I think sometimes people get the wrong idea about Christianity. Like, perhaps it is a ticket to heaven. Once you obtain your ticket, you may go right back to living however you want to, with this security that you will live one day forever in heaven with Jesus. This is not how the saved life …
What marks are you ashamed of?
One of the things I love about the Holy Spirit is He can/will speak to us anywhere, anytime as long as we are listening for Him. This morning He gave me this thought at the gym. It was so good I want to share it with you. While walking from one area of Planet Fitness …
What’s your excuse?
It’s been said that witnessing to another person, or sharing the gospel, is simply one poor man telling another poor man from whence he got his bread. If you purchased some life changing remedy for something, or a gadget that made your life insanely better, wouldn’t you want to shout it from the rooftops? We …
How to clean your house
1 Corinthians 6:12-20 reminds us that our body belongs to the Lord once we are a child of God. “Now the body is…for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.” 1 Corinthians 6:13. What we do with our physical self matters to God. (This includes your mind, your outward appearance, your health, etc.) So …
A Home Full of Joy
1 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. 2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief. 3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: 4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

You CAN do all things…
No matter what you’re going through, no matter what seems hard right now, you have the power to go through it. If Christ is living in you, you have the power of the Holy Spirit on the inside of you. You already have the victory. Have you tapped into His strength? The same power that …
A caution against being led astray!
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 2 Peter 3:17 While living in this wicked world, we are all susceptible to venturing down the wrong path. We try to guard ourselves the best we can, …
Take a Look In the Mirror!
Do you ever just take a good look at yourself in the mirror? I mean just stop what you’re doing and look? I’ll be honest, sometimes it is very hard to look at myself, see blemishes and not try to cover up or justify them. I don’t want others to see my faults or failures. …
The qualities of a GOOD Church
Today’s blog post comes from Acts 20 and 21. While doing my studies this morning about the way Paul and others behaved themselves in the early Church, I noticed many wonderful qualities. Qualities of a loving Pastor, a faithful community of believers, and behaviors characteristic of both. I want to share these with you. If …
Tempting, but no thank you!
When I was a child “Just Say No!” was the “catch phrase” for how to handle temptations. Drugs, strangers enticing you to come with them, etc. I still remember D.A.R.E. (drug abuse resistance education) and later G.R.E.A.T. (gang resistance education and training) classes teaching us how to say NO to things that would harm us …
