When you are seeking out God’s will and purpose for your life, you will have enemies. The devil is threatened by those who have surrendered their lives to God. He will use whatever he can to keep you from seeking the Lord. This is happening today, but it’s nothing new. When God placed it in… Continue reading Strengthen My Hands

This world is dark and scary, and seems to be getting worse all the time. But maybe, no…not maybe, you were made for these days! What an encouragement! God created you to be a light pointing people to Him in this dark world today. A whole generation of people could be saved if you are… Continue reading Made For These Days

We’re all born and we all die. What matters is the dash in between. I’ve been thinking a lot about death. I guess that’s ok because Ecclesiastes 7:2 says it’s, “Better to go to the house of mourning Than to go to the house of feasting, For that is the end of all men; And… Continue reading Make The Dash Matter

How many times throughout our day do we worry and try to figure things out on our own? Look at this convicting passage from Isaiah where the Lord is warning the people about their actions. ““Woe to the rebellious children,” says the Lord, “Who take counsel, but not of Me, And who devise plans, but… Continue reading This is the way, walk in it.

I always read it and focused on Jesus’ power to calm… Continue reading Headed For The Storm

Take a few minutes and read 2 Samuel 24:1-17. I’ve been studying this story about David for a few days. David sinned when he took a census of the people in Israel instead of having faith in God alone to deliver them. So God told him to choose for himself which one out three things… Continue reading Choices

I looked and saw my kids waiting in the back while I practiced with the choir after church Wednesday night. It’s a common scene. A scene that my older daughters were also familiar with when they were their younger siblings’ age. Serving in the church. I could tell you many lies about serving in the… Continue reading Serving

As I sat at Cam’s practice this evening I thought about what really makes a coach a great coach. Being a coach is an opportunity to point people to Christ. It is a ministry opportunity. The very definition of “coach” is one who instructs or trains. And Jesus is the ultimate instructor. He gives coaches… Continue reading Ultimate Playbook

At choir practice the other night, we began by practicing a song I really like. But as the song started to play, static started coming from the speaker. We continued on with the song, and even though I love the song, I wasn’t able to enjoy it because of the static. I couldn’t focus on… Continue reading Static
