So many people these days are alone. Surrounded by people, large “friends” lists on social media and yet still alone. The reasons for this are many. Distraction, preoccupation, busyness are at the top of the list.

What I need today
Do you know what you need today? Do you even know the next step to take? I find myself today (like pretty much every other day!) in need of the Lord to guide me. It is the wisdom from God that I am most in need of. What should I be thinking on today? HowContinue reading “What I need today”
Does your Christianity matter?
You and I will do 100 different things this week. Some of those things may have a significant impact on us personally as well as on our sphere of influence and our legacy. Other things that we do may not matter quite so much. What color toothbrush we pick out or what condiment we putContinue reading “Does your Christianity matter?”
Another Monday
Another Monday Now what? Spring break has come and gone. The adventures were had, the experiences enjoyed and the memories formed. Now back to life. Back to the to-do list, back to the expectations, hopes, dreams, and fears. We put life “on hold” for a week, but it still waited for us to return. WillContinue reading “Another Monday”
The devastation of distraction
Distracted driving results these days in thousands of fatalities per year. Distracted parenting results in exasperated children who feel unloved, unimportant and unwanted. Distracted living is a strategic trap the devil is using to destroy families, churches, and faith.

You are called to live more than a status quo, half-way, lukewarm, so-so kind ofContinue reading “Becoming saints, elders and people of great faith”
Give God your junk
“Encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin…Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts” Hebrews 3:13 &15 Dear Christian, I want to encourage you today. I want to impart to you courageContinue reading “Give God your junk”
Living with the mystery
Why? I don’t know. It just doesn’t make sense. All of these are things that you and I might think or say on any given week. The reason for this is because we live in a fallen world where many sad, hurtful and broken things occur and even hurt and affect us. We may askContinue reading “Living with the mystery”
An urgency to our testimony
We live in a fast food culture. Waiting 3 minutes for our food is too long and waiting 30 seconds for a red light is enough to set people off in fits of rage. In so many ways we live too fast, too furious and as such live distracted from the most important things. ThereContinue reading “An urgency to our testimony”
