Looking Ahead

Looking Ahead

Last year at this time, I was praying and asking the Lord to give me a “word” for 2009. A word that I could focus on and study for the entire year. A word that God would use in my life to make me more like Him. As I prayed and read [...]

Descending Into Greatness

Descending Into Greatness

A world renowned leader has said for years, “I’ll see you at the top!” Should this be our mantra as believers? Should we strive to reach the top? How does one get there anyway? Hard work? Intellect? Connections? Money? Charisma? How does one ascend to the top? Jesus provided a glimpse of a path to [...]

The Power To Forget

The Power To Forget

If you are like me I have lost my car keys a million times. I used to think that there were small aliens in my home who would hide my keys and then enjoy watching me search for them. It seems like as we get older we forget a whole lot more. [...]

Reaping and Sowing in 2010

Reaping and Sowing in 2010

I preached yesterday from Galatians 6:7-10 about “Reaping and Sowing in 2010.” I fear that we often get frustrated or blame God for where we are or end up in life, when really we are simply reaping what we have sown in our lives. I guess I could say, I think we’re too [...]

On this day, sixteen years ago, I became spiritually alive. The Father made me a new creation. Through Jesus I won total victory.
This Christmas I have a [...]

The First Christmas List

The First Christmas List

As a child, one of my favorite things to do around this time of year was coming up with my Christmas list. I can remember spending hours going through catalogues and ads in the newspaper trying to create the perfect list with the hope that when Christmas day came, there might be a few of [...]

I Don’t Want To Miss It

I Don’t Want To Miss It

The past few years I feel like I have not really taken full advantage of the Christmas season. Maybe I’m just getting older and the responsibilities of work and family don’t allow me hours upon hours to sit and watch Christmas movies on TBS all during this season. I told my wife a few weeks [...]

Football Bowl Predictions

Football Bowl Predictions

Each year I take a little “blog time” to talk about the really important things of life – college football bowl games. Now, I am an avid college football fan and a major supporter of a football playoff system that leads to an “on the field champion.” However, this has not happened yet, [...]
