We get slammed, devastated when we place our hope in man and not God. Man will disappoint, man is mortal and man will never be remotely close to 1% of who God is. When we place our hope in people, our hope is lost. It is better to not hope than to hope in man. [...]

If you love, serve, and submit to God as your King then He’s with you…even in temptation. There’s got to be a warm bubbly feeling that wells up deep within your emotional psyche when you know that the words of Hebrews 13:5 are true, “He will never leave or forsake you.” Temptation isn’t sin, sin [...]
You will always have opposition. No matter what you do or who you represent, there will always be the ones who delight in heckling and throwing stones at you. I would rather suffer for preaching the Gospel than to suffer for anything else. The best thing to do, do good at what you do…over and [...]
You lay lifeless on your bed dreaming and scheming of how tomorrow will look. You want answers to questions like how many galaxies there are, why do bad things happen to good people and who really assassinated JFK? All good questions. I don’t have answers but I do have insight. Like every other person I [...]
This is an article I read. I wanted to share it. It is written by George Wood, the General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God. A parishioner and friend of mine valiantly fought multiple sclerosis for over fifteen years before the Lord called her home. During her long bout with this disease, she spent hours [...]
There was a young fella named Timothy who was mentored by a great man we know as the Apostle Paul. Timothy was sent by Paul to the Church in Ephesus to combat false teaching. What an assignment? To set ‘em straight. Timothy was walking into a fire but did what he had to do. He [...]
Whenever we are discontent and impatient we wanna throw the book at someone or something. The hard part is realizing it’s on us, solely. It’s revealing weakness in us. Things and areas that we felt were stronger and more mature than they are proving to be. Paul wrote to the Philippians, “I know what it [...]
Jesus was our focus. What if? What if our kingdoms and enterprises weren’t as important as Jesus Christ. What if we weren’t concerned with attendance as a measuring stick for success? What if we spent more time celebrating restoration and less on celebrating congregations? What if there was no religious pride, people feeling closer to [...]
I woke up this morning with the words of this song running wildly through my mind, God bombarded me with grace and mercy. I felt like God just wanted me to know how much I meant to Him. I don’t know why I mean anything, I choose sin at times, I am imperfect, I think [...]
I think one of the most destructive things that can happen to a person is they run in front of God. It’s spiritually the equivalent of physically running out in front of a moving vehicle. Not one moving fast enough to kill you, just make you miserable, enough to make adjustments. If you’re not where [...]
Persevering is a lot like letting a bee sting you repeatedly instead of just smashing the booger. It’s like faith. Hoping in something you can’t see but believing it to be there. Faith is evident when you are in a time where you believe and have no reason to. Perseverance is evident when you press [...]
Throughout the year we hear screams, cries, hatred and blasphemy against God, yet on Easter people flood the churches to recognize to Him. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8), so why does Easter weekend become so special? Well…the obvious, this is the weekend we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection from the brutal [...]
