“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."”John 16:33 Do you ever feel like life is one problem after another?You make it through one issue, but before you can recover another one shoots up....
fearDecember 7, 2023
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 happens, I think we are not necessarily driving God away, but we are certainly keeping him at bay. “There is...
courageNovember 29, 2023
“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 Hearing that you should be strong and courageous is a lofty notion. It’s a pretty great idea. It’s something nice to hear. But God step...
restraintNovember 28, 2023
I got to thinking over the last week how some things are better left unspoken; don’t give them airtime. In other words, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all...right? Proverbs 10:19 “In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is wise”.Some th...
courageOctober 26, 2023
“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 Some people seem to play life so safe against risk that they have little or no strength left to pursue their dreams and accomplish thei...
attitudeSeptember 21, 2023
Attitude determines so much of our lives. It governs the way we perceive the world and the way the world perceives us. It drives behavior and sets the tone for conversations. Attitude literally affects every area of our lives, yet most of us don’t have a good handle on it...but we can. I’m trying...
fearSeptember 20, 2023
23So, I’m talking to one of my flying buddies on the phone yesterday and we were discussing our faith and how we rely on it when we are faced with fear. After we talked I pondered on our chat for a while and one of the things I kept coming back to is what and why I feared some of the things I’ve...
faithSeptember 12, 2023
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...
anxietySeptember 11, 2023
Are we addressing the real issues in our anxiety over what the future holds? Is our anxiety a product of not knowing what the future holds? I submit to you that we are anxious because we are trying to control what happens and not truly giving our lives to God to navigate. We may “believe” he has...
wisdomAugust 30, 2023
You ever come across someone that you really wanted to give your “two cents” to but thought better of it? You know the type, the ones who no amount of me “being right” was going to change this persons views and nothing would have been gained...the earth is crawling with them and they seem to be g...
courageJuly 28, 2023
“Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me. I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have...
inner-peaceJuly 27, 2023
23It’s 5:15 am as I write this morning and I’m sitting here by the water watching God wake up the world. The waves are gently crashing and the morning sky is slowly glowing pink. It’s so peaceful…makes me wish it could stay this way. Perpetual peace. Ever felt this way?We live in a world where th...
graceJuly 17, 2023
So I talk about finding peace and serenity a lot. I sign off with “Grace wins” everyday. So I thought we’d talk about the Grace. Grace is, as the acronym states, God’s riches at Christ’s expense. Grace is what opens the door to salvation. And just as grace precedes salvation, grace also always pr...
peaceJuly 14, 2023
Are you truly experiencing the Lord’s peace in your life?In both Hebrew and Greek, the words for peace have a similar meaning. They mean that you have an inner calm. Things might be falling apart around you, but inside you can experience tranquility. You’re as cool as the other side of the pillow...
restJuly 13, 2023
I was reading some Max Lucado regarding Psalm 23. The Psalm of David. When we are exhausted and emotionally spent we need to lean into the truth of Scripture and realize that The Lord refreshes our soul. We have everything we need to find rest from life’s crap with Jesus as our shepherd. We can’t...
forgivenessJuly 3, 2023
Today you may have a specific person in mind that you need to forgive. Some of us have had very painful things happen to us, even a long time ago, that need to be forgiven. Forgiveness is truly freedom for our hearts, and peace for our soul. But aside from being able to forgive and put major issu...
peaceMay 3, 2023
Life can get really busy sometimes with hectic schedules, financial pressures, and various commitments, so much so that it can be easy to allow that busyness to crush the real meaning of why we exist. So let’s pause, take a breath, and bring perspective.“And let the peace of Christ rule in your h...
lightApril 27, 2023
What does “be a light” mean? Well, I’m guessing it means to be the light of Jesus in a world of darkness. And man, we sure seem to be living in that world right now...But I think I means bringing peace to our surroundings. By being a peacemaker. “How blessed you are when you make peace! For then...
fearApril 24, 2023
Don’t know about you, but the older I get the more I seem to fear change. The funny thing is, as I said Friday, it’s usually resting of some false nothing of what this change may be. I remember being a kid and being afraid of going somewhere or doing something and I always wanted my dad with me....
fearApril 21, 2023
What are you afraid of? For most of us, it’s usually something that isn’t really something we should be afraid of, but we have manifested it in our mind that we have created this fear from nothing. There is a great acronym I like regarding FEAR; False Evidence, Appearing, Real. You see most of ou...
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...
wanderingApril 3, 2023
Ever noticed that those that seem to wander never seem to be settled? I guess what I am saying is that there are people we come across in our lives, could even be us, that never truly find peace and serenity in their lives because they keep looking for it. They keep trying to plot their own cours...
fearMarch 22, 2023
223/22/23“Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you."Deuteronomy 31:6 You know, I was thinking about what I fear and one of the fears was loneliness. I don’t think anyone wants to be lonely. Wh...
peaceMarch 2, 2023
443/2/23Ugh! The state of the country and the world that we are being presented with has become nauseating. Listen, I’ve had something eating at me for a while now and I just haven’t put together what it is that I wanted to say about it. But I have now, so here it is…Jesus died for us ALL, not ju...
