Because any other way would give you the credit! We want to attain our goals, walk out our dreams…live in our house with a white picket fence, 3 kids, a new car and a dog named scrappy. But it always seems so hard to get there. If you’re living for God it’s difficult because you’re [...]
We all are asked to do things by God that we think are crazy. Sometimes we do them…sometimes we don’t. My wife isn’t one to be in front of people, she loves the shadows and loves being in the background. Don’t get it mixed up, quiet doesn’t mean weak…it just means quiet. She was asked [...]
There’s nothing worse than knowing that you know something, only to eventually discover that you really had no idea of what you thought you knew…yep. Today would have marked the strangest, most awkward and overwhelmingly frightening day in history. When Jesus was on the cross the government, the soldiers and most of the people thought [...]
This time of year, the day before Good Friday I always feel a sadness. You may think, “You’re a Christian, Jesus Christ was raised and lives today!” You’re right, but I always think back 2,000 years ago when Jesus was just like us…human…but perfect in every way. How He was tragically and demonically framed and [...]
Above all things, before serving others, before loving others, before keeping the widows and feeding the children God desires for us to be in a relationship with Jesus Christ. When asked of the greatest commandment in Mark 12 Jesus responded by saying, 30 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, [...]
It may kill some of you to know this but the difference between good food and bad food is salt and butter…two things that we should not eat much of. I have recently jumped into an obsession for cooking. I like it, love is a strong word so I’ll go with like. After anything sports [...]
Four years ago we relocated to Springfield, Missouri due to my wife taking a job at Evangel University. Not only have these past four years been tremendous but we have made lasting relationships with students and staff of this great institution. When Tour 29:11 started in 2006 the purpose was to host events in stadiums, [...]
God’s love isn’t grace and tolerance, it’s grace and discipline and I’m afraid that difference makes all the difference in the world. Jude 1:3-5, 3 Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that [...]
Regardless of how bad a person wants to change, the person that they are can be spotted from a mile away. Humans are not instinctively stupid, if a person is fake, insecure, angry, frustrated, genuine, etc. it can be pegged by the human race. Granted, some have the gift of discernment and are able to [...]
Knowledge and wisdom is limited. You can research, read and know as much or as little about God and the Bible as you wish, but authentic revelation comes from God. Legit knowledge and groundbreaking wisdom can only come from God. Man will confuse and man will distort. The problem comes in when the doctrine changes [...]
Casey and I are blessed because she works out of our home and I work whenever I schedule. So, we have an ideal situation to raise a child without either one of us not being able to work. I am not traveling until the end of February so I can take care of Cayden and [...]
Boy oh boy how life has changed! Our house is littered with burp cloths and “passies” are as valuable as gold on Wall Street. I sat in bed this morning with my beautiful wife and gorgeous son thanking God for the life He has allowed me to live. However, over the last 4 years the [...]
I have taken somewhat of an abbreviated retirement over the last two weeks for two reasons. The first, coming into the new year I didn’t want to do anything but listen. So, I did just that. I haven’t written or done much of anything merely because I wanted to sit. Secondly, my son is almost [...]
Isn’t it funny, all the debate about the reason for Christmas? Every year it’s more drama and more bogus than the year before. All of the fuss, billboards, ads, and opinions don’t change a thing. People still celebrate Christmas, they have Christmas memories, and it’s to celebrate Jesus Christ and what He did for mankind…whether [...]
The feeling of being out of control, a mess, train wreck waiting to happen, or on the brink of straight of disaster is both humbling and terrifying. I’m not talking about a life situation or circumstance, I’m referring to you as a person. That feeling of complete and utter desperation. You can be a CEO, [...]
