November 3, 2022
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...
prayerNovember 2, 2022
“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-godNovember 1, 2022
November, already?Have you heard God? Is He actively speaking to us? Well, the answer to the last question in 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...
prayerOctober 31, 2022
You ever been praying for something in your life only to see the very thing you’ve been praying for land on someone else? I know I have, and I suspect you have too. But here is the good new when that happens. God is still answering prayers! He just hasn’t answered yours yet. It also doesn’t mean...
faithOctober 28, 2022
Have you ever given up or known someone who has because they said God never answered them? Maybe you have? I’m talking about giving up believing because your faith left you. Think back to the story of Peter and his crew when Jesus comes walking across the water in the midst of stormy seas. You se...
gods-faithfulnessOctober 27, 2022
Life changes but God remains the same! Yep, it’s true. Look it up. You see, God is going to continue to do what he’s always done and that is he heals and forgives us. He’s going to continue to watch over us and set our path. His path for us remains the same and His purpose hasn’t changed. What is...
identityOctober 26, 2022
I’m going to just put it out there and maybe it helps someone, life is hard. Listen, I struggled for so many years in my life just trying to figure out “who” I was. It was like I was always trying to compare myself and what I did to everyone around me. Sounds ridiculous to some but it was my stru...
changeOctober 25, 2022
Why does everything have to change all the time? I mean, what’s wrong with the way things are now? Well, if you’re asking yourself these same questions, you’re probably like me and on the express train to being an old geezer! Ha, I’m only joking, but sometimes with the pace that the world is chan...
faithOctober 24, 2022
I choose to be a believer 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 attempt at rebellion of Gods will for me, I scre...
repentanceOctober 21, 2022
I got to thinking about how life seems to ebb and flow with good times and bad. More specifically, I got to thinking about how we can get stuck in the bad. I’m talking about that “stop the world I just want to get off this ride” feeling. We’ve all had it, but what do we do to get off “that ride”?...
gossipOctober 20, 2022
So, I’m in meetings all day yesterday around a lot of people I’ve worked around for 23 years. It was generally filled with catching up with old colleagues, friends and hearing new company rumors. It’s the last part that causes me frustration. You see the Bible mentions that in the multitude of wo...
patienceOctober 19, 2022
Are the horrible election campaign ads ever going to stop? Good grief…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, “...
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...
words-powerOctober 14, 2022
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...
spiritual-growthOctober 13, 2022
So, I’m sitting at the Braves game yesterday waiting for the rain delay to end, randomly thinking I needed to wash my plane and for some reason, 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 simple task of...
forgivenessOctober 12, 2022
So hear’s a thought? So I’ve been talking all 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...
forgivenessOctober 11, 2022
In keeping with forgiveness, nobody ever suggested forgiving would be easy. I certainly didn’t and I’m not saying it is, because it’s not. But God challenges us by giving us the ability to forgive. But at the same time, it is one of the hardest things He asks us to do. But you can learn to forgiv...
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...
forgivenessOctober 7, 2022
As we ease into the weekend, I want to talk about something that caused me some restlessness last night. Forgiveness. You see, I had something come up yesterday where somebody has decided to not take responsibility for something they did to me. A random person, whom I don’t know, has decided not...
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...
callingOctober 4, 2022
Ever felt like sometimes you’re a “Yes Man”? Man I sure use to be, that’s for sure. 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...
hopeOctober 3, 2022
Last week I spend my vacation deep into the Ozark Mountains competing in a National Backcountry Flying event. I had zero, nada, zip, not even a little bit of cell service until I re-entered society yesterday. Let me tell you, it was amazing! There was probably over a thousand people there between...
hopeSeptember 26, 2022
Jesus said in John 16:33, “In this world, you will have trouble…”That’s almost like a disclaimer for life on earth , you are going to have trouble, whether you are in Christ or not. But the hope that we have is what separates us from the world, and that is why Jesus goes on to say, “But take hear...
