There’s a song i used to love to listen to back in the early aughts. The song was beautiful and lyrical and I loved the words until I really listened. “Who Am I?” David asked a similar question in Psalms 8:4, “What is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man … Continue reading It’s Not “Who Am I” but “WHOSE AM I”

A Tale of His Faithfulness
The month of July of evokes an abundance of memories. This past July was the 10th anniversary of some heavy times for our family. As we move about our summer enjoying the carefree days there is always an undercurrent of recollection. This is the day there was no heartbeat. These are the days we disregarded … Continue reading A Tale of His Faithfulness
Overtaken
And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you because you obey the voice of the Lord your God. Deuteronomy 28:2 It's testimony time, so buckle up. Some of you have heard this, but most of you have not, so here we go... Let's start off by saying God is amazing. He is … Continue reading Overtaken
The Standard
Samuel had to learn the voice of his God and didn’t know it initially but we are his sheep and we know his voice — the voice of a stranger we will not follow. It was during one of those moments recently, where my mouth was shut and my ears were open, that God spoke.
It Seemed Good
If you’re staring down a decision and it seems like a good idea to you, make sure it’s also a good idea to God. (It’s also a smart thing and check in to see if He hasn’t already said which direction to go — or not.) I know what you’re thinking, “Duh, that seems pretty … Continue reading It Seemed Good

Waiting On God
One of my favorite worship bands came out with a new album the other day. I sat there listening to it, fully enjoying what I was hearing until one song came on. As I listened I heard the phrase, “We’re waiting on you Lord.” I bristled. I fumed. I hate that statement. It’s stupid. Waiting … Continue reading Waiting On God
Wimpy Worship
But thou art holy, O thou that inhabits the praises of Israel. (Psalms 22:3) Do you ever wonder if God looks down from heaven at our worship and thinks, “Huh..well isn’t that just…precious.” We stand there in our dimly lit sanctuaries and mumble some words while swaying to the beat of the music. Occasionally we … Continue reading Wimpy Worship
Be a Samuel
Let me just encourage you with this statement today: In a world filled with Sauls, be a Samuel. I’ll say it again. BE. A. SAMUEL. Samuel heard God and obeyed. Saul did what was right in his own eyes and then refused to take responsibility when he was called on it. Don’t be that guy. … Continue reading Be a Samuel
Unrecognizable
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (Romans 12:2) Have you ever seen a person bound up with depression receive the joy of the Holy Ghost? Have you ever seen … Continue reading Unrecognizable
