September 7, 2023
You know, sometimes I think back on my life and cringe at some of the mistakes I’ve made. I written about this before but regrets, we all have them. It may be something you wish you hadn’t done, or a missed opportunity where you didn’t take action and wish that you had. It might be something that...

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 please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”Galatians 1:10 Maybe you are worried about what o...
living-hopeAugust 11, 2023
Take this into the weekend with you. Wow, just let this sink in this morning...“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that i...
prayerAugust 7, 2023
“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...

“He entered Jericho and was passing through. And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich. And he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small in stature. So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamor...
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...
graceJune 22, 2023
You know, I started talking about “doing good” yesterday and asked that we find the why behind our works. I want to dig a little more and discuss our efforts. You see, far to often people think they can earn their way into Heaven by simply doing good. While that’s nice and all, there will be many...
redemptionMay 25, 2023
“He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.”Psalms 40:2-3 I have a past, I have a present and God’s promis...
gratitudeMay 12, 2023
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...
angerMay 9, 2023
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 selfishness? I’m exaggerating, but not really. Sometimes everyone gets mad, angry,...
hopeMay 4, 2023
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...
surrenderApril 7, 2023
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...
gods-presenceApril 5, 2023
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...
witnessingMarch 14, 2023
So, will we always see the result of the work we’ve done by witnessing to others and being there when they need us the most? Most certainly not. But that shouldn’t discourage us from being there and sharing the Gospel. You see, we never really know how God is using us, we just need to have faith...
discipleshipMarch 13, 2023
“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...
worshipFebruary 21, 2023
You know, we are all pushed in many ways by others in directions that can alter our relationship with Christ. I read a quote recently that said, “don’t let someone who didn’t die for you affect the way you worship someone who did.” Wow, that’s strong. We read in Revelations, “When I saw him, I fe...
blessingsFebruary 17, 2023
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. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.”James 1:17 N...
judgmentFebruary 7, 2023
I hate it when I find my self getting “judgey”...but I’m afraid we all do it to some degree. “Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things.”Romans 2:1 ESVYou see, be...
great-commissionJanuary 31, 2023
I want to pause today in talking about gratitude and shift for a moment and talk about our call to The Great Commission. You see, I had a great talk yesterday with a buddy and we discussed his current role and where he was and how it was affecting his witness. Well, here is what I think when it c...
gratitudeJanuary 27, 2023
Occasionally I talk about it, but I’m going to level with you, I love doing these, they’re not always great and they may not always be relevant to everyone but they are to someone. So, thank you, I am grateful for all of you. Which brings me to a great topic to take into the weekend. Gratitude!Yo...
heavenJanuary 25, 2023
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...
pastDecember 28, 2022
“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."”Revelation 21:4 I’m going to keep this simple today because the point I want is simple. When you are in Christ, your p...
graceDecember 13, 2022
We’ve been doing this since sometime in 2018. I know I’ve written 1014 devotionals. I don’t think that’s all of them because I’m sure I’ve accidentally deleted some and reused some…but I digress. In the beginning, I use to sign off our devotionals with God is greater than me. (God > Me) I’m sure...
gods-graceDecember 12, 2022
I had a couple great conversations this weekend with a few friends and they were asking me about my journey and how I am where I am and how I got here...their questions gave me reason to reflect on God’s grace he’s shown me. “but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Chri...
