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 […]
SOUTH DAKOTA AFTERMATH
I am having such a difficult time switching gears. I’m home now, I have been for about a day. It’s hard to think through everything I need to do. It’s pretty hard to relate. I had such an eye-opening trip that I kind of need to close eyes a bit. The struggle now is to […]
SOUTH DAKOTA DAY… I DON’T EVEN KNOW ANYMORE
I’m still blown away by the beauty of it all. This place is probably the most beautiful place I’ve ever been to. However it’s still a heartbreaking place to be. We got a lot of work done these last two days and today Zak and I had the chance of teaching the main church meeting. […]
