Change Your Perspective
Seeing an issue from another point of view can be refreshing. Stepping back and taking another look at it can also show us what we were missing initially. When you change your perspective, it opens a whole new world. Paul challenges us to look at our walk with Jesus in a whole new light today. […]
It Is Finished
It’s Good Friday. Why is it called that when Jesus was put to death on the cross? It’s because of the work that was accomplished by Him that day. It appeared terrible for Him, but in reality, it was the whole reason He came to earth, and the end result of what was completed gives […]
I Thirst
Nothing is as refreshing as a cold drink of water when you have been working hard. It is essential to our bodies that we keep hydrated, or we start to suffer ramifications like a dry mouth and blurred vision, but if it continues, we can see more harmful damage. When Jesus was on the cross, […]
My God Why Have You Forsaken Me?
I think it is safe to say that the number one fear people have today is being alone. That tops the fear of heights and speaking in front of people. To be forsaken, which means left alone by ourselves, can be devastating. It was devastating when Jesus was left alone on the Cross. That’s why […]
With Jesus in Paradise
If you ask any person on the street if they are going to heaven, they will most likely tell you that they are, if you ask them why they will tell you because they are a good person. Everybody wants to be with Jesus in paradise, but the two thieves on the cross show us […]
Father Forgive Them
We are entering Holy Week, where we look at the events leading up to the cross. Often, I like to write on the last sayings of Jesus on the cross. The next five days will be five of the seven last sayings Jesus uttered before His death. Today we look the first thing he said […]
Living with Power-Packed Faith
With no sports on TV for the foreseeable future, channels like ESPN are scrambling for programming. I was hoping that they would harken back to the early days of the channel and show the World’s Strongest Man competitions. There is nothing like seeing men pulling locomotives with a rope attached to their waists. The World […]
Power to Pardon
The leaders of most countries have the power to pardon criminals from their crimes, free them from their prison sentences. With one small declaration and a signature, that person who was incarcerated is now free. In an instant, their lives change. While those crimes they have committed are erased, the sin still remains. The only […]
We Need More than Bread
Have you tried to buy flour lately? Every grocery store that I go to is completely sold out. Sure, you can purchase almond flour and coconut flour, but those are cheap imitations of the real thing. When a crisis hits, people fall back on those things that are essential, like flour, sugar, and water. Bread […]
Where the Power of Christ Dwells
The Apostle Paul was a man who moved in the power of Christ. The New Testament is lined with how God worked through him. The Holy Spirit’s anointing was upon him on his missionary travels, but he discovered where the power of Christ dwells. It was in the place he least expected, and he learned […]
