transformation of weaknesses
Yesterday I had the opportunity to sit with my oldest daughter. We were waiting on her fiance’s family to all arrive. They are taking a two week vacation to Florida. I was driving part of them in her finance’s car to the airport and returning his car to their home…

Redemption is life changing
I heard a story about a preacher who saw a pattern. Year after year people would get excited, come to the tent revivals. They would make a tearful confession at the altar. Make a commitment to “change” and after three weeks, the people would disappear until the next tent revival.…

can’t throw stones when washing feet
I came across this saying a while back. There was a really dumb saying most people my age (late 30s early 40s) will remember. It became the cornerstone of schools and guidance counselor posters all over school. Sticks and stone may break my bones, but words won’t. What an incredibly…

the most insidious net
Can I ask you an honest question? If your entire life story, ALL of it, your secrets and all, was played out on a big screen for the entire world to see, how would that make you feel? What was your response just now? I believe it was either a…

When we think of a net, twenty years ago, we would have been thinking about a hair net or maybe a fishing net. In today’s world, we almost automatically think of the world wide web, or as we call it, the net. The internet. I came across an interesting verse…

finishing what we start: discipline
It has been an amazing journey to dig into God’s Word to look at why we find ourselves in the middle of a project, goal or commitment and we grow weary. We get tired, frustrated, distracted and disappointed, lose our focus, and why does that happen. We have looked at…

finish what you start: frustration
Yesterday I opened a topic of why do we not finish what we start? I zoned in on the first reason being, our focus. Where is your focus? Let us look at our verse again: 11 Now also finish the task, so that just as there was an eager desire, there…
