“Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.”Ephesians 4:29 You can do more damage with your words than you can with any other part of your body or any other thing you have control over....
reconciliationApril 14, 2023
I had someone tell me years ago, “do you want to be happy or right?” Pretty good question I think, because we all want to be happy and we usually want to be right. Right? Think about the last argument you had, did you win? Did you prove you were right at the expense of the other person? You may h...

But, you know what, I know they will eventually pass and today is a beautiful new day full of hope!So, as we move forward this week, take time to think about the unfailing love of God. Despite our sinful...
blessingsFebruary 17, 2023
So, to take us into the weekend, I thought I’d have a little fun but ask a serious question too. First, I grabbed a verse from James. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.”James 1:17 N...

hopeFebruary 1, 2023
So, we have been talking about being grateful and giving thanks for all our blessings. But a lot of times when we look to find those blessings we get tripped up by disappointments. These disappointments come from where we put our hope and expectations. You see, expectations is a basic belief some...
passionJanuary 6, 2023
This week we’ve been hosting a young college student at our home who’s been attending the Passion conference in Atlanta. It’s been awesome to see his excitement and enthusiasm for the Lord this week. Last night he was telling us about how Tim Tebow, the ex quarterback now sports announcer, was ta...
hopeJanuary 4, 2023
You know, Hope is a word that gets used a lot these days. I hope you’re doing well, I hope you’re doing good, etc. I’m sure if you sniffed around a while you’d find some group using it as a campaign slogan…At any rate, Isaiah tells us that the source of our hope is the source of our strength. If...
sufferingJanuary 2, 2023
Happy New Year! I’m still tired from that Saturday of football games! “And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.”1 Peter 5:10 I love this verse from Peter. You...
joyDecember 27, 2022
I generally would describe myself as a positive person with a hopeful outlook on things. Maybe you do to?But do you feel like you spend a lot of time dwelling on the negatives? Oftentimes, we let our circumstances overwhelm us. We focus on the moment and forget that there is something bigger and...
prayerNovember 2, 2022
“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...
hopeOctober 3, 2022
Last week I spend my vacation deep into the Ozark Mountains competing in a National Backcountry Flying event. I had zero, nada, zip, not even a little bit of cell service until I re-entered society yesterday. Let me tell you, it was amazing! There was probably over a thousand people there between...
hopeSeptember 26, 2022
Jesus said in John 16:33, “In this world, you will have trouble…”That’s almost like a disclaimer for life on earth , you are going to have trouble, whether you are in Christ or not. But the hope that we have is what separates us from the world, and that is why Jesus goes on to say, “But take hear...
wordsSeptember 14, 2022
Let’s talk about the words that come out of our mouths for a moment. These words can be from in person speech to the written word…they can also be from how we respond to someone’s comments as well. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.”Proverbs...
disappointmentSeptember 9, 2022
Ever feel like you could just scream or punch something? Man, sometimes life and people will disappoint you, let you down and just have you shaking your head...I think is happens to us all at times. You see, no matter how much we want to put our hope and aspirations on people and things of this w...

For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”Joshua 1:8 We are talking about hope and yo...
perseveranceAugust 26, 2022
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. And more so for a Christian who wants to live a life contrary to the world's philosophies. Sometimes it is tempting to throw in th...
gratitudeAugust 24, 2022
So I was reflecting on a few thing from over the weekend and specifically how thankful I am to have the people that I do in my life. I try the best I can to let you know how grateful that I truly am for you, but I may not be saying it as directly as I need to. Maybe you have people in your life t...
testimonyJuly 26, 2022
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-loveJuly 18, 2022
“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of...
christian-communityJuly 11, 2022
So, as I’ve spent the weekend recovering from surgery I was inundated with friends and family reaching out showing support, praying over me and even bringing food and offering help. I couldn’t help but to write something about how we as Christians support one another...so I went digging. “And let...
peaceJune 2, 2022
So I’ve been reading and writing about “finding peace” of and on for a year now. To me, it is one of the most essential parts of my relationship with Christ. My vision of Jesus, in part, is peace. But I have learned recently about a phrase that young students in seminary school are taught and tha...
evangelismMarch 25, 2022
What are you really into? What do you spend most your time thinking and talking about?Most that know me would say that I’m really into flying, motocross or being with my dogs. But is that what they will say when I’m gone? I hope not. I hope I’m remembered as a man who also talked about his love o...
hopeJanuary 10, 2022
“So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light and momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen....
