Faith vs Feelings
I think it’s interesting when we consider Father God’s divine designs for His Kingdom. One of those designs is faith. Hebrews 11:6 declares “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of...
The Lifter of My Head
“But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, And the lifter of my head.” Psalms 3:3 David wrote this beautiful Psalm during one of the darkest seasons of his life. It is a prayer for God to deliver him from his many enemies. If you know much about David’s...
I Am The Lord Your Healer: Thoughts on Divine Healing
“Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits – Who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases.” Psalm 103:2-3 As many of you know, I am in a fight to save my eye sight. I began aggressively losing vision in my left eye. I had a surgery to correct...
Numbers vs Fruit
“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.” 3 John 1:4 Spiritual progress in the lives of God's people means everything to a pastor. I can identify with the Apostle John’s pastoral heart when he wrote in his 3rd Epistle, “I have no...
Running On Empty
“Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.” Colossians 1:28-29 I host a weekly prayer gathering each...
Weakening the Gospel
Acts 4 is riveting as it takes the reader of God’s Word through a remarkable story of courage and boldness. When Peter and John are arrested because of the miracle of the lame man and the preaching of Peter’s sermon in Acts 3, the author of Acts, Luke, is going to...
10 Biblical Reasons Jesus Came to Die
Martin Luther once referred to the Gospel as a treasure chest. I love that metaphor and I want to use the same illustration for today’s devotional. Like opening a treasure chest and admiring its rubies, pearls and sapphires, I want us to handle carefully these...
It is not Death to Die: 5 Reasons Why Christians Should Not Fear Death
My thoughts this week have been on John 11:25 after the passing of a good friend and leader in PCC. I have been staggered by the outpouring of love, the sufficient strength of God’s grace as well as the comfort and compassion of God’s people. Jesus boldly declares in...
Counterfeit Money, Counterfeit Christians & Assurance of Salvation
“By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.” 1 John 3:10 I’m not sure if anything causes more damage to Christianity...
Missed Timing: A Tragic Love Story
One of the greatest joys I have as a pastor is having a front row seat to God’s ability to restore marriages. For the last couple of years, I have conducted numerous counseling sessions with the lion’s share of those sessions dealing with marriage and divorce. I am...
Why PCC Prays for Healing
This Sunday is an unusual day for PCC. We are teaching on healing and plan to pray for people suffering from sicknesses. You wouldn’t think that is unusual would you? It wasn’t for the early church. It would have been a typical day for them. Why is it strange for PCC...
Walls of Faith – How God is Building PCC in A Season of Struggle
“The Lord has done Great Things for us, we are filled with joy.” Psalms 126:3 To say this year has been difficult would be an understatement. The sickness, the snow and the setbacks have taken a toll. However, this past week I have seen God change the season of my...
