Strong Enough to Save
Every once in a while, I run across arm wrestling on TV. I always pause because the people who are competing are real characters. They do everything possible to show off their big arms, hoping to intimidate their opponents. It always makes me think of how big my God is. I picture Him with big […]
Do You Hear His Voice?
The human ear is incredibly adept at distinguishing voices. A parent can detect the cry of their child in a group of children and know how much they are hurt. You can hear a voice from years ago and recognize it even though you don’t recognize the person. We are also equipped to hear the […]
Break the Chains
There isn’t a week that goes by where I don’t hear a story about someone who is caught in the trap of drugs or alcohol. What it does to the person, and the damage it causes in the family is heartbreaking. So many people are searching for answers on how to overcome it. Isaiah shows […]

The heart is the place where all of our emotions reside. It’s where our feelings are birthed, and they guide much of our throughs and actions.

While they may be experts in their field, you will often find them […]
Do the Right Thing
The best advice I received when I started in ministry was to do the right thing. Sounds simple but the right thing is rarely the popular thing. The right thing often exposes that which is wrong, and that scares people. Very few people have the guts to do the right thing. They want people to […]
Walk in Victory
Have you ever noticed the difference in body language between a team that wins and one that loses? For those who just won their heads are lifted high, and there is a bounce in their step. For those who lost they’re hanging their heads and dragging their feet. Many Christians are walking around with their […]
Bursting at the Seams
My parents took our family cherry-picking one summer. It was at a beautiful farm with hundreds of cherry trees. I was ecstatic because cherries are one of my favorite fruits. I remember taking the bag the I was given and stuffing it with as many cherries as possible. It was bursting at the seams. My […]
Model of Integrity
It is hard to find anyone who is a model of integrity today. You look to celebrities, athletes, and politicians and all of them tell people what they want to hear, or they are so disrespectful of those they disagree with that it is repulsive. Paul tells Titus to be a model of integrity in […]
