Flip the Willingness Switch

If God has prompted you about something, don’t think He will simply give up. The easiest path is obedience, and that starts with willingness. The “on” switch to willingness is inside of you—and only you can flip it.

Don’t Quench the Spirit

All of us tend to read Scripture through the lens of our own wants, needs, and prejudices. This Bible is full of things to which we can gladly shout, “Amen, brother. Preach that!” Some things, however, require a conscious effort to understand and apply.

Can You See the Grace?

Watch for the grace of God on others. Recognize it. Encourage it. Help them find ways to use it and grow. You might be surprised at the result.

He’s Good All the Time

The Lord is good and HIs mercy endures forever. That's God's favorite chorus. Sing it regularly and it will improve your attitude.

God Uses Everyday People

From Adam to Abraham to Moses to Peter and Paul and to us, the Lord chooses to use humans as His co-workers on Earth. He touches people and speaks to them through us.

The Blood Still Speaks

I have become so used to talking with the Lord that I sometimes take it for granted. My heart goes out to those who are still tormented by guilt and shame, that nagging sense that God is somehow angry with them. It keeps them in fear of the very One who can help them. Thank God for the blood of Jesus that speaks up on our behalf.

The Lord Will Come Like Rain

The Lord is waiting for the latter rain, that big shower that comes just before the harvest to push the crop to completion. When the fruit of the earth, the harvest of souls, is brought to the barn, then the farmer will come for His crop.

Happy 250, America!

250 years of America! What a great place and time to be alive. We are privileged to be here. We are purposed to be here. Let's do our part.

Pray for One Another

Don’t let condemnation or shame keep you away from God’s promise. It may help to share with someone you trust and let them pray with you. Remember the goal: God wants you whole, inside and out.

Don’t be a Stranger

I'm old. Sometimes I just need to vent, but other times it seems important to share that with someone else. So here you go: I believe that church is important, and so does God. In fact, He put His Son in charge of it!
