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 […]
What is in Your Hand?
Several months ago on John Michael Morgan’s blog he proposed the question “Is your Excuse worth your success?” This is a very important question for anyone. “Until you accept the fact that your current circumstances can be changed by you, don’t expect things to change. “ – John Michael Morgan I used to be the […]
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.
