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

Be Ready For The End
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. Jesus is coming back soon and we need to be prepared. We might not be here when the events of the end times gear up. But this is the pathway that will unfold during the Grea... Read More

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 Hospitable
on July 26th, 2025
Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. – 1 Peter 4:9-10 Do you know what it means to be hospitable? It means to open your home. Open your home and do it without grumbling. Now, you might be thinking, why would someone grumble about being hospitable to some... 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
