Happy Dependence Day!

Happy Dependence Day!

No, I didn’t mean Independence Day.  Although, I hope you and your family had a wonderful 4th of July holiday weekend!  I meant happy Dependence Day!  You see, I’ve been depending on Jesus for 20 years.  There have been some hard days, but these have also been the richest days of my life.  I’m not

The Storm’s Edge

Driving to work one day this past week I saw a rain storm in the distance.  I was at the edge a storm.  Calm and stormy side by side.  To see the edge of a storm from a distance is a beautiful sight.  To be in a storm is a whole different story. Are you

What are you willing to leave behind?

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?  Jesus, Mark 8:36 Oh, how we love to cling to our stuff!  Little stuff, big stuff, and everything in between.  Like most people, I’m sure you have that one thing that you just cannot do without.  That

Love always

I preached Sunday, June 12th. With the time and effort I pour into my messages when I preach, it’s hard to do a blog. Check out my message from yesterday on the Pursuit Friends FaceBook page. Love always – love covers a multitude of sins. Until we meet again – love like Jesus!

Fear No Evil

Are you afraid?  Lately, I have found myself being afraid. I’m afraid of the evil that is in the world.  I’m afraid that some knucklehead is going to attack my home or family, and I fear my response will not be what the LORD would wish – and that is deadly force.  I pray often

When the Trumpet Call of God Sounds

Where were you when JFK was assassinated, when Armstrong set foot on the moon, or when the planes struck the twin towers?  We love to mark historic events with where we were in that particular moment of time.  Where will you be when the trumpet call of God sounds? Ever since I was a young

When believers don’t agree

We live in a day and age where everyone has a platform to share their opinion. News and information hit us at a rapid rate 24 hours a day 7 days a week non-stop.  There is really no break from the information avalanche that bombards us from all angles and at all times of the

Is your name written in the Book of Life?

Have you ever read a familiar passage of Scripture only to have a certain part of that passage reach up and slap you right across the face?  It just happened to me this week.  I was reading in Mark chapter 15 about Jesus’ crucifixion, the part where Simon the Cyrenian was helping Jesus carry His cross.  Do

Who Do You Reflect?

Who do you reflect? I see the moon, and the moon sees me; God bless the moon, and God bless me.My parents would regularly say this little saying to me when we were out on walks at night when I was a young boy. This is probably the main reason why I’ve always been fascinated
