Faith
Doubt Is Not A Badge of Honor
Several weeks ago I was listening to a popular podcast. The host was interviewing a young man who states he was once a Christian but now he is an atheist. It was interesting in how he detailed his transformation that eventually lead him to walk away from faith in Jesus. My heart grieves for this […]
And You Will Be Like God
But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” – Genesis 3:4-5 (ESV) OK I am going to break one of my rules. Rarely is it a good […]
A Worship Focus
“The worship of God makes believers more godly because people become like their focus. We emulate what we think about.” Donald S. Whitney There are so many things we seek out in life so much we want to do. We chase dreams (which can be good) and we often work so we can find times […]
A Cause Greater Than a Flag
I am literally sick over the ongoing racial debates on social media. Just a few weeks ago it was the issue in McKinney and now the Confederate flag. Like the Bible, people find it easy to cherry pick history to prove their point. However, it is unlikely you will change someone’s mind or their heart. […]
No – They are Not Thugs
Crime runs rampant in our nation. The pain and struggle between the different races and classes in our nation grows stronger as time goes by. A couple of weeks ago during the protests in Baltimore someone (not sure who) felt the solution was to refer to the rioters as “thugs.” People were literary burning down […]
Praying for Your Calling
It seems to be a deep part of us to live a life of meaning, a life of purpose. At times our calling seems to be an elusive treasure that requires great effort to discover. I know for much of my life I searched and hunted for it myself. It was a constant prayer that […]
On Track – A Book Review
I am a very heavy blog reader (all bloggers should be). I have over one hundred blogs in my feedly reader. Of course most only get a quick scan; however, there are a few bloggers that I try not to miss. Jon Stolpe is one of those bloggers. A while back I was one of […]
The Glory of the Resurrection
Death has come. Deep within the tomb is darkness. A sealed tomb designed to never again see the light of day. God was not done yet; the work of Christ his only begotten son was not yet complete. Three days had passed and Jesus had taken the keys of death, hell and the grave from […]
Glory of the Cross
The cross a horrible tool of torture and death. It is designed to bring shame, pain and an agonizing death that would take hours. Bones are pulled out of joint, muscles and ligaments stretched and torn, and it is almost impossible to breathe. It is a mocker. You my savior, my redeemer, the one who […]
Five Days to the Cross
Yesterday Christians worldwide celebrated Palm Sunday. As the culmination of Jesus earthly ministry drew to a close he enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey. Jews were looking for a warrior king to come and set them free from the tyranny of Rome. However, Jesus did not fit so nicely in that box. He broke all […]
Pastor, Leadership Coach, Speaker: I am enthusiastic about helping others discover their purpose and grow into a deeper relationship with Jesus. It is great to see their eyes light up at their “Ah Ha!” moment when they discover they were created for something more.
