Psalm 31:14-15 But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord; I say, You are my God. My times are in Your hand. So, what would you do if you had an extra hour today? We are approaching that one day of a year that many look at as if it was a day off when in fact it is...
“Now I will praise the Lord!” (Genesis 29:35) Back in the ‘70s, a TV game show aired featuring two families facing off in competition for a posh prize. The program (which still runs today) quickly gained popularity, promoting family ties and teamwork as contestants fought the adversary, not their own. Blood is the tie that binds family. But when love is not...
Last week, the Saints Prison Ministry had another opportunity to travel to Florida and minister in prisons. This time, it was in the south eastern part of the state. We visited 6 different prisons and shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ to about 1,000 inmates. 56 men made a commitment to follow Jesus! It was...
Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:2-3 NKJV Do you remember what it was like to be a little...
The Lord has blessed us with ministries that the Lord is leading in our lives. As I often sit back and reflect, I see the many times where God was always in the center pouring His sovereign hand in the midst of it all. God showed me the most important ministry that He blessed me...
Over the weekend, Dana and I attended a marriage conference at Calvary Delta; I wish I could justify it with words how great of an experience it was. So many times, as I hear things, I can take a journey back in time within my mind, and sometimes those trips can be joyful, and unfortunately, sometimes...
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...
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...
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...
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...
