From Slavery to Power in Egypt
I love reading through the Old Testament and uncovering hidden gems, foreshadowings, and pictures of Jesus intertwined throughout. Today, I was reading in Genesis about the account of Joseph, how, after his brothers sold him into slavery, God lifted him to power in Egypt. To provide some context, Their father, Jacob(Israel), favored Joseph over the rest of his eleven brothers. Joseph was the…

Embrace the Life-Transforming Power of the Word of God
2023 is coming to a close. New hope, renewed dreams, and an invigorated desire for change come with a new year. It is a time of year when many clear the slate and resolve to be better, do better, and improve their lives. Most resolutions focus on health and fitness, personal development, spiritual growth, financial stability, and accountability. But allow me to elevate one thing above all…

Christmas: What's It All About, Anyway?
For many, Christmas is the pinnacle of the year. The enjoyment of family and friends, gift-giving, festivities, decorations, music, holiday foods, and entertainment. For others, it is a time of sorrow. It is a remembrance of lost loves or a reminder of one’s impoverished standard of living and inability to measure up in an increasingly materialistic world where money forms the basis of societal…

Think Jesus is Important?!
Do you have any semblance of faith in Jesus? What does He mean to you? Is He a role model, a fictional character in folklore, or an actual historical figure? Is He merely a good teacher or almighty God of the universe? Do you claim that He died on the cross and rose again to provide salvation to humankind? Do you believe you can know Him personally and that a relationship with Him is real…

You Can Do It!
I just watched this motivational video and it really pumped me up to go after my dreams! …to let nothing stop me! …to lay it all on the line and give everything I have in me to accomplish my goals! It was amazing and exhilarating! But I can do nothing without Christ Jesus, who strengthens me. However, with Jesus, I can do all things! He is my strength, my sword, my shield! …my hope in…

Never Forsaken
This morning in church we sang an incredible song by Meredith Andrews-Not For a Moment (After All). Not for a moment will You forsake me This one line in particular stood out to me and really made me appreciate the great sacrifice Jesus made at the cross.  The Bible gives us many promises of God, among which is the promise that, as believers, God will never leave us nor forsake us.  This is only…

Honor Everyone
As I was reading through 1 Peter, I came across a short two-word sentence at the beginning of chapter 2 verse 17 that stopped me in my tracks… 1 Pet 2:17 Honor everyone. Honor everyone, period. Not honor everyone who is a christian. Not honor every one of your own race, gender, ethnicity, religion, age, perceived sexual orientation, criminal record,…or any other perceived difference of opinion…

Is Christ Is enough for me?
Last Sunday we sang the song “Christ is Enough”, by Hillsong, in our worship service.  All week I have had the lyrics of this fabulous song running through my head. When I had my accident in 1990, Jesus Christ was already an important part of my life.  With this foundation I was able to let go of my gymnastics ambitions and direct my attention to new challenges.  What we have in this world is so…

Catholic, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Protestant,...or any other church affiliation: Are you saved?
After spending a lot of time reading and studying Paul’s letters, It has become more and more apparent to me that many churches around the world are guilty of preaching a different gospel than the one originally proclaimed by the early church fathers. Before I go any further, I want to be clear that I am in no way condemning any one church or individual because of religious affiliation.  I…

To be called by God...
In the beginning of the book of Numbers, God gives Moses, by name, twelve individuals to be heads of the ancestral tribes of the Israelites. It is interesting to think about what this moment and these individuals were like at that time in the history of Israel. Were they already influential in the community and well-respected? Were they young and inexperienced, but on the track to leadership? Or…

Just Pray
The condition of our country is about the worst it has ever been, and there are few signs that any improvement is coming soon. God’s blessing on our country appears to be waning, and unless, somehow, we can get our leaders to recognize and get back to the roots our country was founded on, we will spiral down a path of destruction from which we can never recover without divine…

God's Way or My Way
God's Way is My Way
As I was reading Proverbs 15 a couple of days ago, I had some thoughts about the paths that our lives take. God is always working in our lives. The instruction we receive, the reproofs that we receive, discipline that comes our way, and everything else that happens in and around us all combine to steer our lives according to God’s ultimate purpose and plan. Proverbs 15-16:9 31 ¶  The ear that…

A Call to Arms!
A Call to Arms! http://wp.me/p4FyFa-6o
The last two mornings I was awakened up to an hour early with a burden on my heart to pray for our church, and especially the men in our church. This past Sunday evening, I was privileged to take part in what I would call the most powerful event I have ever attended. Our church held a men’s convocation, in which we were all called out to rid our lives of the idols that we cling to, and devote…

Living by Pride Or Laying It down
Being able to receive instruction gracefully is not something we are born with the ability to do. We are all born with pride in our hearts, and we like to think that we know everything. We like to think we don’t need anyone to tell us what to do or how to do it. But the Bible teaches that there are consequences to holding onto and rewards for ridding our hearts of the pride that we have in…

Known by God and God by You
Psalm 28:9 “And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever. This morning, this verse stood out to me as of utmost importance in how we order our lives and determine…

Am I Living a Façade?
Am I Living a Façade? http://wp.me/p4FyFa-6w
Am I truly saved, or am I deceiving myself and living a façade? That is a question that was recently posed to me. And how can you truly know? Or can you? Is it even possible? Before I go any further, let me define what I am referring to when I use the word “saved”. This word is used with the understanding that man is sinful, having violated God’s law, with the consequence of being eternally…
