Likewise, every person and their specific gifting/role are all equally important and necessary. Our lives must be connected in a way much more significant than just showing up to meetings. We must know what’s going on with each other. We need fail-safes just like the fast-food restaurant. If one person can’t teach the meeting one week – having someone else be ready, willing, and competent enough to take over is significant.

The Anonymous Billionaire (Romans 12 Part 1)
You’re a millionaire now! If an anonymous billionaire gave you a million dollars, it would be a pretty amazing gift. From that point forward, money would never be a problem for you. What a relief. Now, what if the following week he decides to buy you a car? You’d have enough respect to thank him […]
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Saved My Life (my trip to [redacted])
The trip to ///// was eye-opening, to say the least. God showed me things about himself that I had not seen previously. God is very big, and his presence is felt around the world. I got to witness first-hand, a miracle, and heard stories of others. I got to teach a large crowd of //////// […]
my dad left too soon
My dad was a liar. My dad was a cheater. My dad was a thief! He thought he was so funny… You know what’s funny? When you leave behind your wife, kids, and the rest of your family – all because you can’t stop drinking. What a joke! My dad was a quitter. My dad […]
The Introduction to Titus is a Big Deal
TITUS 1:1-4
1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ to further the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness—
2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time,
3 and which now at his appointed season he has brought to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior,
4 To Titus, my true son in our common faith:
Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
Sometimes it’s Hard to Feel Forgiven
If you have accepted Christ, you are forgiven of all of your sins. If you told God that you know you are a sinner and you need his Son’s death on the cross to count for you, your sins are forgiven. If the Holy Spirit is indeed within your heart – your sins are forgiven. […]
Three Examples of the Way We Be (1 Samuel 1-3)
There are many lessons to learn from 1 Samuel, some of which are found in the first few chapters. While studying it to teach the first chapter, and from continuing on past where we left off in home church, I’ve found some interesting things I can’t help but write about. What’s very cool is how […]
Don’t Follow In My Footsteps Because I Might Have Stepped In Something
[thats me in the middle way back] My life has had many ups and downs. I’ve spent a large amount of it in the dark. It’s taken me far too long to recognize my sin issues. Luckily now that I have, it didn’t even take a day to realize I had to take care of […]
Change, from the inside out.
A young fellow college student recently told me her whole life story. Growing up she was very sheltered as her parents tried to raise her to be a “good girl”. She went to private Catholic school and up until high school, she was successfully protected from anything dangerous. Nobody was ever mean to her and […]
The Life of Peter
For the last few weeks I have been studying the life of Peter. The amount of resources available on Peter are nowhere near as available as just about any other major character in the bible. However, his life is one of the most fascinating, in my opinion, out of all the other biblical characters. […]
