What Is Grace Exactly?
#TBT9/25/19Grace. 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...

When God Says No: He's Saving You From Yourself
I had an idea over the weekend. I thought I’d do a look back as to what we talked about this time last year and see where we are today. Should be fun, so take the time to read what we talked about a year ago this week and reflect on if we have applied anything. Am I better, worse, same?9/20/2019I...
- Judgment
The Speck and the Plank: Why We Judge Others
It sure is easy see the speck in somebody else’s eye. But the plank in our own? What plank? Why do we do that? “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in y...
- Self Righteousness
The Danger of Self-Righteousness
Alright, I will say it first...I can be self righteous. I’m pretty sure we all can if we are being honest. It’s almost human nature. I’m fact, Jesus knew it. You see, to be self righteous simply means we think we’ve met God’s standards in our own eyes. When was the last time you said or thought,...
- Procrastination
Breaking Free from Procrastination
There will always be distractions in life because we know from scripture that the agenda of the enemy is to steal, kill and destroy.Procrastination is a time stealer, and it simply means to put off intentionally doing something that should be done. I have been guilty of this often, and I have mis...
- Time Stewardship
Investing Time in What Matters Most
Well, I tried the best I could to stay on schedule with last weeks devotionals but lack of technology won.

Strong in Weakness: When God's Power Shines

God's Gift of Time: Making Every Moment Count
You ever wonder why as we get older time seems to just fly by? Well, years ago I heard a preacher talk about this and he gave a really great explanation. You see, think back to when you were a little boy or girl and you wanted a new ball glove, baby doll or whatever. Maybe your parents said, “nex...
- Detours
Why Detours Are Good Things That Feel Bad
I don’t know about you, but when I think back on the road God has sent me down in my life, it a miracle I ended up here. I mean, I’m probably no alone in that the path we’ve all taken has been full of detours and side roads along the way. But as I reflected over the long weekend while I flew and...

Understanding Life's Detours in God's Plan
We always run into detours or audibles in the road map or play book of our lives. We all do. Especially in our relationship with Christ. But why?

Seeking God First in a Social Media World
Most of you know me pretty well and know I am a sucker for some good social media. I really do enjoy it (when it’s not politics and hate).

- Suffering
God's Plan Through Our Suffering
You ever notice that when we finally get out of whatever it is we are suffering from it never seems to be the way we thought we would get out of it? Like during our suffering we could never understand or see the way out that God has for us. It’s because it’s His plan for us not our plan for us. H...

God's Unfolding Plan: Miracles in His Perfect Timing
God’s Plan for our life is unfolding before us but often times it’s not visible to us. Most of the time I would say it’s happening so slowly that I’m not sure if it’s happening.

Why Does God Let Bad Things Happen?
Why do we sometimes get frustrated or angry with God? Let’s face it, we all do it.
