“There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

Strong in Weakness
Hope everyone’s week is off to a great start. I want to shift gears this week by discussing probably my most favorite verse in the Bible;“So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass...

“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.”Philippians 2:3 ESVSo we all have to deal with pride, lust and entitlement to some degree.

You Have a Gift to Share
Did you know you have a gift to share? You do, whether you are aware of it or not you’ve got one.

How Thoughts Affect Our Physical Health
In an effort to better understand why/how someone suffers from depression, I’ve been digging into The Word and reading all I can.

You Cannot Serve God and Money
So, I want to keep on track this week about some of the things that in many ways separate us from our relationship with God. The pursuit of “more” is definitely one of those things...“He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity...

- Good Friday
Why Good Friday is Truly Good
To the non-believer, today is just Friday. To us, Christians, it’s Good Friday! But why is it good? Most would say it’s the day that Jesus suffered and died on the cross at Mt. Calvary. Tortured and ridiculed as he bled out and died a most graphic death. Why call it good? Good because His death w...

When Words Are Better Left Unspoken
I got to thinking over the last week how some things are better left unspoken; don’t give them airtime. In other words, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all...right?

We will all face those times in our lives when we question whether or not God is on our side. In September of 2016, I was seriously injured doing what I love, racing motocross. I broke my jaw requiring plates and screws and my back at the T5,6&7. While the weather was great that fall, I was laid...
