Take the Backseat to Your Worry
It’s not always best to call shotgun. When I was younger, my grandparents or parents and I would take a trip to Pigeon Forge every summer. Most of the time my younger brother and a few cousins would go along too. So there we were, packed into the back seat of this small, four door…

When there’s no Direction
“Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life.” How much would faith be worth if you were already certain you would acquire what you were believing for? Faith is built around believing for the yet to be seen. In Proverbs 3:5-6 it says “Trust in the Lord with all your…

Choose Your Stones
If you are covered by the blood of Christ, the question is not “Are you equipped?” but “Do you know, you’re equipped? “Making you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.” -Hebrews 13:21…

Not so Distant Love
God I pray that you will give us a true, agape love for those that oppose us; not an irritated, unforgiving, distant love but a brotherly, non envious love.

He Said Nothing

Jesus is the Balance
We find ourselves endlessly searching for the balance, forgetting that stability is only found in Him. “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” -Mattheww 6:33 I’m one of the least coordinated humans on the face of this earth we’re living on. To prove…

The Situation of Sin
[1/2 series] Sin is born a time after its conception. To win over sin, we have to stop waiting to kill off sin in it’s fully developed state and start nipping it in the bud of its creation. “But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil…

Not this Lord
Obedience looks like buying a house that only God has the keys to. “Trust in the lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding.” – Proverbs 3:5 My class of twenty-three 4-5 year olds bicker like crazy. Before kids you would never think someone could actually cry for twenty minutes over spilled…
