Be Still in a Scrolling World
on May 22nd, 2026
When was the last time you were truly still?
Many of us are so caught up in scrolling on our devices that we hear all the noise. It is time for you to be quiet and ask God what He wants of you. Ask Him to sense His presence and hear His voice on how to pray.
Think about your typical day. You wake up and immediately check your phone. Notifications. Emails. News. Social media. The noise starts before your feet hit the floor.
Throughout the day, every spare moment gets filled. Waiting in line? Scroll. Eating lunch? Scroll. Can't sleep? Scroll. Read More

Praise the Lord
on May 21st, 2026
Whether you are a morning person or an evening person does not matter. The words that come out of our mouths every day do matter. The psalmist is calling on himself to engage with praise and we should consider doing the very same thing ourselves every day. Notice the self-talk here and in other passages of Scripture. Surely, like the writer of this Psalm, you have talked to yourself at times. A man once said, “This is how I am assured of having an intelligent conversation.” If you need motivation, tell yourself to get up, get awake and get actively praising the Lord. Read More

It's All About Jesus
on May 20th, 2026
I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior when I was 12 years old. The moment I turned from sin and placed my faith in Jesus Christ, I rode my bicycle home singing and praising God. Filled with joy, I made up words to a new song. (I wish I had written the words down because I thought they were pretty good at the time.) Read More

Jesus Saw the One
on May 19th, 2026
Do you see individuals or just crowds?
Do you remember the story about the woman who had been bleeding for twelve years? Jesus was walking through a crowd, and everyone was wanting to touch Him. He asked the question, "Who touched me?"
The disciples looked at Him and questioned Him. Everyone was touching Jesus! He said, "Power flowed out of me." Read More

They Came for the Bread
on May 18th, 2026
Why do people come to Jesus?
There was something about the ministry of Jesus. He didn't worry about drawing a crowd. Why did people come to Him? He was known as someone who met needs.
Sometimes, people came there for the show or another free lunch. God knows how to handle that.
This is an important truth for the church today. Not everyone who shows up has pure motives. Some people come because they want something—financial help, social connections, emotional support, free meals. Read More

What Compels You?
on May 17th, 2026
What moves you to serve?
The message that God gave you does not involve church, communion, baptism, church membership, service, or ministry. The very message that sends us out to make a difference in the lives of other people is the cross of Christ.
That is the motivation. Paul wrote that the love of Christ compels us.
Not guilt. Not obligation. Not pressure from others. Not trying to earn points with God. The love of Christ. Read More

Nailed and Staying Nailed
on May 16th, 2026
Do you ever wonder where your sin went?
The moment that Jesus died on the cross and He cried out, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" something happened. In that moment, He took on my sin and your sin. He who had no sin took our sin.
All of your sin that would ever condemn you, anything that you have ever done in rebellion against God—it was nailed to the cross. Read More

Walking Humbly with God
on May 15th, 2026
Are you walking humbly with God? If so, I pray you will continue to do so. If not, I hope you will repent of your disobedience, and that you will come before Him with a desire to walk closely and humbly with Him. Read More

Never Stop Worshiping
on May 14th, 2026
The angels never stop worshiping. Night and day, they continue to worship the Lord; they never stop. That needs to apply to us; because they don't stop, we shouldn't stop. That doesn't mean you sing songs all the time, but you are honoring God all the time. Nothing is more important than for you to stay lined up with Him when you worship Him. If you are having a difficult time aligning and looking at the throne, you need to worship until you are aligned with the throne, and then stay right there. Read More

God Is Keeping the Report
on May 13th, 2026
Are you keeping track of your good deeds?
Let's go do it. You don't have to turn in a report; God is keeping the report. You will send it on to heaven. Just be who Jesus has called you to be—someone who cares for the hurting. This will confirm in your heart that you know that you know that you know Him.
I love that phrase: You don't have to turn in a report.

The Center of Your Hula Hoop
on May 12th, 2026
Do you know what sin really is?
The Bible tells us that we are born with a sin nature. If you don't understand the sin nature, just look at a two-year-old child. They don't share their toys without a fight. Their world is focused on their hula hoop.
Everything inside that hula hoop is theirs. My toys. My snacks. My mommy. My attention. Me, me, me. Read More

Driving Forward, Looking Backward
on May 11th, 2026
Are you living in the past?
With many people, you are trying to move forward while you are looking backward. Do you know what will happen if you are driving forward while looking in the rear-view mirror? You are headed for a wreck!
Many of us don't realize that we should not live in the past. We don't have to condemn ourselves any longer. Read More
