Yesterday, President Trump signed an Executive Order banning the chemical castration and medical mutilation of children. Christians should vocally applaud this move. We know this is a good and right decision. We know because scripture tells us,“God created man in His image, in the image of God He created him, male and female He createdContinue reading “Christians should vocally applaud this move!”

Struggling with dying to self?
It’s far from easy.It’s stinking hard. It’s a hard and holy thing to die to self.And you aren’t the only one struggling with it. For many, who walk with Jesus, it’s a slow thing as we learn little by little, year after year, to die to things that don’t really matter and hold on toContinue reading “Struggling with dying to self?”
Do I ❤️ this more than God?
If I’m trying to please men, I can’t walk worthy of the God who calls me. (Read Thessalonians 2:4-12) Just as it is for the lost, the praise of men is addictive to Christians. It can come in many forms, and like any other drug, it takes more and more to satisfy. Except, it won’tContinue reading “Do I ❤️ this more than God?”
Jesus didn’t call wrong right.
You can’t be neutral in your faith. If it impacts you, you should want it to impact those you care about. John Piper went so far as to say, “If you don’t want people to believe what you believe about God, your views of Him are not functionally significant for you.” The fact is, ifContinue reading “Jesus didn’t call wrong right.”
Whew! Some people got upset yesterday!
Jesus.The real Jesus,as defined in the Bible,is offensive to a lost world. I was reminded of that yesterday by many comments on a post I shared that was reshared over 2000 times on Facebook. Some, people who normally wouldn’t see what I write, saw it. Quite a few were upset, to put it mildly (andContinue reading “Whew! Some people got upset yesterday!”
Beware- False Prophet
Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde is the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. She was given a great honor yesterday, a chance to speak truth and unify America around a Christian message. Instead of using her platform to elevate God and His ways, and the blessings that come when individuals and countries follow Biblical principles,Continue reading “Beware- False Prophet”
This election. Let’s don’t squander the reprieve we’ve been given.
Like many Christians, I believe the Lord has given us a bit of a reprieve with the election of Donald Trump. I believe his presidency will make it easier for right things to prevail, but this will only happen if Christians are emboldened to pray, to speak out, and seek revival as never before. Yes,Continue reading “This election. Let’s don’t squander the reprieve we’ve been given.”
Purpose, Peace, and Joy comes from this.
As we follow Christ in obedience and seek to bring honor and glory to Him, rather than ourselves , we find great purpose, abiding peace and inexplicable joy. And though Christ followers are already citizens of Heaven (Phil 3:29), we still live in this world and still feel the pull of sin and flesh (RomContinue reading “Purpose, Peace, and Joy comes from this.”
What if parents, rather than the world, is the reason so many are walking away?
We have all heard the studies – Gen Z and Millennials are increasingly leaving the church and identifying as agnostic. (https://www.barna.com/research/atheism-doubles-among-generation-z/) We shake our heads and spin our wheels trying to come up with exciting programs to entice them back. But what if we are the reason they left? What if it is more theContinue reading “What if parents, rather than the world, is the reason so many are walking away?”
Be careful
You’ve probably seen the “come and sit by me” post that is going around on social media. We absolutely want every person we know to be welcome to come and sit with us —no matter where sin has taken them. But we, who have tasted real freedom in Jesus, should be careful that we don’tContinue reading “Be careful”
Jesus was enough. He is enough. He will be enough.
Jesus was enough on the day we were saved, and He will be enough every day we ever live. The Apostle Paul, who walked in such victory, through the hardest of circumstances with real JOY, says, in Christ “dwells all fullness of the Godhead bodily and you are complete in Him, who is the headContinue reading “Jesus was enough. He is enough. He will be enough.”
Joy that Overcomes
To watch someone suffer pain and hold on to God, knowing He could’ve stopped it, but chose not to, is truly a holy thing to witness. My words don’t seem worthy to even attempt to describe such. Yet, little has encouraged my faith as much as this story has. It’s one I’ve closely watched unfoldContinue reading “Joy that Overcomes”
Do you need some confidence to face this New Year?
Do you need some confidence to face this New Year? Then focus on your sin for a moment. Here’s why… If we don’t understand the depths of our sin, we won’t understand the great love of our Savior enough to be able to confidently trust Him with our tomorrows. Let me explain… Luke tells us,Continue reading “Do you need some confidence to face this New Year?”
Absolutely the BEST exercise program out there!
About this time every year, I start thinking about diet and exercise. Anybody else? But you know, the Bible says strenuous spiritual exercise is better than physical exercise. And if ever, we need to be spiritually strong, it’s now, in these crazy times we are living. Paul says to “exercise yourself toward godliness” (4:7). TheContinue reading “Absolutely the BEST exercise program out there!”
My Son is Saved! Listen to his words
So many of you have prayed for my son! Thank you! What a Savior!! He pursues the lost and the prodigal! He brings salvation and peace! Nothing is too hard for Him (Luke 1:37). I pray that Will’s words at his baptism yesterday will encourage others to run to Jesus! Let’s keep praying for eachContinue reading “My Son is Saved! Listen to his words”
Were your feelings hurt this Christmas?
Did you get your feelings hurt at Christmas? Was an expectation unmet? Did someone let you down? Did someone not treat your kid or grandkid how you wish they had? Gathering with others just seems to present all kinds of opportunities for hurts to happen. Are you still thinking about it? Is it starting toContinue reading “Were your feelings hurt this Christmas?”
Hold on in HOPE!
I’ve seen the Lord work, and He didn’t need me at all. He did everything. His Holy Spirit moved in ways I never expected and the evidence is clear. I wish I could tell you that I never worried or doubted that He would move. I wish I could say I never tried to takeContinue reading “Hold on in HOPE!”
Did you really celebrate the Christ of Christmas?
Many of you may have celebrated communion at a Christmas Eve service recently. Long ago, Jesus broke the bread of Passover but instead of using the long familiar words to His Jewish disciples, He shockingly says, “this is My body” and “this is My blood”. (Matt 26:26-29). He was declaring Himself to be the PerfectContinue reading “Did you really celebrate the Christ of Christmas?”
Merry Christmas! What a Savior!
For unto us is born a Savior! (Luke 2:11) For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son to rescue us. (John 3:16) Jesus came as a humble servant, setting aside His glory to live among us. (Phil 2:7-9) He walked our dusty roads and felt our pain. He allowed Himself toContinue reading “Merry Christmas! What a Savior!”
It doesn’t have to end!
It’s Christmas Eve. I don’t want it to end. The twinkling lights, the hugs from family, the familiar carols, the smell of cookies baking in the oven, the flickering candles, the beautiful presents wrapped in bright expectation….. The moments of Christmas-time are some of my favorites I have ever lived. I expect they will alwaysContinue reading “It doesn’t have to end!”
