Is Jesus Enough?
Instead, I have calmed and quieted my soul like a weaned child with its mother; my soul is like a weaned child. – Psalm 131:2 (CSB) I am still amazed when I have read a Bible verse dozens of time and that one time it suddenly jumps out and grabs me. I have been preaching […]
It’s Easy to Be a Critic
“Critics don’t change the future, creators do.” – Terry Weaver If you spend any time at all on social media and / or the blogosphere, it will not take long to find the critics. They love to find the smallest details to rail against. They are skilled at turning the biggest non-issue into the biggest […]
The Christian and the Wilderness Experience
A lot of pastors, myself included, teach on the truth of how God intervenes in our circumstances. However, if we are not careful we fail to teach the proper response to those times when life goes wrong and seems like a never ending wilderness. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that […]
Now Faith Is…
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV) We as humans love to live by our senses. We judge our world by what we can see, hear, taste, feel and smell. This is why we struggle so much with true faith. Many claim God does not exist because he […]
Hope for the Future
A few weeks ago it was Family Sunday at Life Church in Conyers Georgia. Instead of sending the kids off to Children’s Church they staid in the main sanctuary for the entire service and the kids participated in serving and reading scriptures etc. The shoes in the picture belong to a young man about 14. […]
You Really Do Need Negative People in Your Life
Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves […]
An Unexpected Blessing and Psalm 91
The one who lives under the protection of the Most High dwells in the shadow of the Almighty. – Psalm 91:1 CSB A few weeks ago I spent a Saturday morning with a couple friends (Marquis and Rob) doing a photo walk around the King Center and Auburn Avenue in downtown Atlanta. Since I have […]
When Patriotism Becomes and Idol
On the Fourth of July we celebrate the birth of the United States of America. Many families will spend the day at the lake or beach grilling hot dogs and hamburgers. We are far from perfect and there are dark spots on our past and even our present but I still believe we are one […]
Manhood: A Father’s Impact
Almost 24% of kids in the U.S. grow up without a father and many more have grown up with an unhealthy father child relationship. A few days ago I started the Wild Life devotional / Bible reading plan on the YouVersion app (available for Apple and Android or Bible.com on the computer). The plan covers the […]
Holy Week: a Time to Remember – Reflect & Celebrate
The next day [John the Baptist] saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! – John 1:29 Holy Week begins each year on Palm Sunday where we celebrate Jesus triumphal entry into Jerusalem and concludes the following Sunday, Easter Sunday, where we celebrate […]
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.
