Why did Jesus come to earth? What was his purpose? Where did he come from? What was his bloodline? Merry Christmas!

What do we know about Mary, Jesus' mother? Is she to be worshipped? What is special about her, aside from the fact that she is the mother of Jesus? If you haven't listened to Part 1 of this message, I suggest you listen to that one first. How God uses Mary is fascinating. And maybe even more fascinating is how Mary responds to God.

How does God say we should view Mary? You might be surprised. What a woman...

There can be a fine line with taking care of ourselves and becoming selfish. We have to take care of ourselves so we can be ready for God's call and to be able to help others. But too much attention to ourselves can bring about more problems turning us inward instead of outward.

The title above says it all. Are you smart or not so smart? Ha! The Bible tells us to be prudent. That means to think ahead. Look at the future and plan for it. The Bible challenges us not to be simple. The best way to put that is: don't be empty-minded in how you live. We need to think ahead. We do not need to worry about the future, but we should plan for it.

Hey! I am a Chaplain to motorcycle road racing with MotoAmerica and WERA. So, I often lead chapel services in odd, noisy places. But it is still the Word of God, and His Word is life-changing. I hope your life is changed and encouraged by the messages here on this podcast site. We often find ourselves falling into misery over rotten circumstances and sometimes bad life choices. God is not unaware...

This was something new. I did not look at the passage until I shared this with the people in our Facebook Live Chapel service. We walked through the verses with me asking questions. I didn't even have a title for the message at the time. Although I couldn't hear the responses, I asked many questions as we looked at each verse in Ps 141:4-10. It was a devotional-level study, not a deep dive. I had...

There are two very difficult things to do on this earth: stop talking and listening. In Ps 141 pray that God would put a guard over his mouth. We have that guard! It is the Holy Spirit. But when we grieve or quench the Holy Spirit with the sin in our life, then that guard slips away and our speech becomes dishonoring to God.

Two things that are very difficult to do in our lives: waiting and listening. Today we will talk about waiting on God. If we will wait long enough and trust Him we will "SEE" what He can mightily do. He will answer if we will wait. WAIT!

We often worry about things we have no resources to help with. We forget that we have an infinite and sovereign God who finds multiple ways to use people or circumstances to fulfill our difficult issues. If He can get water and honey from a rock, he can do anything. Don't be afraid because our God has answers and provision.

Sin brings us low. It's something not to be messed with. The joy of sin is that it doesn't have to control us, and it can be forgiven by our Savior, Jesus Christ. IF you feel like you are in a spot that is a spot you cannot get out of. Think again. Psalm 51 has amazing answers for you.

It takes a lot of focus to compete and win first place! It can be an event with a few people or thousands, but there is only one person who gets first place. It is a lot of effort to be the winner. There is no question that this is also true with God. It takes a lot of work not to win but to keep HIM in first place in your life. When he is in first place, you will always win. When HE is NOT...then...

From outside in the Paddock at New Jersey Motorsports Park Where do you go for help? Do you seek something smaller or bigger than yourself? Do you seek that which only lets you down or something that truly helps for the long haul? Is your help dependable? Choosing the right kind of help is everything.

The chapter that I'm struggling with at the beginning (LIKE AN IDIOT!) is Psalm 21:1-6. Sorry about that! What fulfills you? Do you think it will last? Does it complete you? I think you will find. that the only person who can fulfill you is Jesus. Take a listen.

A lot happened this week. A lady slaughtered in Charlotte on a train, Charlie Kirk is murdered. Children are shot at their school. What is going on in our world? What is going on with Christians in our world? How are we supposed to respond to all this mess and heartbreaking loss. How will we deal with people who oppose God and live for themselves and are steeped in sin? What in the world do we do?

This is a new series: "Musing With God" - These are just thoughts that come out of my quiet time with God and time spent meditating on His Word and allowing Him to speak to me. These are the same thoughts you can have as you spend quality time with God alone. Does God do everything for us or do we have responsibilities. Paul tells us in Phil 4 that what we have seen in him...DO! We see King David...

Studying the Bible 101 - Has someone told you that you need to study the Bible more, but you don't know how? I have told people this and have given no direction, and they end up frustrated because they don't really know what to do other than just read the passage. This should help you a little if you are trying to get started on studying God's Word. It's a beginner's class, but I believe it will b...

Feeling lost and out of control? Are you alone with nowhere to go? Has your life fallen and you cannot get up? There is an answer. Jesus! He can be your salvation. He can "rescue" you from whatever you are going through. 

Last week we talked about how the Holy Spirit has been present and working throughout history since creation. Now we speak today of how he works in you and I and does powerful things in and through us in ways we cannot put into words.

How important is the Holy Spirit to you? What do you know about Him? He is important to you, whether you are an unbeliever or a believer. He is the one knocking on the door of the unbeliever, trying to get them to come to Jesus. He is the one who convicts you, challenges you, guides you, teaches you, and shows Christ in your life, if you are a believer. Have a listen...

Happy Anniversary to me and my wife! Prayer is a means of accessing God's presence and protection. Are you praying? Are you praying continually? You should be, and so should I. It is life-changing!

The time is probably very short for God's return. Are you ready? Do you know Him? Are you serving Him? Are you wasting time? Are you being lazy? Are you being spiritually lazy. We have not time for laziness in any way. We have to get up and get the work done because Jesus is coming soon!

There is a sense of urgency to get the Gospel to the nations from Paul. If it was a sense of urgency 2000 years ago it is very urgent now!

When problems arise and circumstances rise that make us want to run away we need to stand firm. When sin wants to take us down we need to stand firm. When we are tempted to doubt we need to stand firm. If we can't stand strong, we can't stand firm.

The Great Commission really came alive for me as I studied Matt 28:16-20. Many of us are lazy. Myself included. Every believer and the church has the responsibility to spread the gospel to all the nations; to the world. We have to get up and GO!
