    How many of us can honestly say that we always know what we’re doing? A while back, I thought about the fact that I often have little clue about what I’m doing or how to accomplish what I want accomplished. I often have to “wing it” in my everyday life because I tread new ground…

    Yesterday, a snow storm hit the south east. Here in Orangeburg, we didn’t get the worst of it, but we did get enough. Yesterday afternoon, Melissa and I began to get a little stir crazy and talked about getting out of the house. While we were trying to decide if we wanted to brave the…

    As I look through scripture, following God was never easy. There were always obstacles. There was always opposition. It seems that following Jesus often comes too easy for many of us. Little sacrifice. Little push back. Little trust required. The conclusion I’ve come to… We’re doing it wrong. Jesus said in John 16:33 that we…

    Christmas is over. The Christmas Eve services have concluded. The presents are unwrapped. The stockings are empty again. The food is gone (well, most of it). The season is feeling like it’s over. But we can never forget… What it all means. Just because the 25th has come and gone, don’t quit living like Jesus…

    Like most Sunday afternoons, yesterday I sat down to watch some football… (After all, Sundays are made for church, napping, and football.) As I was flipping through the games, I came across Tim Tebow and his first start in the NFL. For those of you that don’t follow football, Tim Tebow is a verbal Christian…

    Growing up, I had a chore to do every week that I absolutely hated doing. I had to clean out and wash the family car. Every week, I would try to get out of doing the work. I’d try to think of some reason why I couldn’t do it that week or shouldn’t have to…

    In life, we find ourselves in different kinds of situations. Some of them are exactly what we need at the time. They have life and are straight from God. Others are out of our sweet spot, and drag us down, or aren’t what God has planned. Here are 3 signs what you have ain’t what…

    Spend most of your time trying to convince the people around you that you’re someone you’re really not. I’m serious… I’ve seen so many people worry constantly about how they “look” in front of other people and walk through life without any joy. Think about it… If we spend our time, energy, and effort worrying…
