Over the years I’ve talked many times about how the small things we do throughout our lives really make a difference. God uses these small things in big ways. One of the original posts I made on this was entitled, “How to Change the World Today!” Today I intend to change the world! I’m leavingContinue reading “Time is a Great Gift to Share”

Intentionally Bless Someone Every Day
As we prepare for this Christmas season, it will be easy to get caught up in the secular meaning of Christmas. To prepare for family gatherings, to go shopping and make sure we have gifts for everyone. We spend a ton of time decorating our houses. Many believers will take the time to attend theContinue reading “Intentionally Bless Someone Every Day”
Blessed to be a Blessing
A common saying around our church is “We are blessed to be a blessing.” God showers blessings on His people not so we can keep those blessings all for ourselves, but so we can bless others. Blessing others is enlightening and brings such joy to me personally, it helps me look for opportunities whereContinue reading “Blessed to be a Blessing”
The cup that overflows
I ran across the story in Matthew 14 where Jesus feeds the 5000. Most have heard the story I’m sure. The focus typically is that Jesus fed 5000 people with just 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. Pretty amazing stuff really. However, one thing I’ve overlooked in the past happens in verse 20. They Continue reading “The cup that overflows”
Roaring like a lion
This past week has been a lesson in the meaning of this Christmas season and a show of the love of Christ. Near a small town 30 minutes from my home, there is a small village instead another. One made of tents and inhabited by those that are living on the margins of society. God ledContinue reading “Roaring like a lion”
While we were sinners, Christ STILL died for us.
A favorite verse of mine is: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. – Romans 5:8 Notice what isn’t said in that verse. It doesn’t mention that Christ died only for the clean or the healthy, it doesn’t mention that he diedContinue reading “While we were sinners, Christ STILL died for us.”
Do Something Amazing in Your Day
The Lord replied, ‘Look at the nations and be amazed! Watch and be astounded at what I will do! For I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldn’t believe even if someone told you about it.’ -Habakkuk 1:5 These words were spoken to the prophet Habakkuk when he cried out to GodContinue reading “Do Something Amazing in Your Day”
Year of Thanksgiving
As we begin this week where we celebrate Thanksgiving here in the United States, I see many participating in the week-long (or some do month long) posts of what we are thankful for. I propose we do this year round, each and every day. Why not? We have so much to be thankful for. In thisContinue reading “Year of Thanksgiving”
Thanking God for One of the Greatest Gifts
God gives us many gifts and blessings throughout our lives. Starting with the gift of salvation right down to the gift of a beautiful day. The gift I want to acknowledge and thank the Lord for today, is the gift he gave to me 22 years ago today….my wife. My wife Holly and I startedContinue reading “Thanking God for One of the Greatest Gifts”
Things to Do During Challenging Times
Everyone of us will walk through challenging times in our lives…..over and over to be sure. It may be a temporary challenge that lasts only minutes. Or it could be a lifelong challenge that plagues us throughout our days here on earth. No matter what it is, it can seem the most important thingContinue reading “Things to Do During Challenging Times”
