1 Corinthians 11:17-19 [17] But in the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse. [18] For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you. And I believe it in...

Into or From: Falling Gracefully
I love Autumn…it is NOT my favorite season (which is reserved for SPRING) but still I love Autumn. Now most of us refer to it as FALL…which I suppose is due to the leaves dropping from the trees and far more easy to spell. So often when I think of fall, I think of how we are...
Perfect Timing
Recently, the Lord has blessed me with an absolutely amazing wife. As many of my friends and family (and Pastor Gary!) have joked that it’s about time I got married, I can’t help but be thankful that it happened when it did because it was all in God’s perfect timing. All those years of emotional...
Breaking Untouchable Barriers with Unstoppable Love
Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” (Mark 1:41) Some things you just don’t forget, like the attack on our country in 2001. After all these years, people still ask, “Where were you on 9/11?” I was home with my 4-year-old...

Have you ever felt uncomfortable living in this world? When your spirit starts stirring because you know something just is not resonating well inside you.

Obedience
One of the things the Lord has been teaching me recently is the importance of obedience to Him. When we are obedient to God, when we are submitted to God, when God is in His rightful place as the One ruling on the throne in our hearts, we live lives that are content. Think about ...
Submit onto the Lord
What an amazing week it has been in our lives, the Lord has continued to show His presence. Just a week ago, He gave us provision over our newest addition Mila Andrea and what a moment it was to just look into her eyes and pray over her as I praised the Lord for bringing...
Superman on Vacation
I just got back from vacation. During vacation I was on a ski-lift ride up a mountain and on my way up I stuck my hands out and flew like Superman…as best as I could. So I had a weird thought…but every now and then when I feel the pressures to get things done or...
6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon or 0 Degrees to God?
There is a popular thing that has been around for quite a few years, it’s called 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon. The goal is to connect someone or even yourself to the actor Kevin Bacon with at most 6 different people. That might mean you have a friend (1) who’s mom (2) went to school...
