    Do you remember the hand held game “Bop It”? I loved playing Bop It as a kid. In fact, I think it’s still around (yeah, its that good!). In Bop It, the goal is to repeat a set of commands given in the game. – pull it, twist it, bop it. As the little thing…

  • Here’s God’s Will for Your Life

    It’s always been  an often asked question… “What’s God’s will for my life?” In other words, the question is really this.. “What’s God’s specific plan for my life?” “What am I here for?” The question is a solid and valid question, but the answers we often come up with are less valid. People answer this…

    So many people in the world today allow past “stuff” to effect their present progress and their future potential. And so, they’re stuck in the muck of a past mistake or a past hurt or a past broken relationship. God has so much more planned for us. In fact, that’s what He’s all about… forgiveness…

    The Reward of Moving

    This past Saturday, Melissa and I packed up all we owned and moved across town. After a lot of sweat, a little blood, and maybe a few tears (I was worn out!) :) , we finally managed to get everything settled in. As I was spending some time reflecting on my day yesterday, I had…

  • Sleeping without Living

    Sleeping without Living

    Do we know the win? Do we know the goal? Do we know what success looks like? It’s really easy for us to go through the motions… of life, of ministry. It’s really easy for us to get up every morning, put our clothes on, walk out the door, and get another pay check. BUT,…

  • The Power of Purpose

    Quick post today, but here’s what’s on my mind… Anyone that has been in church for any amount of time has heard a statement similar to this: “God has a purpose for your life.” I think we often hear that, process it, and move on to the next thing. However, think about that statement again.…
