  • What Does God’s Voice Sound Like?

    What Does God’s Voice Sound Like?

    It’s a common question. I get asked quite often, something to the effect of, “How do I hear the voice of God?” It’s a common question without an easy answer. I believe God speaks to his people. I think scripture makes this obvious in so many places. God spoke in the days of the Old…

  • This Defines You

    This Defines You

    Who are you? When you read that question, a bunch of things may go through your mind. Usually, they’re a mixed bag for most of us. Things that describe what we feel is good about us and things that we’d like to see change. The truth is, we really shouldn’t be inclined to answer that…

  • What is it, Actually?

    What is it, Actually?

    I’m thankful that God specializes in using things in ways they don’t appear. That he thinks on a greater scale. That his plan is beyond my comprehension. That he does things in ways I’d never dream.

  • The One for Each One

    Luke 4:40 At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them. Jesus laid hands on EACH ONE and he healed them. Did you know that Jesus isn’t a “one size fits all” Savior? Jesus doesn’t have a template for how he…

  • Don’t Let This Steal Your Peace

    p.o.p: PEACE over PACE I’m a hurried man. It’s not that anyone necessarily hurries me along in life, but I often find myself feeling rushed. Sometimes because I have a lot going on. Sometimes because my calendar is tight. Sometimes because I’m running in a lot of different directions. Sometimes, I’m rushed for no reason…

  • You’re Not Drowning, You’re Rising

    Genesis 7:18 (NIV) The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water. It’s the story of Noah’s Ark. It may be the most popular and well known Bible study in the entire 66 books of the Bible. Noah was asked to build a boat to…

  • The Great Rescue

    The Great Rescue

    One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living. Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” And they left their…

  • Principles, Not Patterns

    Life changes happen. No matter who you are or how stable your life situation may be, life changes. People get married Kids grow up Jobs change Hobbies change Relationships change Schedules change Environments change What I’ve noticed over the last couple of years is that sometimes, people get too married to the patterns of their…

  • Love In A World Of Hate

    Love In A World Of Hate

    in ,

    Hate means to, “feel intense or passionate dislike for (someone).” Wow! Doesn’t that sound like our country lately? Left against right. Red against blue. Black against white. No longer does society believe we can love someone and still disagree with them. Whether it’s a family member, long time friend, or complete stranger, disagreeing is becoming…

  • The Hand & The Heat

    The Hand & The Heat

    In Acts 11, the early Church is spreading, new people are finding Jesus, and God is using the persecution that they are beginning to feel to spread His name. In spite of the best efforts of some of the opposition, God continues to use the apostles and the early Christians.
