November 9, 2023 Trust And Obey! I don’t understand everything about what is going on in the conflict in Israel. I do know that conflicts in and with Israel have been a part of history for thousands of years. I know that today there is great pain, I know there is much intolerance, and I […]

November 2, 2023 God’s Provision! Many of us want two things from God; wealth and health! Listen to our prayers. We are praying for our most recent ache and pain or we are praying for a health issue for a friend. We pray for the test results to come back good, we pray for a […]
Opposite Of Ready!

October 26, 2023 Opposite Of Ready! I was not ready when Jesus called me to be a preacher. I knew nothing of theology, Biblical interpretation, or delivering a message. I had only ever read one Christian book, read very little of the Bible, and only infrequently attended worship. I was not ready for what Jesus […]

October 19, 2023 Genuineness! I joined a small group in late September. At the group’s second gathering I asked; “What is our hope or dream for our small group?” One person responded quickly, “Genuineness!” I asked what they meant by “genuineness.” She answered; “Honest, authentic…REAL!” I have encountered and endured many, many people who were […]

October 12, 2023 Affliction! Sometimes the challenges to our physical health can lead to other unexpected struggles. When our physical strength is compromised, our heart, our mind, and our soul can become downcast in ways we have never experienced before. The physical challenges and inconveniences can quickly impact our emotions, our thinking, and our spiritual […]
Make Room!

October 5, 2023 Make Room! The trouble with sadness is that it convinces me there is no room left for anything else. When I am sad, I quickly begin to believe there is no room for joy and celebration or for peace and victory or for hope or help. I begin to believe there is […]
No Obstacles!

September 28, 2023 No Obstacles! I have had my share of obstacles. Some obstacles have come from inside me; things like doubt and fear or over-confidence and pride or confusion and lack of faith. Some obstacles have come from outside me; things like loneliness and loss or betrayal and rejection or abuse and oppression. I […]
A New Way To See!

September 21, 2023 A New Way To See! It’s hard to see past what is different! A few weeks ago, I watched a movie titled, “Can You See Us?” The theme of the movie (released in 2022) is captured in a few short statements offered by a father to his young son. The father says; […]
Three G’s!

September 14, 2023 Three G’s! When I have breathed my last breath, I want to be remembered. I want to be remembered as a husband who adored his wife, a father who was proud of his daughters, and a child of God who was committed to bring glory to Jesus. Leaving behind some belongings I […]
Not Me!

September 7, 2023 Not Me! A focus on me can happen so quickly. I don’t have to give me too much attention or even energy and suddenly I have put myself at the center of almost everything. Maybe it’s a personality thing. Maybe it’s because I was hurt sometime. Maybe it’s because I have some […]
