My wife and I were having our Bible study today, which graciously brought us deep into the book of Judges. If you’ve ever read Judges, you know the overall journey can be a bit debilitating to the spirit… and it might just make you question the overall sanity of humans. […]

Do you want God to bless you today? For me, there isn’t a day that goes by when I couldn’t use a double portion of His blessings in my life. You never know what trials you might face, and it could be His blessing that pulls you through to the […]
Has God ever brought you out of a wilderness? After days, weeks, months, or maybe even years of struggle – it could be financial, health-related, family-related, or in our marriages – God helped you overcome something. You felt pretty great, right? You probably felt a lot like the children of […]
What is your most beloved vice? You know… that one bad activity that you just can’t seem to stop… no matter how hard you try? Whether it’s impatience, over-eating, lack of exercise, procrastination, or any other bad habit – one thing is for certain: Humans (like you and me) can […]
Are you worried about this years election? A lot of people are. The 2020 election has turned out to be one of the most controversial in a long time. This year has been one of tragedy, insanity, panic, dissolution, and division. It’s been quite a mess. On the other hand, […]

Nobody’s perfect. You and I don’t always make the right decisions. Our entire lives are spent learning and growing, and when we look back on our childhood, we see our errors plainly. We remember crashing our bikes and scraping our knees and elbows. In a split second… what seemed an […]
God’s purpose for our day-to-day lives doesn’t always seem crystal clear… does it? You don’t always wake up out of bed, look at your calendar, and think, “Wow, God! This is easy! I know exactly what you want me to do today!” If it were only that simple. Instead, for […]
You’ve probably heard this verse… even if you didn’t know it was actually in the Bible. Now, let’s be honest… you’re probably expecting some sort of platitude in this post. A generic, “this is what love is… let’s describe it ten thousand different ways…” I’d rather not. Instead, let’s just […]
