Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of my fathers passing so I thought I’d look back to last year and see where I was...“8/23/19This is a hard morning to write to you all as within the hour or sending our message out yesterday, my father passed away. But I’m not going to sit here and talk about...
angerAugust 17, 2020
Ever get mad? Sure you do, we all do. I get so mad at the people who haven’t learned that the left lane is for passing only, not cruising, I work myself into a mess! I mean how can people operate with this level of stupidity and selfishness? Anyhow, where was I going with this? Oh yeah...Sometime...
hopeAugust 12, 2020
Read this and for a second, think about what is going on here:“And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse, so that most of them said, "He is dead." But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.”Mark 9:26-27 You see, Jesus’ love a...
gods-presenceJuly 13, 2020
You ever get the feeling sometimes that when we sin, that God has left you? Like the feeling you had when you were a kid and you got in trouble with your parents and they punished you and during that moment you felt like they have left you? I have for sure. But the thing is, that feeling that our...
blessingsJune 18, 2020
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”Matthew 28:19 So, let talk about these blessing we’ve been given. I got to thinking more about why, at certain times, we feel we are blessed more than others. And by “o...
opportunityJune 4, 2020
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about some of my habits, but good and bad, and how I’ve been using the talents God has blessed me with. More specifically, am I taking about the opportunities He’s put before me and if I’m using them? Well, I hope so and I hope you are too. But understand, opportun...
worshipMay 27, 2020
You know, we are all pushed in many ways by others in directions that can alter our relationship with Christ. I read a quote yesterday that said, “don’t let someone who didn’t die for affect the way you worship someone who did.” Wow, I love it. We read in Revelations, “When I saw him, I fell at h...
gods-giftsMay 22, 2020
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. I grabbed 1:17, because my race number is 117. Why not right? “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with who...
humilityMay 19, 2020
You ever slowed down enough to take a look at how self obsessed our culture has become today? Man, I have. Everywhere you turn it’s another “be the better you” or whatever. We hardly notice anymore how self-obsessed we’re encouraged to be, how self-absorbed we really are. We’re so bent on improvi...
faithMay 14, 2020
My whole life, when I became frustrated with my circumstances, my dad would quote to me, “oh ye of little faith”. I use to make me more mad because I wanted him to tell me what to do or fix it for me. But you see, he was really just telling me where to go for my answers to my problems. “But when...
heavenApril 29, 2020
Most of what we read in The Psalm if David is about the journey and how God (our Shepherd) protects us and leads us along the way. We are His sheep after all...Anyhow, for me it’s the promise that I love so much;“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with...
easterMarch 13, 2020
I’m a “straight shooter”, meaning I am pretty much going to call it like I see it and tell it like it is. Some appreciate it, some don’t like it. But its just the way I am. Jesus, on the other hand, wasn’t always direct. He often taught His lessons through Parables. Many of which, for me, take so...
justificationMarch 5, 2020
I’ve been thinking the last couple of days about the journey we have been on together and some of the topics I chase down a rabbit hole. Not that I think they’re necessarily bad topics or irrelevant, I just think it’s good to get back to center. Level set, if you will. So, with that being said, I...
decision-makingFebruary 19, 2020
It’s hard making big decisions in life. Often times we put it off or because we are so afraid we don’t make them at all. But in those circumstances that demand a grown up response, those who trust in God can look to him for guidance. That’s the only way I know how to make them. In the Bible David...
evangelismFebruary 3, 2020
So it’s always fun to watch the Super Bowl, commercials and the half time show. It’s what everyone will be talking about for the next day or two. Great game too. But let’s take a minute and think about what we are always “talking about”. If you’re like most people, and I assume you are, you’re ta...
repentanceJanuary 10, 2020
So I got to thinking about how life seems to ebb and flow with good times and bad. More specifically, as I was driving back from Nashville, 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,...
christmasDecember 24, 2019
Well, here we are, Christmas Eve! The time of year we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus! But do we stop and wonder, why was Jesus born? Well, it’s because God so loved the world! The story of Jesus’ birth is not just a warm fuzzy story about a sweet baby born to nice people who we...
gratitudeDecember 20, 2019
I had a great day yesterday saying thank you to my clients and business partners and hopefully relaying my genuine gratitude for their business and friendships. What I love the most, is two of my stops turned into discussions of faith and Jesus! I’m telling you Church was going down today people!...
perseveranceDecember 5, 2019
I’ve been reading through a year and a half of my devotionals I’ve written and came across this one from 2018. I love it, so it’s worth rereading. I hope you don’t mind...This life isn’t easy, in fact it’s hard. We all have struggled and we all have failed but we must move on...“Not that I have a...
purityDecember 4, 2019
Surgery went great! Thanks for all the prayers. I’m truly grateful. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that...
salvationNovember 11, 2019
“Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."”John 3:3 Jesus is telling us how we get to Heaven. You see, Christianity, in a sense, is about new beginnings. If we are not prepared to make a fresh start each day, putting the mistakes...
gratitudeOctober 25, 2019
“give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”1 Thessalonians 5:18 Yesterday was the saddest day I’ve experienced since the day my father passed on August 22nd. You see, his house has been sold and it was time to begin packing up and moving on. It was the...
humilityOctober 14, 2019
How humble do you think you are? Are you prideful and boastful? I ask because God is close to the humble and broken hearted. No one is perfect. We all have sinned. But what makes us beloved to God is our willingness to accept our sinful condition and return to Him. You see, David was a man after...
gratitudeOctober 10, 2019
You know, a few weeks ago I was talking about The Great Commission and how we are called to share the story of Christ. Well, today I got to thinking about the people we surround ourselves with and the people we express our gratitude towards. You see, sharing our gratitude with others is a great w...
