April 7, 2021
So, I want to keep on track this week about some of the things that in many ways separate us from our relationship with God. The pursuit of “more” is definitely one of those things...“He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity...
evangelismApril 1, 2021
So far this week we’ve talked about what God did for us by sending his one and only son to die for our sins. We’ve talked about loving God passionately and loving others selflessly. But how do we really share the Gospel? By staying on a mission! Now you and I know about God’s grace and the salvat...
loveMarch 31, 2021
Following Jesus truly comes down to two things: Love God passionately, and love people selflessly! Our world we live in is starved for love! Not the fake, strings attached kind of love, but the real kind of love that only comes from God. That’s the kind we get from a relationship with God that we...
salvationMarch 30, 2021
“Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?"”John 11:25-26 That’s really all there is to it, isn’t it? I mean, just believe that Jesus died for yo...

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.”Revelation 3:20 One of the most powerful things you need to understand as you Follow Jesus is how much God loves you, He isn't interested in some religious...
gentle-wordsMarch 24, 2021
I’ve always been known as someone who “tells is like it is”. I’ve taken pride in the you may not like what I say, but I will always tell you like I see it. Well, maybe I need to work on the way in which I deliver my message...maybe you do too.I/we need to understand and leverage the power of gent...
salvationMarch 22, 2021
“"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”John 3:16 So this morning’s verse on my phone popped up and it was John 3:16. We see it everywhere, it’s been commercialized, advertised and immortalized by famous athlet...
gods-rulesMarch 15, 2021
What “rules” do you play by? Human rules versus God’s rules?You see, we add things to God’s rules and think it helps people. Usually, it causes people to take their eyes off God’s rules and put them on our rules. Soon, our rules become more important than God’s. Love one another. Forgive anyone w...
gods-omniscienceFebruary 9, 2021
It’s not #throwbackthursday but I was reading last night about this very topic and it reminded me of this one from a year or so ago...God knows you, he made you. So who are trying to kid? Why are we trying to hide from God? He can read our mind... “You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you...
prayerFebruary 5, 2021
Every once in a while I will stop, take a breath and really listen. What I mean is we live in such a fast paced world and our brains pick up on things that provide stimulus to us an it deciphers what we are hearing or reading without us consciously really reading or hearing it. You dig what I’m t...
unconditional-loveFebruary 4, 2021
I don’t know about you, but I get the “I don’t deserve this...” feeling a lot when I think about what God has done for me and my life. His salvation alone can be bewildering at times. It’s the opinion we have about ourselves and our past or present. You see, we have one set of convictions about o...
spiritual-awakeningFebruary 2, 2021
Hey, you ever get that feeling like there is something more? That you are chasing something in life that won’t fully satisfy you? I have. Pay close attention to that feeling though, it’s from God. We see people everyday who seem to be “put together”. People that have a lot of seat time in church...
fellowshipFebruary 1, 2021
“For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them."”Matthew 18:20 So, with the pandemic restrictions loosening this year around visiting my brokers in person, it’s been nice to get to see folks face to face. Last week, a broker I work with and I were talking shop and the next...
attitudeJanuary 19, 2021
Continuing with attitude, we need to look at what influences our attitudes. Most often than not, it’s the people around us that tend to shape our attitudes. To change our attitude, we may need to change who we are letting influence us. The words of the people closest to us permeate our heart, whi...
fellowshipJanuary 8, 2021
We’ve talked about having Faith for the past couple of days now and I’d like to close the week by wrapping up how we exercise that Faith in overcoming our troubles and fears through fellowship with others. When was the last time you shared your fears and struggles with a close friends? You see, w...
faithJanuary 7, 2021
So I made the comment yesterday that, “Believing is not Faith”. I’m confident of this and I believe that, while related, they are drastically different. Faith is not believing in God’s goodness only when we are out of the storm; faith is believing in God’s goodness right in the middle of it. The...
new-yearDecember 31, 2020
Yeah today is New Years Eve, but in reality its just the day before tomorrow. Don’t get me wrong, I’m ready to see “2020” go just as much as the next guy because I could have done better. I’m not saying I didn’t have many blessings to be thankful for this year, I did. I’m just saying in some area...
communicationDecember 29, 2020
So, my readings of late are taking me down the road of conversations we have with others, how not to be in a comparison game with others and generally how to “be Nice” and not be offensive. I’m told at times I can be “to honest” and not sensitive to others although I never intend to offend anyone...
offenseDecember 28, 2020
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Remember that growing up?How awesome would it be if that statement were true? Oftentimes it is far easier to heal a broken bone than it is to heal the wound caused by something someone said that deeply offended us. One of the top...
spiritual-growthDecember 23, 2020
Sometimes I like to look back at what we were talking about and where my mind was on this date a year or even two years ago. Well, this was great and I wanted to share it again...flashback Wednesday? Ha!12/23/19So, as I was washing my race bike on Saturday following a great practice session, for...
integrityDecember 22, 2020
So, not long ago I was writing about integrity and what it means, how we get it, etc...Well, as I’m studying and thinking about the topic of integrity again, my sweet puppy Emma is laying on my leg. She goes everywhere with me and is just so full of love. I would love to love unconditionally like...
gratitudeDecember 17, 2020
I am so grateful for each of you. I’m feeling it and I want to talk about it. The last couple days I have had the chance to communicate with a few of you and you have filled my heart with happiness because you told me you look forward each morning to our little devotional. This makes me smile and...
identityDecember 10, 2020
12/9 & 12/10(Had a senior moment yesterday...worked on the devotional and forgot to send...sorry)You ever wonder if you’re being who God wants you to be or who others think you should be?“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to...
kindnessDecember 1, 2020
“"He who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty.”Job 6:14 In the Bible we are told that during Job’s time of grieving, his three friends came to mourn with him and to comfort him. For the first 7 days they sat and wept with him because he was in deep sorrow. “No one sp...
