My Morning Thought

Are you willing to risk it all for your convictions? Are your convictions biblically based or just based on a feeling? Remember, feelings changed. Anchor your beliefs in God’s truth, which is unchanging. What are you passionate about? What do you have a conviction about that you are willing to risk it all? Call me and tell me about it. ‪(501) 291-3111‬.

What do you do when your back is against the wall. Try Jesus. He is the answer.

#MyMorningThought #Wait #WhenYouCantHearGod Sometimes you can’t hear God. Maybe you are distracted by the loudness of the world. Maybe unrepented sin is interfering. Maybe God is silent, not because He is not listening, but because the lesson is in the waiting. Do your part to position yourself to hear and just wait.  Call me and tell me how you fight your battles. ‪(501) 291-3111‬. 

Not even babies have to be taught to be selfish. Because of the sinful nature that lives inside of us, as Christ’s followers, we do have to be taught to fight with power rather than might. We must know that our fight has to be one, not intended to merely change an action but rather to break a stronghold and change a heart. How do you fight your battles? Call me and tell me how you fight your battl...

People are slaves to whatever has mastered them. What has mastered you? Is it love of money? Food? Sex? Anger? Jesus died to free you from sin. Live in freedom. Call me and tell me what you think. ‪(501) 291-3111‬.  Don’t forget to check out my latest podcast.

There are opportunities to be the hands and feet of Christ right in front of us every day, and we miss them. Many reasons that cause us to miss the opportunity, but there is a way to ensure we don’t. Live in a posture of surrender. Allowing the Holy Spirit to take the lead. He’ll direct you and prompt you when you need to be “doing.” Let’s be motivated by love and not miss the need. Call me and te...

#MyMorningThought #DoTheRightThing What does doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do mean? Well, I think we have to base it on something concrete, not our feelings that change daily. It must be based on God’s truth. What does it look like in your life? What does it look like at work? Are you doing your job while at work or doing your own thing? How do you treat the people you com...

Comparison can be a slippery slope. A slippery slope, by definition, is "an idea or course of action which will lead to something unacceptable, wrong, or disastrous." Not everything is a slippery slope, but some things can really be. Comparisons can be a slippery slope. Comparing yourself to others limits your ability to be who you were called to be because you are chasing someone else&#...

Sometimes things are so difficult, you can't imagine moving forward. I want to encourage you to humble yourself to hear from God, cry out to Him, be obedient to His Word, and be encouraged.

It's not about you. The world would say otherwise. The world would lead you to believe it is all about you. You were actually created for God's glory. In James 4, he tells us that the conflict we encounter with others begins within ourselves; it's about our own selfish desires. What do you think? How often do you make it about you? Now, I don't want that to be just a topical though...

I believe the core of my existence is to glorify God. I also believe that when I live for Christ, keeping Him at the center of my life, everything around me gets better. Now, circumstances may not change, but my attitude and perspective do. And I believe that living for God has to be motivated by love, not fear or even respect, but by love. Check out my anniversary special edition with my son, Ken...

Rahab had heard of God. She didn’t serve Him, but she heard of His might and feared Him. Now, although she didn’t serve Him, she believed in her heart He was real and lived like she believed it. Do you believe? Do you live like you believe? Do others know you believe by what they see in you or do you have to tell them? Call me and tell me what you think. ‪(501) 291-3111‬. 

Suppose someone offered you a great exchange. Let’s say, they asked if you had $1 and when you pulled out the $1, they offered to give you $5 in exchange for the $1. There are no strings attached. You give them $1, and they give you $5. You get to go on and spend your money as you choose. Would you take the deal? I am sure you would. I don’t see any reason for not taking it. Even if you had all th...

Jesus is the source of life. Remember, we were dead in our transgressions, and because Jesus paid the price, we can now live. But life comes from the source, and living is found in remaining connected to the source. Take a beautiful rose. Have you ever received a rose, perhaps in a vase, as a gift for you? It was beautiful, I am sure, but it was dead. It was dead because it had been cut or removed...

We live in this world by design. Just as Jesus came to this world so that the world might be saved, He sanctified us. I mean, as Christ’s followers, we are apart from the world. But we are to bring light into the world so that the world will come to know Christ, and they too shall live. So, we are in the world, but not of the world. We should look different from the world. We have to have ridiculo...

#MyMorningThought #GodIsInIt #LetMeSee Sometimes when we are in the midst of “our thing” we can see beyond the moment. It can be hard to see God in it with us, but He will not leave you nor forsake you. So He is in it with you. Sometimes you have to take a step back. Sometimes you have to just trust and wait to get a little farther down the line. But do your best to see Him in it with you. Call me...

God is there to protect us, even when we need protection from ourselves. Call me and tell me what you think. ‪(501) 291-3111‬

The world seeks to entice you. It tells you things should be your way. It leads you to believe it is all about you. But when we are not conformed by the world and are transformed by the renewing of our minds, we seek to align our will with His will. Call me and tell me what you think. ‪(501) 291-3111‬

Have you ever been lost? Like didn’t know where you were going, although you knew where you needed to be. How did it feel? Then what was that feeling you got when you knew you were back on track? What about when you actually reach your destination? What if every day felt that way because you knew your steps were directed by God? What if you surrendered so that He could direct your steps?

When we say “Yes,” to Jesus, we invite Him into our lives as our Lord and Savior. And as Romans 8:1 says, Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. And although we have said “yes,” we “yet” wait to fully be in his presence. Yes, we “yet” wait, and there will be hardships in the waiting, but we “yet” wait with eager anticipation that what He has promised will be. Th...

How do we get to know people? We do it by spending time with them. We get to learn their likes and dislikes. And if we are a good friend, we try not to do the things that they don't like. How do we get to know God? We do it by spending time with Him. One of those ways is in His Word. We read His word because it nourishes our bodies, it gives us life, and it directs us in how to live for Him -...
