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.

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

“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

Let your gentleness be evident to all.

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

on July 28th, 2025
Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. – Romans 10:9  Whether we care to admit it or not, the end times are not too far off.

Be Present
on July 27th, 2025
Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. (1 Timothy 5:8)  Part of the role we have as fathers is to be present for our family and to provide for them. In fact, men are uniquely wired with this desire to provide and take care of their family. So when we are not fulfilling that innate desire, we are...  Read More

Be Expectant
on July 25th, 2025
“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. (Matthew 25:1-4)  You and I should be living just like Jesus says, “Be expectant.” He uses a great s...  Read More

Avoiding Trouble
on July 24th, 2025
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. (John 14:1)  Do you realize that trouble is simply part of life? You can't avoid it. It is crucial to understand that through Christ we can overcome the trouble, regardless of what that is. Jesus told us, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.” (John 15:18)  People will not always line up with what you belie...  Read More

Asking Out Of Faith
on July 23rd, 2025
“Jesus stopped and called them. ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ he asked. ‘Lord,’ they answered, ‘we want our sight.’ Jesus had compassion on them and touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight and followed him.” – Matthew 20:32-34  One of the things that separates Christianity from all other religions is the fact that we can experience salvation by faith alone. In order to hav...  Read More
