Just a Guy and his Journey Back to God

Send us Fan Mail Perspective is critical in life. Without the proper perspective, we don't know how great or awful, big or small or sad or happy something is. It's perspective we need to bring to our walk with God also.  When we think of forgiveness, we need to remember that God's forgiveness of our sins is for the totality of our sins!!! He's wiped our slate clean with the blo...

Send us Fan Mail Persistence is required in so many parts of the successful life: relationships, business, sports and our walk with God. There are times we don't feel like forgiving others or like we've been forgiven, but we must and are! At times, we may not feel hopeful at all! However, that doesn't mean God isn't planning something amazing for you! Just because we don't...

Send us Fan Mail David opens his heart to God and bares his soul while asking for forgiveness. He's a man after God's own heart and is a great example for us.

Hope God is in charge and hope He loves us.  Today, we...

Send us Fan Mail Happy Easter! He is risen! After His resurrection and visiting His disciples and followers, Jesus ascends into heaven and the Holy Spirit is given to all!

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever wondered why God is being soooo silent and it seems He's not moving despite your many prayers and needs?

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever felt like God can't use you because you're not smart or good or faithful enough?

His disciples and followers were just like you and me,...

Send us Fan Mail As we go through this holy week, we read in Matthew 27 how Jesus, an innocent man as testified to by His original accuser Judas, accepted death by crucifixion so WE could live for eternity! Jesus could have refuted each charge against Him, but He remained silent. He could have brought down legions of angels to rescue Him, but he submitted to torture and humiliation for each of us!...

Send us Fan Mail The day Jesus is arrested, He still focuses on us! In Matthew 26, we see Him fellowship with his followers and disciples at dinner, give us a way to remember His sacrifice and our salvation (Communion) and pray not to have to go through the upcoming ordeal, yet He submits to Father's will, not His own. Join me as we read about Jesus and be encouraged!   Just a Guy and His Wor...

Send us Fan Mail Today is Palm Sunday. We add a few verses to our reading so we can experience Jesus's entrance into Jerusalem.  In John 14, there's so much to learn: 1. We hear from the Lord how He is the way to the Father and how the Father is in Him 2. He goes to prepare a home for us in heaven 3. If we love Him, we'll obey His commands 4. He loves the Father and is obedient even...

Send us Fan Mail Jesus came to disrupt the existing social/religious structure. He was the true disruptor! Powerful people wanted to speak with Him and learn from Him, but they had to approach Him in the dark so they wouldn't be seen and have their current status threatened. What did Jesus do? He met them where they were at. Jesus will meet you and me wherever we are at! We don't need to...

Send us Fan Mail Do you know that you cause the angles in heaven to sing and rejoice? Or, that when you're lost, Jesus will carry you on His shoulders to bring you Home?

Send us Fan Mail As we get ready for Easter, we are reading about The Sermon on the Mount!

I know I do, but today's reading showed me that I'm just like the disciples, a person with major flaws.  Join me today and let's be encouraged...

Send us Fan Mail It's a busy Mark 1 we're reading. We see Jesus is baptized, heals the sick, drives out demons and preaches to the crowds while gathering His disciples. It's just the beginning of our reading in preparation for Easter.   Just a Guy and His World  

Send us Fan Mail Viewing struggles as a negative is typical, but don't most challenges cause us to change and often reevaluate our life and relationships? Shouldn't we then embrace them and consider them an opportunity instead? This week, we'll focus on seeing our setbacks and challenges as opportunities to get closer to God.   Just a Guy and His World  

Send us Fan Mail Today, we read about Jesus's birth and how he was left in Jerusalem by His parents. In addition, Jesus was confirmed to be the Messiah by those filled with the Holy Spirit at the temple when he was just an infant.  Today's reading is most often read during the Christmas season. However, you can't have His resurrection without His birth first!     Just a Guy and His...

Send us Fan Mail Isaiah, the Evangelical prophet, ends with three topics: 1. God looks at the heart of people 2. In the end times, the church will increase and will be gathered to the Redeemer 3. In the end times, the final ruin of the ungodly will be seen   Just a Guy and His World  

Send us Fan Mail During the end days, the people will be judged for their actions and unwillingness to recognize God, despite His efforts to bless them. Because they harden their hearts, they face a harsh judgment, but those that turn to God, have salvation and blessings.   Just a Guy and His World
