April 5, 2022
I’ve really been digging into forgiveness, so bear with me a little. It’s on my heart and I’m tuned in right now. Let’s talk repentance, something I know a lot about. “Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against you seven t...
forgivenessApril 4, 2022
Let’s pull that bandaid off this morning on one of my favorite topics and get the week started off right!“Do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you” Luke 6:27-28 Wow, this is a tough one...We are called to forgive those that hurt us, unconditionally...
compassionMarch 23, 2022
So, I’ve been thinking about what is really means to have compassion. I pray nightly that God lays compassion on my heart towards others...specifically those who oppose me. It’s hard these days with so many labels, differences of opinion, lifestyles, etc. to always connect with people. Anyhow, we...
loveMarch 21, 2022
I don’t know about you but I’ve got to do better at turning off gossip when I hear it. I also need to not “enable it” when I hear it by giving a participatory laugh or, “now way!” It just makes it worse. It seems as if now days we believe the negative stuff about people more than the positive stu...
gratitudeFebruary 25, 2022
“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’s 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 c...
forgivenessFebruary 23, 2022
“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 unconditional and our’s subjective? It doesn’t and it shouldn’t. I’m not saying that it...
compassionFebruary 13, 2022
So I’ve been thinking about what is really means to have compassion. I pray nightly that God lays compassion on my heart towards others...specifically those who oppose me. It’s hard these days with so many labels, differences of opinion, lifestyles, etc. to always connect with people. Take the po...
gratitudeFebruary 11, 2022
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...
witnessingFebruary 9, 2022
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...
serviceFebruary 8, 2022
We have a lot of work to do yet. We need to always be sharing the name who has delivered us, Jesus. Now is the time to reach out to a world that needs to feel the love of Christ. Now is the time to help people experience forgiveness and receive unconditional love! I believe it has been in God’s p...
humilityFebruary 7, 2022
“So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility coun...
gospel-sharingFebruary 2, 2022
I wanted to touch on a something that has been with me the last few days. It’s a thought centering around my own sharing of the gospel and the sharing I receive from others. More specifically who “should and shouldn’t be sharing”? “Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from...
faithFebruary 1, 2022
As I sit here watching the sun come up this morning, I can’t help but marvel at the beauty God has made. How do I know he made it? Well, I have faith that he did. It’s the same faith that I have in Him that allows me to grow closer to Him. You see, developing a love for God is a little more chall...
relationshipsJanuary 31, 2022
So, we’ve been talking about seeking balance in our lives and our relationships with God by showing compassion and serving others. What’s interesting though, is this has me circling back to our discussion of the “Golden Rule” and how that affects our relationship with other and our relationship w...
balanceJanuary 28, 2022
You have any balance to your life? Would you know what it was if you had it? I got to thinking about how we get started exactly? First, we need to have that desire to serve God. How can I help my brother or sister, assist someone in need, give within my abilities or even greater, give when I feel...
immanuelJanuary 25, 2022
“"Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel" (which means, God with us).”Matthew 1:23 Have you ever thought about why God sent Jesus? It’s pretty amazing to think about. God could have chosen any number of ways to save us. But He sent His Son, Jesus,...
graceJanuary 24, 2022
“And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her."”John 8:7 In a world where opinions can go viral minutes after they’re posted, and social media debates go from zero to 100 in a hot second, it’s wise to re...
restorationJanuary 7, 2022
The definition of restore is to “bring back”, reinstate. Many of us are always working to restore our relationship with Christ. We are always coming back to seeking Him. But you see, God is always the pursuer of the lost and rebellious. God is always the pursuer, the seeker, the good shepherd in...
witnessingDecember 23, 2021
I know I’ve written about this before, but y’all remember the WWJD bracelets we use to wear?I’ve been reading about how we should watch what we say and how we act and this came to mind. What ever happened to it? Did we figure out what Jesus would do? Did we stop caring? Well, I think it would be...
fearDecember 6, 2021
Sorry I went dark on everyone, I took some much needed time off and went to Florida…so, back to business. I’m sure I’m like the rest of us when I say I’m bad about fear and worry. No matter how much I KNOW my life is in Gods hands and he always provides, I still get caught in worry. When that hap...
loveNovember 29, 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...
resurrectionNovember 23, 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...

salvationNovember 15, 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 We see it everywhere, it’s been commercialized, advertised and immortalized by famous athletes and commoners alike. But why shouldn’t it? It’s the single core a...
