The Way
Today’s demagogues are pushing the lie that A.I. and other advanced technologies can create eternal life and 2.0 humans that become their own god. Therefore, heaven is a fantasy and hell is a fictitious place that can be dismissed. Yet Jesus spoke of hell at least 20...
Now
Does Satan often remind you of your past? It seems he keeps a detailed record of our mistakes and failures, and he has a way of bringing them up right as God begins to move in our life. For many it’s one step forward, two steps back, in their spiritual...
The Power of Obedience
Do you believe Jesus understands the needs of your life? In my view, the story of the coin in the fish’s mouth not only proves that Jesus understands our practical necessities, but that he orchestrates every detail. It is interesting to me that this...
Assurance of Salvation
It is not uncommon for a Christian to doubt his salvation at some point in his spiritual journey. Have you worried that something is wrong with you because questions and doubts have come to your mind? If so, take heart, because you are not alone, and...
Defeating Shame
Shame is a fierce adversary to a believer’s life. As hard as one tries, it is not conquered so easily. It has a way of rearing its ugly head, accusing us of the past, and condemning us in the present. Shame is defined as “a painful feeling of...
Whom Shall I Serve
It is impossible to walk in obedience to God’s will and purposes if we serve our own fleshly desires. We find a perfect example in the story of Achen, who made the unfortunate choice of choosing the world’s offerings over the will and purposes of God. The Israelites...

Several years ago, I had the opportunity to do a pastoral sabbatical in Ireland. I was not only amazed at how green the landscape was, but I loved how many random flocks of sheep I ran into. It seemed every few miles, I would stop the car to allow sheep to...
God—Encourager & Protector
It is easy to become discouraged when we see things happening in this world that make no logical sense. But we can be confident that God is our rescuer, for He is in control and wants us encouraged, trusting, and filled with faith. When I think about encouragement and...
Build Yourself Up
When I was young in my faith and needed encouragement, I would look for it in others. I can remember hoping that someone would call me or indicate that they were praying for me. As I have grown in the Lord, I have learned that God expects me to encourage...
Darkness and Wickedness Reign
The United States is experiencing an increasing epidemic of apostasy (the abandonment of belief in God and His resurrected Son, Jesus Christ), while the growth of Christianity is exploding in other nations around the world. How did this nation that was founded on...
The Secret Place
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the almighty. (Psalm 91:1) Life is uncertain as we watch the world spin out of control. But Jesus said, “I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or...
