The Invitation to Pray
“But we must see the expectation to pray not only as a divine summons, but also a royal invitation.” – Donald S. Whitney, The Spiritual Disciplines One of the things that is so wonderful about the Christian Faith is that we are able to go before God in prayer, and He promises us through […]
The Happy Christian: A Book Review
I have to admit I was highly skeptical when I read the title, The Happy Christian: Ten Ways to Be a Joyful Believer in a Gloomy World, the forthcoming book by David Murray. However, I enjoyed his last book, Jesus on Every Page. You can read my review here. I am also a frequent reader […]
Why You Should Celebrate Lent This Year
I am sure that many either don’t give Lent a thought or think of it as some form of archaic religious legalism. However, setting our selves apart to celebrate Lent is important. What is Lent? This year [2016] Lent begins on Wednesday (Ash Wednesday) February 10th and ends on Thursday (Maundy Thursday) March 24th – […]
Community of Church
From Genesis to Revelation the Bible tells of God building a people. God does move on us and cares for us individually; however, he has created us to live in a community. It seems to be the thing today to talk about how hypocritical Christians are. Even we Christians seem to relish in tearing down […]
My One Word for 2015
As I am a fairly avid blog reader I kept seeing people picking a single word to set a theme for 2015. At first I did not think much about it and wrote it off to just a social media fad. I have not read Mike Ashcraft’s book titled My One Word. However, the one […]

2015 – 365 New Days

Playing Hurt
“The athlete knows the day will never come when he wakes up pain-free. He has to play hurt.” – Steven Pressfield, The War of Art Therefore, since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily ensnares us. Let us run […]
The Prayers of Paul
This week I have a guest post on the Prayers of Paul over at Chris Hendrix’s blog: Devotions by Chris, Here is just a snippet: Paul lived an incredible life. He went from an aggressive persecutor of the church to an aggressive follower of Jesus Christ. He was shipwrecked three times, bitten by a […]
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.
