Call Out To Him

Posted on

He Will Strengthen You I’ve spoken with several people recently who are struggling. Part of the struggle is coming from striving in their own effort. For years I thought it best to serve and never ask for help. This often led to pride and struggle. When we call out to God through prayer, He hears […]

Show Your Weakness

Posted on

See His Power One of the hardest parts of the Christian life is surrender. Our pride is more crafty than we realize. It hides under cover of what appears to be humility and good intentions. If the power of Christ is to be seen and experienced through our life to others, we must be intentional […]

The Power Of His Word I spent the first 13 years of my life apart from God’s word, separated from its power, and void of its transformational power. The first time I heard it read, I was blessed and captivated by how straight forward, confident, and powerful it was. The truths that poured out from […]

One True King

I marvel in disbelief at myself sometimes as I have forgotten my king. Life takes it’s busy course and my eyes shift from Him and His mission to my own tasks and desires. Sin will not be content in our lives until it is on the throne. It will produce an insanity in our minds […]

What To Fear

Posted on

The last week has been like one of those dreams playing out where stuff is happening but you’re unable to move your body to react. One of my good friends is laying in a bed at a hospital that thinks he’s not worth wasting the blood and plasma on. They refused to do an organ […]

Powerful And Loving

Posted on

Too many times we charge ahead striving for victory when what we really need to do is kneel in worship trusting in our Victorious warrior who has secured our freedom.  In modern Christendom, it’s common to hear about a patient and gentle God and I agree He is, but we must also remember that no […]
