August 13, 2021
Welp, it’s been a really long and trying week and normally I would have something I thought was clever to talk about and how it relates to what I am studying in the word or what life has handed me...For this Friday, I think I will just let this speak for itself. “For I am sure that neither death...
peaceAugust 12, 2021
Can we have peace in our hearts when our world is turned upside down?Pretty good question that requires an honest look inward. You see the kind of peace the world give us is pretty sketch at best. It can change on a whim with no notice at all. Happen to me three weeks ago, may have happened to yo...
spiritual-growthAugust 11, 2021
So here’s a question for you. Are you living in growth mode with your relationship with Christ? What I mean is, are you actively reading, meditating and growing your relationship with God?Let’s be honest, none of are going truly going to “get there” with our relationship until we meet Jesus face...
mind-renewalAugust 10, 2021
Sorry I missed yesterday, I was having some technical difficulties post surgery. But I back! I want to talk about our mind, we don’t spend much time on it…Probably because I don’t use mine much. What are you thinking about? What are you feeding your mind? What we allow our minds to focus on influ...
gratitudeAugust 6, 2021
This one has to be written today. There’s is no other topic more important to me right now than this one and we have to talk about it. Work with me a minute…“give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”1 Thessalonians 5:18 So, what did Paul mean when he...
gods-guidanceAugust 5, 2021
My shortest one to date, but quite possibly the best and I don’t have to do a thing. Maybe you need this today as well. “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths o...
blessingsAugust 4, 2021
You ever stopped for a minute and looked around at all the blessings God has bestowed on you? I mean, look we all get excited and share His work when it’s something big like a new job, birth of a child, etc. But do you ever really stop and look around and see how His blessing are everywhere? Thin...
gratitudeAugust 3, 2021
“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.”Psalms 136:1 Today will be short and sweet because God Love is simple and pure and easy to talk about. We have so much to celebrate and be grateful for because His love is forever. As believers, we are called to cel...
contentmentAugust 2, 2021
“I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”Philippians 4:12-13So, we’ve all seen the scripture above and in most every case i...
trialsJuly 29, 2021
Take a walk with me today if you will…What I’m going to talk about today, I wasn’t going to bring up at all. But I love each and every one of you and at the suggestion of brother John, I’ve decided to share some personal news. (Thanks bud!)I find it interesting, but not surprising, that when you...
forgivenessJuly 28, 2021
I’m throwing it back today to some forgiveness because it’s in my mind this morning. “Forgiven people should be forgiving people”! Yes!You see, God gave us forgiveness and redemption through His son Jesus, why would we not deliver the same thing to those who hurt us? What makes His forgiveness un...
graceJuly 27, 2021
Grace. 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 favor. So,...
evangelismJuly 26, 2021
Being from Georgia, I get tickled at how the Chik Fil A craze has spread across the country. It’s good food and unparalleled service, what’s not to like right?It got me thinking, you ever get so pleased with a product or service you can’t wait to tell all your friends? I do all the time. I get so...
gods-planJuly 23, 2021
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...
sharing-faithJuly 22, 2021
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...
gods-willJuly 21, 2021
You are exactly where God wants you right now. Contrary to the Meme you saw on your friends feed that tells you otherwise. You see when God is in us, we can trust He is going to get us to the other side. He is going to use the situation you are in for good. Although we sometimes can’t see what or...
peaceJuly 20, 2021
Can we have peace in our hearts when our world is turned upside down?Pretty good question that requires an honest look inward. You see the kind of peace the world give us is pretty sketch at best. It can change on a whim with no notice at all. Happen to me just last week, may have happened to you...
courageJuly 19, 2021
“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...
sufferingJuly 16, 2021
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...
sufferingJuly 15, 2021
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...
gratitudeJuly 14, 2021
You ever take a minute and look around your life and reflect on the blessing He has given you? I’m sure you have, we all do at times. This morning, as I was digging into the word, I was reflecting on some of those things and it struck me that much of what I was grateful for were things of this wo...
complainingJuly 13, 2021
So, I’m still reading and working through Philippians and this happens;“Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,”Philippians...
salvationJuly 12, 2021
Hope everyone is doing well, I’m a little jet lagged, but otherwise no worse for the wear. Funny, I saw a couple of you at domestic baggage claim about 7 hours ago. Hope you made it home alright. Ok, so last week we talked about being a good witness for Christ, bearing good fruit and trying to be...
witnessingJuly 6, 2021
So I’ve been reading through Philippians and talking about how we need to get to work to spread the word of Jesus. It’s been enlightening reading about Paul and his struggles and his witness. But it’s been brought up to me and asked, “how exactly do we be an effective witness?”Well, look at it li...
