It’s hard making big decisions in life. Often times we put it off or because we are so afraid we don’t make them at all. But in those circumstances that demand a grown up response, those who trust in God can look to him for guidance. That’s the only way I know how to make them. In the Bible David...
daily-livingMay 6, 2025
What are you doing? I don’t mean what are you doing right now, but what are you doing in your life and how are you dong it?I ask myself this question a lot. I ask it not in relation to my career or anything, I ask myself this as it pertains to what am I doing and how am I doing it?Are our weekend...
decision-makingMay 5, 2025
You know, we hear a lot about what people who have done wrong and whether or not someone is guilty or not. Just turn on the news and you can have your fill in just about a minute. But here is something I’ve been thinking about and I think it bears discussing. It’s the decision making process wher...
trialsMay 2, 2025
“I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel, so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ. And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprison...

If we are going to be thankful and live a life of gratitude, He must become number one. “He must increase, but I must decrease."”John 3:30 Work with me a little, what are we doing here? What is reading the Bible, prayer, and Christianity all about? It’s about loving God and others, right? It’s fo...
gratitudeApril 30, 2025
Listen, you ever held the door for someone these days and they don’t say thank you or even acknowledge the act of kindness? I have and I see it happening more and more in all areas of our lives. Sadly, when people are treated with courtesy, sometimes there is no acknowledgement or appreciation. W...
serviceApril 29, 2025
So, in my ongoing search to be a better person, I would always ask God to help me become “a better man.” Funny thing is, I wasn’t exactly sure what that meant. I just knew that it wasn’t who I was feeling I was inside. Well, a funny thing happened...You see, while I was searching and hoping that...
forgivenessApril 28, 2025
I was thinking on forgiveness a little more over the weekend, and I just want to say, forgiveness is not easy. But no matter how many times a person hurts you, you got to forgive them without limit. I know, I get it, but we have to. To forgive doesn’t mean to forget. You don’t have to reconcile w...
forgivenessApril 25, 2025
One of my most favorite topics to discuss is forgiveness. If you’ve been in this devotional journey with me for the last seven and a half years, you know I like to talk about it. But why you may ask? Well, it’s forgiveness that has given us the hope for an eternal life with our maker and it’s for...
talentsApril 24, 2025
Are you sitting on your talents God has blessed you with ?“"For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. He who had receiv...
spiritual-warfareApril 23, 2025
“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while...

Are you a “CEO”? I’m talking about a “Christmas and Easter Only” Christian. You see, it’s easy to fall into to the trap of only talking about our love of Christ at Christmas and Easter but that are we talking about the rest together year?Let’s take a minute and think about what we are always “tal...
discipleshipApril 21, 2025
“Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his s...
mindsetApril 18, 2025
“As he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7Lets talk about the strongest part of our body. The most powerful. Our minds. While admittedly, some of us may not exercise that part as much as we should or as others, it’s still not arguable that it’s the most powerful. Our minds control our...
healingApril 17, 2025
Ok, here’s the deal. We can only break our dependency on defining ourselves by our circumstances if we wrestle with Jesus’ question: Do you want to get well?If we genuinely desire wellness in all areas of our lives: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, we must let go of the labels we have allo...
prideApril 16, 2025
This has been an emotional roller coaster week for me and I’ve had plenty to think about…the reality of life for one, so it got me thinking. How often do you find yourself hating on things? Oh, I do all the time. I hate this traffic, I hate all this rain, I hate this time of year where I make 37...
truth-and-graceApril 15, 2025
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...
prayerApril 14, 2025
“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-godApril 11, 2025
Have you heard God? Is He actively speaking to us? Well, the answer to the last question is 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 most obvious way...
prayerApril 10, 2025
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 news when that happens. God is still answering prayers! He just hasn’t answered yours yet. It also doesn’t mean...
faith-journeyApril 9, 2025
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-faithfulnessApril 8, 2025
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...
identityApril 7, 2025
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...
changeApril 4, 2025
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! I’m only joking, but sometimes with the pace that the world is changing...
