The angel said to the shepherds, “Fear not, for I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.” There is good news of great joy because the Savior was born. Yet so many feel no joy. They remain unaffected by the familiarity of the Christmas story. So many, especiallyContinue reading “My Salvation Story”

My heart is heavy for those who hold tight to sin instead of Christ.
How many celebrate the birth of Christ, but still, hold tight to their sin instead of true hope? Oh friend, as I look at this world, as I read prophecy, and as I remember the words of our Savior, “ I am coming quickly ”(Rev 22:20),—I can’t help but have a heavy heart for thoseContinue reading “My heart is heavy for those who hold tight to sin instead of Christ.”
Peace of CHRISTmas
Peace It’s sounds like such a calm, relaxing, silent night, kind of word. But to better understand the peace of CHRISTmas, we need to think of peace as in terms of war …war and peace. The Bible says, we were God’s enemies. (Rom 5:10) Not just lost, or confused, or mistaken.We were hostile to God.Continue reading “Peace of CHRISTmas”
Christmas is profoundly more…
It seems no small thing that God picked those who felt most unworthy, the outcasts, those with dirty hands, to behold His coming to earth…. The shepherds. They were the ones not invited to the party. But they were invited to be eyewitnesses to the greatest moment of all. The ones who had dirty hands,Continue reading “Christmas is profoundly more…”
What are you praying today?
I’m praying throughout the day this Election Day. I’ll set my alarm to pray specifically at 6pm and hope you’ll join me and ask others to do the same. I’m asking God to have mercy on this country. I’m asking Him for His will to be done and, of course, I believe one platform toContinue reading “What are you praying today?”
One day it will be too late…
Oh friends, Jesus came and He is coming again. The Day seems closer with each passing moment and headline. The prophets foretold Jesus coming. John the Baptist proclaimed He was here! The Kingdom of Heaven is still powerfully advancing and those who have ears should listen! (Matt 11:15) As Jesus continued His earthly ministry, heContinue reading “One day it will be too late…”
The SIN Elephant in the Room
“Let’s love people enough to help them leave their own pity parties so they can spend their lives drawing attention to God rather than themselves.” “The compassionate side of you will be tempted to comfort everyone who weeps, but that isn’t always the most loving thing to do for them.” —Francis Chan Sometimes, we absolutelyContinue reading “The SIN Elephant in the Room”
We can know if we know God or not.
God is not a god of confusion. I believe He wants to make Himself clear to us. He does not want any of us to be confused as to whether or not we have been saved. God used His servant John to help us know the difference. Let’s read his words: “Everyone who makes aContinue reading “We can know if we know God or not.”
Crazy World. Things lining up with Bible Prophecy.
Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you know this world is CRAZY both here and abroad. Our political world is nuts. What’s more, the Middle East is on fire. Alliances are being formed that we’ve never seen before. And, even if you’re not very “religious”, you probably know the Bible has predicted many ofContinue reading “Crazy World. Things lining up with Bible Prophecy.”
Where PEACE is found.
I talk with people who try and try again to find peace. They are spending loads of money on vacations, antidepressants, and secular counselors. And many of them have tried religion too. The problem is they are just seeking relief from their pain and troubles but they aren’t really looking for God. Oh, some ofContinue reading “Where PEACE is found.”
Real LOVE silences the lies
Since we were children, the enemy has been whispering to us about what’s wrong with us, where we are lacking; and he continually tells us we are woefully unworthy. He surrounds us all with distorted, neon images of worldly perfection. Everywhere we look, from magazines covers to social media posts, the evil one tries toContinue reading “Real LOVE silences the lies”
What would you say?
The prophet Elijah said to the people —“How long will you falter between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.” (1 Kings 18:21) May our hearts receive those words. And, just how would you respond to Elijah’s question? Would you follow a demon masquerading as a false godContinue reading “What would you say?”
When Father’s Day is HARD.
My heart breaks this Father’s Day weekend for all those who have scrolled through the Father’s Day posts and feel like they have no one to thank. Do you know children, who grow up without a father in the home, are much more likely to end up poor, drop out of school, be in prison,Continue reading “When Father’s Day is HARD.”
This world needs Jesus
Sometimes when Christians say, “This world just needs Jesus” it can sound like a cliche and a cop-out. It can seem that we don’t really care, or don’t intend to actually do anything ourselves. However, for most,who were lost then found,broken then made whole,hungry then satisfied,hurting then healed,we KNOW it was JESUSwho changed our lives.Continue reading “This world needs Jesus”
Jesus is honest about the cost of following Him.
The man who reclined at the table, so long ago, listening to Jesus teach, thought it sounded great! He exclaimed, “Blessed is he who shall eat in the kingdom of God!” (Luke 14:15) He was ready to make his dinner reservations in Heaven. But our honest Savior wanted the man (and all of us) toContinue reading “Jesus is honest about the cost of following Him.”
Why do some fall away?
For years, I had read this somewhat strange passage and wondered what it meant— “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it swept and putContinue reading “Why do some fall away?”
HOPE for us and this nation.
Our country feels kind of hopeless right now. But I don’t have to look further than my own family to know Jesus can change things quickly. I thought about my cousin. He’s a pastor. A while back we had sat together and talked about Jesus, the Word, and the world. His tattoo reads, “Finish Well.”Continue reading “HOPE for us and this nation.”
Three years ago today !
Three years ago today, I was baptized! Yes, me! I know some of you are shocked. If you’ve read my book, you know, like many of you, I was baptized as a child. But for years, I went my own way, did my own thing, and felt like I gave God enough to get by.Continue reading “Three years ago today !”
Do your friends truly love you? Do you truly love them?
I heard a pastor once say, “You can’t preach peace to those who walk in disobedience.” The truth is, as much as we want others to experience the rivers of peace we know because of Christ; those who insist on walking their own way, in disobedience to the ways of God, will never experience theContinue reading “Do your friends truly love you? Do you truly love them?”
Tuesday after Easter
About now, I think about those who only attend church on Easter and Christmas. Something draws them there—maybe it’s sweet childhood memories, maybe they are trying to check a box, maybe they are looking for God but are not sure if they can go “all in”. After all, there’s a lot about faith in aContinue reading “Tuesday after Easter”
