One of the greatest things in all the world is entering into the presence of God. Nothing compares with God’s presence, whether it is in a church service or in your bed room, or on the way to work or school. There’s nothing like it. Is it possible to create an atmosphere that is more […]

The One Jesus Loved Most
Who did, who does Jesus love most? There were so many people in His life here on earth, is it possible that He loved one above the other? We know that Jesus is love and He loves the whole world, but does one person stand out above the rest? The answer to this simple question […]
Lamb Selection Day
Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,’ – Isaiah 46:10 God declares the end from the beginning. Centuries before things happen, He has already seen it. He is the Alpha and Omega. God has […]
How The Gospel Was Preached
I remember years ago getting an email from a ‘ministry company’ that sold, among other things, sermon series for all different kinds of ministries. One of their “selling points” was that having a pre-made sermon series freed up your time so you could spend it on “more important” things like building relationships. While the thought […]
The Trap of False Success
We have a thing in the church for getting results. I think we get it from the business world. Everyone wants a ROI – Return On Investment. Why wouldn’t they? You put a lot of resources, finances, and hard work into something, you want it to pay off. There’s a bamboo species that takes 100-120 […]
One Answered Questions From God
I’m part of several groups on Facebook that are for youth ministers. And many times I am utterly amazed by the things that are posted. All of these groups are for all different denominations, so there are a variety of beliefs that are in the group. But I am utterly amazed sometimes by the things […]
A Counterfeit God
The world, and when I say world, I mean the whole world, throws around the term “god” so much that you don’t know what anyone is talking about unless you’re given more information about this “god” or the one talking. If you’re in the south in the United States, you’ll hear “God bless their heart” […]
The Expectation of Offense
It seems like everyone is getting offended these days. Everywhere you look, someone is offended because someone said something about someone. People are made to make empty apologies on social media because of the backlash from the masses. Even waves of Christians get offended because a coffee company takes Christmas trees off their cups. It’s […]
You’re Going To Hell Because You Didn’t Accept Jesus And You Dunk Your Fries In A Frosty
Yes, dipping your french fries in a Frosty – any kind of ice cream is uncalled for and the unpardonable sin. If you visit a Wendy’s and dare to combine those two items, the blood of Jesus can cover your sins, but not that sin. Sounds stupid, huh? Well, that’s because it is. But how […]
The Pac-Man Life
Have you ever thought that life was like a video game? Have you ever looked at something and just made the connection that this is the same exact thing I would have to do in that one game to finish the level. If not, I’ll assume you’ve never packed a car for vacation and played Tetris.
