  • how dare you?

    The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching; Jesus answered him, `I spake freely to the world, I did always teach in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews do always come together; and in secret I spake nothing; why me dost thou question? question those having heard what I Read more

  • Bust Your Bubble

    Little children, guard yourselves from idols. 1 John 5:21 Guard yourselves from idols. Guard yourselves from idols! Guard yourselves from idols? What does that mean? Why such emphasis? It’s the last sentence in arguable one of the most profound books of the Bible. “Guard yourselves from idols.” To ease into this passage I think we must Read more

  • a letter to you

    Dear Friend, It’s come to my attention today that things have not been working out for you. You planned on things happening a certain way. That you would be doing something different  by now. That the situation you’re in would of changed by now. And it seems to be that the demands you’ve made on Read more

  • refueled

    I met with a friend who needed refueling today. As we met and chatted about God and ministry and life you’d be tempted to believe that the words were the fueling.

  • His voice

    My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. -Matthew 10:27 I’m a pastor. I love to share the things of God. I love to tell others what I believe God is saying to them. And you’re reading this so I guess you’re okay with pastor’s like me doing this kind of thing. Read more

  • calling…

    “Come unto me, all ye labouring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest.”- Matthew 11:28 If your calling from God is simple and easy to understand, I recommend doing some backtracking and questioning whether or not it’s actually God’s calling you are following.
