All of us deal with anger from time to time. Right now, in society anger, rage and being incensed is at an all-time high. It some circles it is even in fashion. Something is always setting people off. It is ok to be angry at times, but it is not supposed to be our default setting. The Bible says that in our anger we are not to sin. So, anger in itself is not sinful. It becomes sinful when we allow...

One of life's hardest lessons to learn and accept is that life is unfair. We have all seen things happen to people who certainly didn't deserve what went on in their lives. I am sure that many of us have had things go on that were not fair in the least. Things people did or said, the way some things sorted themselves out can seem like the cards are not in our favor. I came across a quote t...

As Christians we are all familiar with the words Salvation and Saved. What does it mean to truly be saved? The Greek word for Saved is Sozo. It carries the same idea as the Hebrew word for Peace or Shalom. Saved means to deliver and to rescue but it also carries the idea of being healed and made whole and complete. God forgives sin but He also heals our brokenness and restores what has been shatte...

Serving God is an honorable and exciting life. Let's set the record straight, it is not an easy life. If you don't believe me just look at the life of Paul, Moses or for that matter, Jesus. There is a saying - "Give God your YES". Of course, obedience to God is at the heart of all that we believe. Many say yes to God with little understanding of the cost. Many approach their &quo...

Vanity, in one way or another our society is driven by this. Social media posts, clicks, likes, follows, hearts. If we are not careful, we can all become vain. I would submit that this is a huge struggle for many of us. You would think that once you leave middle school our need for attention and affirmation from others would fade. In many ways this increases. In a world that demands us to be &quot...

There is a saying that says - "A stronghold is not a demon sitting on your shoulder; it is a lie sitting in your logic." Strongholds were originally built as a place of safety. They were a strongly built fortress or a castle where people would be free from the dangers of an advancing enemy. A stronghold was a position of strength, an impenetrable place where people could recover and defe...

We know that Rain is often a symbol of the work of the Holy Spirit. We equate the Rain of the Holy Spirit with Revival. We call it the outpouring of God. The prophet Joel prophesied that God would pour out His Spirit on all people and he showed us what it would look like. I believe we will see an incredible outpouring of the in our days. I believe that it has already begun. The Lord gave me a prop...

Worry is a five-letter word that impacts all of our lives. All of us deal with worry on some level or another. Some of us deal with it in one area of our live and some of us have made worry a way of life. People love to make slogans that create a great sound bite, but I think do more harm than good. "Be a winner not a worrier, why worry when you can worship, be a warrior not a worrier"....

Believe is a powerful word and tied to everything that we do, say and live. This podcast will get you thinking. This will challenge and encourage you!

One of the greatest discoveries that a Christian can have is that we are sheep. That's what Jesus calls us. We are the sheep of HIS pasture. Not cattle. Not horses not oxen or donkeys. What sets sheep apart from all of those other animals? They were designed to carry heavy loads. Sheep were not designed that way. Those are all burden bearing beasts. They can shoulder the extra weight. No one u...

We have all met people that are crusty because they have a mean and sarcastic attitude. Then there are people that are crusty because they have been reduced to acting on their baser impulses and urges instead of rising above them. There are things in life that absolutely no one is immune from. Sexual temptation is one of them. There are people that are more prone to sexual temptation than others d...

We all know the scripture that says - "Nothing is impossible with God". Do you and I really believe that? We serve a God of the impossible the improbable and the supernatural. He is Almighty God! As a matter of fact, that is one of His names. God Almighty. This means that for US - With God - nothing will be impossible as well. Yet, we often live our life as if we are limited in our optio...

One of the most powerful truths of Christianity is this - There is no Resurrection without the Crucifixion. As we celebrate all that Jesus did by rising from the grave, we must also take a look at the reasons that made His dying necessary. We love the shout of Sunday, but we must also deal with the horrible realties of Friday. Good Friday is only Good because of Jesus obedience to the Father. What...

All of us either have family or have watched families that seem to struggle from generation to generation with certain things. It could be sickness, an addiction, fear, anxiety or just a history of poor decisions. At some point through the power of God, we can say in our generation, NO Further!

There is nothing like the innocence of a child. There is a purity, a wonder and a joy that most adults left behind years ago. It is vital that we understand that God calls us, invites us back into a life of innocence. I remember a phrase I heard long ago. "Innocence Lost." We live in a society that truly has not only lost their innocence but have lost their way. Today's podcast is a...

Have you ever felt like a fraud? Like you don't belong? Have you ever wrestled with God about who you are? Have you ever felt like you were not enough? I think all of us have been there at one point or another. It is actually a fundamental battle that all people must come to grips with. Today fraud, specifically identity fraud is rampant. People impersonating others. Pretending to be something...

Dangerous times require dangerous men. Men who are dangerous to Satan and dangerous to those who do evil. Men who are dangerous spiritually and naturally. Men who understand that the kingdom of God suffers violence and that violent, forceful men take it by force. Men who are prayer warriors and men who will go to war for their families. Men who are capable of defending their families spiritually a...

Never despise the day of small beginnings. I absolutely love that verse. Everything that grows starts small in comparison to what it becomes. When I was growing up, I was actually pretty small. I was born early and placed in an incubator for weeks. Many people underestimated me because of my size and because of that I was picked on. In high school that came to an end when I learned an expression -...

When you hear the word salty what comes to mind? Many think of a grizzled old sailor with an attitude and a mouth that needs sanctified. The truth is I love salty people. I love people with some vim and vigor. What if I told you that God desires for all of us to be salty? Jesus said that we are to be Salt and Light. I love this. We get to bring flavor to people's lives. We get to be a preserva...

Sometimes in life things do not go as planned. It is guaranteed that at some point or another, things will come to an end, the best laid plans will fail, people let us down. relationships will drift and heartbreak will happen. It is important how we handle those times. We all know people that we love and respect who have had unspeakable and unexplainable things happen. This podcast looks at these...

The older I get the more I appreciate the idea of finishing well and finishing strong. We give a great deal of emphasis on how to start things, and that is important. Yet, what we are seeing is many people who are having a difficult time completing this race of life well. Both the start and the finish matter. I would say however that finishing well is more important than starting well. No one star...

I like to keep things Simple. I believe in the simple life. We all like our technology but it seems that the more sophisticated things have gotten the more complicated things have become. Even the things meant to keep life simple and make it easier. I have found that even in Christian and in church circles we have complicated things that Jesus meant to be simple. Have you ever noticed how even the...

All of us have issues. The truth is I have yet to meet an issue-less person. The Book of Proverbs tells us that we are to guard our heart with all diligence for out of it flow all the issues of life. This means that everything in our life is a heart issue or an issue of the heart. I think of the desperate lady who reached out to Jesus and grabbed hold of the hem of His garment. She had an issue of...

As Christians we should be setting the bar high in the way we speak, care and have compassion for people. The world has lost their collective mind. People are just not kind, patient and understanding with one another. Unfortunately, many Christians are being pulled into the vortex that seems to be causing people to no longer know how to be civil with one another. I would contend in the strongest t...

There are some people that the world can just not stamp down. People hit by the trials of life the heights of achievement and the people who forget their impact. Leonard Ravenhill was one of those people. This is a little different type of podcast. I want to read something powerful that I ran across and then discuss it. I hope that this podcast is meaningful, impactful and inspiring.
