I remember early on in my walk with God, I would be afraid to talk about My faith. I’m guessing I thought people would think I’m not intelligent because I believe “those things”. In essence I was ashamed of the gospel. How could I be ashamed of the very thing that rescued me from […]
When I entered the highschool I was 4’11” and weighed under 80lbs. Can you say target? I thought having a senior as a brother would help but I was wrong. I was bullied by every grade except my own. They used to play ping pong with me when I walked down the Ag hall […]
With a mighty hand and outstretched arm the LORD brought all things into being. With those hands He formed you and I and breathed life into us. Out of nothing, He created something magnificent. With outstretched arm, He led His people out of bondage in Egypt and into the freedom of the Promised Land. […]
Even as a new parent, I realized quickly the power and importance of words. Today our society flippantly uses the word love for everything from bubblegum to baseball. In doing so, we cloud the lines and understanding of true love. In all of history, there is one example that stands out above all the rest […]

When in reality, we are all responsible. Daniel understood this and includes himself among the sinners that have turned from […]
One of the greatest characteristics of our LORD is His patience. Where we fret and worry He stands strong and confident; patiently waiting. There are days when my heart cannot deal with anymore grief and I just want Him to finish His judgement and take me home. I see the corruption, deception, and death all […]
Ephesians 4 is one of my favorite chapters in all of scripture. The beautiful unity of the church at large has always intrigued me. Regardless of gender, age, socio-economic class, ethnicity, or any other possible division, there can be oneness in love. It’s also no surprise that we also see fruit of the Spirit mentioned. […]
As I continue to think this week about the burden that Christ has bore for my sin, I’m reminded that I too have been instructed to bear another’s burdens. We live is a difficult and messy world. The Facebook view of people’s lives is not reality. Each of us carries a load in this […]
How can we look to the cross and the events leading up to it and come to the conclusion that Jesus was weak? What He endured was more pain than most of us will experience In a lifetime. Not to mention the heartbreak he felt over His people and above all the separation from His […]
