“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...
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...
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...
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...

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...
repentanceApril 2, 2025
I got to thinking about how life seems to ebb and flow with good times and bad. More specifically, I got to thinking about how we can get stuck in the bad. I’m talking about that “stop the world I just want to get off this ride” feeling. We’ve all had it, I’m on it now, but what do we do to get o...
prayerMarch 28, 2025
“Nobody stands as tall as a Christian on his knees”I love this anonymous quote. It reminds me to spend time on my knees and thank the Lord for all his blessings and forgiveness. I need it. And because I need it (forgiveness), and because he gave it, I am filled with His grace. God has me covered...
callingMarch 17, 2025
For much of my life I was a bit directionless. If someone asked me to do something and if it even kind of felt like a good idea, I would do it. I spread myself pretty thin. Because I could turn my hand to a number of things (to a certain degree) I was tempted to follow other people’s dreams and e...
identityMarch 10, 2025
So I had a great conversation down in Florida over the weekend with a buddy on this devotional chain about the different stages we’ve been through in life as it pertained to “stuff” we acquired. And when I mean stuff, I’m talking about the fancy cars and expansive homes, etc. We basically conclud...

I saw a video yesterday of PGA Tour player, Scottie Scheffler. He was talking about how he doesn’t play golf for money as his motivations aren’t money. Those that follow him and are a fan, know his motivation is being a good servant to The Lord. He reminds me of another high profile athlete who p...
gods-planJanuary 20, 2025
When we talk about our struggles and how we are just trying to get through “it” aren’t we really just talking about how we are to deal with God’s NO? I mean think about most of the disappointments you’ve experienced. Probably the one thing they all had in common is they didn’t fit into your plan...
sufferingJanuary 9, 2025
You ever notice that when we finally get out of whatever it is we are suffering from it never seems to be the way we thought we would get out of it? Like during our suffering we could never understand or see the way out that God has for us. It’s because it’s His plan for us not our plan for us. H...
new-yearJanuary 1, 2025
Happy New Year!While a new year is here and many are making resolutions, don’t forget we need to always be sharing the name who has delivered us, Jesus. Just yesterday, as I was driving home, a young man who I’ve come to know over that last year called me and asked advice on some personal reflect...
living-for-christDecember 27, 2024
“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”Philippians 1:21 Are you living “in Christ”? What I mean is that are you living for the pleasure and joys of the flesh that this world offers or are you living as a servant of Christ. What do we really have to lose as Christians? Nothing in this w...
freedom-in-christDecember 3, 2024
“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh a...
purposeNovember 22, 2024
Giving my current unique circumstances, I am wondering if I’m doing enough. Not enough by way of treatment, this isn’t a cancer thing, but enough by way of am I doing enough with what I have left. God has blessed me with certain skills, traits and talents. Am I using them correctly, efficiently?...
humilityNovember 18, 2024
These last few years have been somewhat disappointing but at the same time gratifying. You see, somewhere in the crazy journey of mine to grow my relationship with Christ, I think I’m beginning to learn what humility all means. For years I set my sights on accomplishing things that defined “who”...
surrenderNovember 12, 2024
What are you trying to hang on to that Jesus wants you to let go of, and turn it over to him for safekeeping? I’ve had to give up some things in my life that I thought I never could, but ultimately brought me closer to Christ. “This earth is not my home, I’m just passing through.” How many times...
patienceOctober 16, 2024
How are we doing waiting on God’s Plan for us? I ask because I’ve been a bit “all over the place” lately wanting to be done with treatments but knowing they’re going to be indefinite…it’s frustrating, but I have to relax and wait. “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wa...
sufferingSeptember 17, 2024
So, yesterday I was talking about my process and how I write our devotionals to a friend who is in the group. I was sharing how I love to go back on occasions and see what was on my heart on this date in time. Well, It’s funny how God will tap you on the shoulder to remind you sometimes that “thi...

prayerJuly 24, 2024
“But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.”Jeremiah 29:7 God didn’t put you where you are by mistake. He doesn’t make mistakes. When we believe in our hearts God is good and that His though...
