Stepping out in faith…
Sometimes bad people do good things and sometimes good people do bad things. The end doesn’t always justify the means. As Christians, we should always be intent on glorifying God in all that we do. But, what we do can’t keep God’s will from happening. God will make a way if it’s his will. The …
This is my take on the sermon for 10/2/22. That may seem like a strange title for a blog post about Genesis 26, but that’s what caught my attention right away. Callouses can make things easier, but it takes time and hard work to build them. Our pastor talked about building callouses as a drummer …
As I began reading my daily devotionals, I read this quote… To trust God in the light is nothing. But to trust Him in the dark, that is faith.— Charles Spurgeon I can remember my dad saying it’ll work out. Even though money was tight or it didn’t seem to make sense to feel that …

It’s so easy to get caught up on our own problems and think, “poor me, life is so difficult!” But what if instead of focusing on ourselves we look at the world around us for where God is needed. “Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone …
I think it's easy to get comfortable in our relationship with God. We get up on Sunday morning and go to church, sing a few songs, listen to a sermon and feel like we've given God a portion of our time. Wow, that's so sad, but I've been there, I understand. But, I want to …
Have you ever noticed how Satan questions you about your past? He often reminds you of the mistakes you've made and that you don't deserve the peace and joy that God has to offer. God will take you as you are. When we can't release the guilt of our past, it keeps us from loving …
