Fear Is A Liar

It comes in many shapes and sizes, insidiously hiding its true nature to trick us into believing the lies it lays between us and our destiny.

Why Would God Care About Me?

Something I hear from students and young adults constantly is that they want to know what God says about them. There are approximately 7.4 billion people in the entire world. “Why would God care about me?” That is a common question I get and something that breaks my heart. God knows, loves, and cares for…

Trojan Horse

If you’ve ever played anything competitively, games, sports, etc., you’re probably familiar with the idea of studying your opponent and looking for a weakness you can exploit for your own gain. In most sports, it’s finding a way to score more points than they do. In a game, maybe you’re trying to achieve something faster, […]

Reverence Eyes

When we stop and contemplate how awe-inspiring God is, how complete He is from all-knowing to all-seeing, it’s impossible to truly consider who He is without feeling really, really small and insignificant. Once we’ve landed in that spot, His love can really work in us, as we learn that the creator of all created us, […]

Building Your Skyline

Encouragement is the ultimate construction tool. Nothing builds up faster, elevates quicker or edifies with greater success than encouragement. There is no greater motivator. We’re all tortured with doubts, as fear tries to imprison us in a cage made with bars of disbelief. For many, this crippling assault prevents us from ever achieving much of […]

You were created with divine […]

I feel confined and caged, as if the surrounding vehicles have clipped my wings, preventing me from soaring wherever I’m led. Yesterday, my friend Evan McKeel made a comment to me that brought the realization I’m not alone in this […]

In my reading this morning I came across a passage I’ve read dozens of times before. For some reason, it jumped out at me as something to share – so maybe it’s something you need to hear today, who knows. Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and […]

Love Never Ends

Current headlines would have us all believe our problems begin and end with political figures, diets, gun control or any number of other agendas pushed on us by those who profit in some way or another from media outlets, both social and corporate. The reality is our problems all stem from a lack of one […]

Why Bad is Good…

Why do we crave everything to go well for us? Why do we want treasures on Earth? Why do we crave a good life? What is it that we think we’ll gain? When everything is working beautifully, we often turn our backs on the best there is. Having an over abundance of blessings here leads […]
