Boldly Standing For Christ
on August 9th, 2025
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20) I used to love to snow ski. One time,... Read More

Blaming Others Is Not The Answer
on August 8th, 2025
“Then the man and his life heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, ‘Where are you?’ He answered, ‘I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.’ And he said, ‘Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree tha... Read More

Big Responsibilities
on August 7th, 2025
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30) Regardless of where you are in life right now, odds are you have a large responsibility. If you are a student, you have a responsibility to con... Read More

Biblical Decision Making
on August 6th, 2025
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:3-5) Many Christians dichot... Read More

The Pattern for Commitment
on August 5th, 2025
"Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.'" (Matthew 16:24) Are you a "halfway" Christian? Maybe you're stirred by the things of God but not truly changed by them. Friend, this is a dangerous place to be. When Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the crowds were caught up in the passion of the moment. They thr... Read More

Between You And God
on August 4th, 2025
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6) Something we all need to understand as believers is that that your relationship with God is between you and Him. Jesus said it very clearly in this Scripture that your relationship with God is not between you and a pastor, or between you and a priest. There is no representative of God, like you ... Read More

Better Days Are Coming
on August 3rd, 2025
“See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.” (Isaiah 65:17) I love our earth. I have had a chance to live on the ocean and live in the mountains, and they are gorgeous. I have had a chance to be in Switzerland and see the Swiss Alps. I have had a chance to be in a lot of different places, and every place has great beauty. ... Read More

Benefits of Praise
on August 2nd, 2025
Let everything thing that has breath praise the Lord. – Psalm 150:6 Scripture commands us, if we are living and breathing, to always be praising the Lord. We should praise Him not just because He deserves it, but also because we benefit from praising Him as well. As you are praising God, not only are you inviting Him near, but you are also being reminded of God's presence. Many of us become ver... Read More

Believing The Truth About Yourself
on August 1st, 2025
A person may think their own ways are right, but the Lord weighs the heart. (Proverbs 21:2) Chuck Colson wrote a book, Born Again. He got saved in the midst of the Watergate fiasco and served time in prison. God saved him and put him on a path to being a blessing to many people. One of my good friends was his pastor. Colson said in his book that the problem with President Nixon was that he cou... Read More

Believing God’s Word
on July 31st, 2025
“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and the attitudes of the heart.” - Hebrews 4:12 (NIV) Something I hear all the time is that people want to know the will of God. And not only do they want to know the will of God, but they want to be able to stay in His will. So w... Read More

Be Sensitive To Your Witness
on July 30th, 2025
Let your gentleness be evident to all. (Philippians 4:5) When things are going great in your life, you are making lots of money, you are healthy, your relationships are strong, your marriage is solid, your kids respect and honor you, and your parents are blessing you; that is when everyone expects you to be happy. However, when you are going through a difficult season in your life, that is when t... Read More

Set Apart for God
on July 29th, 2025
For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. (Galatians 5:13) Friend, let me ask you something that might sting a little: Are you truly free, or are you a slave pretending to be free? Our culture has sold you a counterfeit freedom—doing whatever you want, whenever you want it. But that's not freedom; tha... Read More
