding Your God-Given Calling Amidst Life's Distractions
For much of my life I was a bit directionless. If someone asked me to do something and if it even kind of felt like a good idea, I would do it. I spread myself pretty thin. Because I could turn my hand to a number of things (to a certain degree) I was tempted to follow other people’s dreams and e...
