Jesus Doesn't Give Peace, He Is Peace
As I continue down this path of treatment now for the last four years, somethings happening. What started as my season full of anxiety and worry is becoming, oddly peaceful…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 thin...

Forgiveness Gets Easier with Practice
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...

And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”James 1:3-4 Look, I think it’s pretty evident that God s...

Finding God in Loneliness and Social Media's Lies
You ever get lonely even though you’re surrounded by people all the time? I do. With social media so prevalent in the world we live in these days, it’s easy to get caught up in what we are allowed to see of others. If we are not careful, it can lead us to believe we are alone. Look, I personally...

Seek Understanding Before Judging Others
“A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.”Proverbs 18:2 How quick do you judge others? How often do you feel misunderstood?

Hope in Hardship: When Prayers Seem Unanswered
Have you been praying for something for a long time and it hasn’t happened yet? I think at times we all have. Look, we all know that life isn't always easy, I dig it.

Words Like Honey: Speaking with Grace

What do the peopl...

Understanding God's No for Your Good
When we talk about our struggles and how we are just trying to get through “it” aren’t we really just talking about how we are to deal with God’s NO? I always tend to think about these things when we approach a new year and start making plans for “new year, new me” stuff. I mean think about most...

Sharing Jesus Like Your Favorite Discovery
It’s always amazing to me to watch trends “trend”. You know what I’m talking about, clothing styles, TV series, cars, sport teams, products, etc. Some of this didn’t exist not too long ago, some good, some not so good. Anyhow, it got me thinking, you ever get so pleased with a product or service...

When God Says No: Trusting His Perfect Plan
When we talk about our struggles and how we are just trying to get through “it” aren’t we really just talking about how we are to deal with God’s NO? I mean think about most of the disappointments you’ve experienced. Probably the one thing they all had in common is they didn’t fit into your plan...

Share Your Peace: Your Testimony Matters
So pay close attention to what I’m about to tell you. That peace that God has blessed you with that is getting you through or has gotten you though tough times, well it’s not just for you. Yep, it’s true. As a good friend on mine told many many years ago, “if you want to keep it, you gotta share...

You Are Exactly Where God Wants You Right Now
You are exactly where God wants you right now. Contrary to the Meme you saw on your friends feed that tells you otherwise.

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.””Joshua 1:9 When I think of being courageous, I think of the story of Peter and his willingness to step over in the storm and walk to Jesus on the...

Suffering Happens to All
It’s been a “challenging” week, but one last thing on Job and suffering and let’s ring in the weekend. Job was a tremendously righteous man and suffered greatly. So do we assume that the more righteous we are the more suffering we are to expect? Not necessarily. The large part of Job’s life featu...

Standing Firm: Finding Courage Through Trials in Christ
I want to stay with Paul in Philippians because I think it’s important to understand how he was using his imprisonments as an advantage to further the message of Christ. “so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righte...

Ever thought about what it means to have a good balance in your life? Have you ever sought to find it? I’m talking about when we starve ourselves from God’s word and the things He designed for us to utilize our lives for. We too often replace those things with short term, self-fulfilling solution...
