Do Angels Exist?
on June 6th, 2023
Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation? (Hebrews 1:14)Have you ever wondered if angels exist? Have you had an encounter with someone and wondered if that person was actually an angel? Because this issue is extremely subjective and experiential, many of us don’t talk about it. However, the Bible is not silent when it comes to addressing angels. The Wor... Read More

Divorce and God’s Word
on June 5th, 2023
Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. (1 Peter 3:1-2)As a pastor, I am often asked about the biblical grounds for divorce. There is only one reason for divorce! It is adultery, sexual immorality, and breaki... Read More

A Life of Submission
on June 4th, 2023
Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s sl... Read More

My Confidence

…being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 1:6) In the Rocky Mountains of New Mexico, on the sacred, sprawling grounds of a church conference center, I first read those words which the apostle Paul had penned. I was trying to determine what God wanted me to do next: Should I stay another six weeks and e... Read More

Money Can’t Buy Happiness
on June 2nd, 2023
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5) Years ago, I went to Nicaragua on a mission trip. I had been there several times, but this trip happened to be fun and insightful. My first-born son, Jonathan, and I flew down there. We met up with our guide and our translator who took us through t... Read More

Admitting You Are Wrong
on June 1st, 2023
But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” (James 4:6) When they are confronted, why do people have a difficult time admitting they are wrong? They did something wrong, but they refuse to take any responsibility for their actions. They don’t even want to talk about it. They invariably try to justify why they did it. At the core, the human s... Read More

Seeking Godly Wisdom
on May 31st, 2023
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. (James 1:5) Do you know where you get wisdom? You get it from the Word of God. Wisdom is the Word of God applied practically to your life to show you how to live. Therefore, when you accept Christ, you are coming to Him who is completely wise. He has all the wisdom you need to take... Read More

Looking for Hope
on May 30th, 2023
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” (Lamentations 3:24) Is there hope? Why do you attend church? Why do you watch preachers on television? Do you go to church on Sunday to show off your newest outfit? Do you tune into a sermon out of obligation, or to fulfill some expectation? My guess would be that these aren’t the reasons you come to church or watch church on... Read More

You Are Chosen

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (1 Peter 2:9)One of the greatest feelings is to feel chosen. There is nothing like the feeling when someone says your name and then follows it with the phrase, “I choose you.” Your friends chose you to ... Read More

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 5:16)I want to ask you a few questions.

Read Your Bible
on May 26th, 2023
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12) The Bible is alive for you today. If you haven't experienced this, you need to spend time alone with God. When you are hungry to hear His voice, just breathe a simple prayer, “Je...
