Christians are not Called to Protest
Here in the U.S. we find law after law being passed that are affronts to God’s Word. Many local communities try to curb the growth of churches through zoning laws. The news reports run rampant about Pastors who fall way short of living out their calling but they never report the positive impact many churches […]
The Anonymous Leader
Ralph Mayhew describes his latest book, The Anonymous Leader: An Unambitious Pursuit of Influence, as being, “… about fading away and becoming nothing so Jesus Christ can become everything through your life and leadership.” I agree that this short quote describes his book well. Mayhew’s book stands out in stark contrast against all the books […]
Salt of the Earth
“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. – Matthew 5:13 In the time period of the Old Testament, salt was a precious commodity for life in […]
Counting the Cost of Faith
Now great crowds accompanied him, and he turned and said to them, “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after […]
Grace and Peace from God our Father
In 2014 I preached a two part series on the prayers of Paul. I don’t know if I preached it well but it was one of those sermons which had a major impact on my own life and how I pray. If you look at Paul’s letters, you will find that he followed closely to […]
The Messiness of Faith
We try so hard to control our daily life. We make sure everything fits neatly and safely in a box. We set goals and avoid risks to eliminate unexpected surprises. We pray and diligently read God’s Word. Despite all our hard work, life rarely works out neat and tidy. Now faith is confidence in what […]
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. […]
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.
