  • Being God’s Man

    I read this passage and it makes me think about what kind of man I am: You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers…

  • Test Your Commitment

    In today’s world we lament a lack of commitment.  We applaud and show excitement when people last long in positions.  Why? because we don’t see it very often!  We lament that people just can’t stay committed.  We complain.  Yet, when talking about encouraging commitment to God’s church we get gun shy about it.  We say…

  • When God tells you something

    A funny thing happened to me since our church had Vacation Bible School.  VBS was great.  We saw 36 kids during the week and had another 15 student workers who helped out.  We had buckets of fun.  We learned about Daniel.  We discovered what it means to trust Jesus with all of our life.  Our…

  • Chasing a Purpose

    Last time I wrote we thought a bit about seeking our purpose.  Today I want to talk more about “buckshot” living.  If you missed it, refer to my last post.  However, to simplify things, buckshot living is the living we do and we don’t really know why we are doing it.  It doesn’t really have…

  • Embrace your Purpose

    Perhaps, if I planned for my purpose and sought to fulfill my purpose then the things I do for God would be transformed into worship, ministry, and evangelism. Perhaps, if I practiced that with the things of God, then the ordinary things might take on a greater significance too.

  • Believed Promises Change Lives

    When we believe a promise, we do something about it. That is all faith is – the response to a promise from God that we believe.

  • The Mysterious Love of God

    2 Corinthians 5:14-15 – For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again. It is one thing to talk about…

  • Remembering a Friend of God

    Jesus said, “No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.” (John 15:15 ) Last week our church family lost a dear brother in…

    Have you said in your heart or heard a friend say, “I just don’t feel that God is very close to me.” I want to think today about that word ‘feel’…

  • Sin, not a downer, a revelation of glory

    “The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.” I am preparing to head back home from the pastor’s conference that I have been to for the last 3 days.  Wow, what an encouragement to marvel at the wonder of God!  The subject of…
