Self-esteem is something many people struggle with daily. They judge themselves from what they see others doing or what they think other people are. Self-esteem is always a struggle for those who believe in God. The one question most people struggle with in their walk with God is: How do I know that I am […]

Have you ever attempted to do something for God when there was strife in the house? It is not something we think about often, but, strife takes away the peace that has to be present for us to be able to minister effectively. I’m not talking about the devil fighting against us, I’m talking about […]

APRIL 28th…INTEGRITY!! IT’S BUILD IN THE SMALL THINGS!! Culture has taught us that it doesn’t matter what you do or how you handle the little things in life. They only look at how we deal with the big things we face. It’s not how they look at you doing big things in life, it’s how […]

APRIL 27th…CONNECTION!! I KNOW IT IS THERE!! I continue to be amazed at the technical advances being made in this world. To a man who started this life without a television in our home as a young child, it is totally astounding to use some of the technology that has been developed in my lifetime. […]

Life was designed by God to be enjoyed. We are to enjoy our family, our church, our community, our jobs, etc. The problem most people have today is that they put the emphasis on the wrong things in life. Yes, they love Jesus and are on their way to heaven, but they stress out on […]

Do you want today to be a day of joy or a day of gloom and doom? You determine what kind of day you are going to have by the way you start out today with your thoughts. Our thought process first thing in the morning sets the tone for the day. You have already […]

We are all accustomed to working and receiving a payday at the end of our work. We are either compensated for what we do or for the time we spend doing. Most people feel their relationship with God is determined by what they do. They think they must do certain things and not do other […]

Puppet shows that I grew up with are different from the computer puppet shows that we see now. The old puppets would be attached to strings that made them move as the operators moved their strings. People often think living a Christian life is like a puppet on a string. That is not true, you […]

The coronavirus has definitely caused a major setback to our country and our world. It is important to realize with every setback it is our responsibility to trust God for a comeback. We have all experienced setbacks in our lives. You can’t avoid having them. You may lose a job, a relationship may crumble, or […]

The regulations and quarantine of the COVID19 virus has all of us ready to do something. We are ready for things to get going again. We would start today if it were left up to us because it is in our nature to not wait, but to do something. If something is wrong, it is […]

How many said last Friday, “Thank God it is Friday, I can’t wait for my weekend.” Then, today arrives and we realize that we are starting out another Monday morning still tired, worn out, exhausted, and mentally fatigued. We’ve never taken time to get away from the pressure, stress, and worries that life brings on […]

Jesus challenged his disciples and His Church to be the light of the world. We are to shine so bright that others can see their way to God. In times of crisis and darkness, light shines the brightest. How many times have you met an automobile at night that had their lights on bright? It […]

The hardest thing to get used to during this COVID19 crisis is being separated from our friends. Shelter-in-place regulations have prohibited us from gathering with the ones we usually find comfort being with. The desire to be liked, and to be popular with people is something that most of us grew up with. The need […]

My wife and I were married almost 47 years ago. At the time, she drove a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 that was navy blue with two large white strips from front to back. I drove a 1970 Dodge Charger RT with a 440 magnum that was yellow with a black vinyl top. It is […]

It seems that every decision we make these days causes us to wonder whether or not we are doing the right thing to avoid the virus. You also wonder what each day we live in the shelter-in-place guidelines is doing to the economy of our country. You can find yourself in a whirlwind at the […]

I heard the story about an area of our country known as “Death Valley.” The valley is known to be a place where there is little to no life. The ground is barren and the dirt seems incapable of producing any form of plant life. But, something unusual happened in 2004, Death Valley received almost […]

Do you remember thinking as a child that your father could do anything? He was so strong, so fast, so smart, and able to repair almost anything you broke. Isn’t it amazing to have a Heavenly Father that is that and so much more. The God we serve is a BIG GOD! Nothing is impossible […]

How many times has someone told you that you were not going through your problems alone? How comforting was it to you to know that God is by your side and walking through the unknown times of your life with you? It is like a child that is afraid of the dark. They will not […]

Even though this will be the most unusual Easter in my lifetime due to shelter-in-place regulations for the COVID19 virus, I still love the celebration of the Resurrection! To let our minds venture back to the breaking of dawn, the stone being rolled back and the Son of Man coming forth victorious over death, hell, […]

APRIL 11th….SATURDAY!! DAY OF CHANGE!! COVID19 has changed our world in a way none of us have ever experienced. Today we are doing things we have never experienced and never expected. Shelter-in-place, isolation, wearing masks and gloves, unemployment, scrambling for simple things in life like toilet paper and groceries is unprecedented in our lifetimes. It […]

Today, we celebrate the day Jesus died on the cross. It has become known as Good Friday. The events leading up to this day we celebrate and the events that took place on this day are anything but pleasant to think about. The things that Jesus suffered were horrendous, yet, the only words he would […]

MARCH 9TH..GOD IS CONSISTENT!! HE NEVER CHANGES!! How long has it been since you spent this much time together? Being around people as much as you have to be with this shelter in place regulation we are abiding by really let’s you get to know one another doesn’t it? We see changes in behavior we […]

The outlook for the COVID-19 results are changing daily. One day the outlook looks better, the next it is dismal at best. It is easy for us to start to worry about our future. We face the option daily of praying and turning everything over to God, or worrying about things that we can’t do […]

I am amazed each spring when the ground begins to turn green just how many different types of weeds come up in my yard. Each year I spray and fertilize, but each spring the weeds seem to return. If I don’t take care of removing the weeds, the grass will be starved out by them. […]

I like the new commercial about the boy who comes in to tell his parents of the accident he has had in the family car going through this really narrow drive through. He had already called the insurance company and found out they had accident forgiveness and everything was taken care of. No one has […]
