God’s Word…part3

One particular verse from the Bible has meant a lot to me personally.  There was a year of  my life when I felt so overwhelmed.  Have you ever felt that before?  I was going to school full-time for ministry, planted a brand new church and was preaching almost every weekend, […]

God’s Word…part2

Today I want to share a passage that really spoke to me as I considered stepping out in faith to move into ministry. It was written by the Apostle Paul to his spiritual son Timothy. Since my name is Timothy…I felt like God was speaking directly to me one day […]

God’s Word…part1

I make a point to read God’s Word every day. My goal is to hear from God and feed my spirit at the same time. Over the years there have been a handful of passages that have impacted my life in profound ways. For the week, I thought I would […]

It’s the leader’s fault

As I read Exodus 32:21 I got a little scared. Moses asks Aaron, “What did these people do to you, that you LED them into such a great sin?” Now remember that this wasn’t Aaron’s idea. The people were pressuring him to make them a god to worship. He was […]

Who are you listening to?

I just finished reading through the New Testament and now I’m back around to the Old. I was reading one of my favorite OT stories ever…the creation of man/woman and the first sin! I love that story. Not because they sinned, but because it tells so much about God, us […]

He did it again

Well, my sports hero pulled it off again…in my hometown. Tiger Woods birdied the last 2 holes of the Memorial Tournament to win by one stroke. I saw it all and loved it. One thing that I admire about Tiger is his ability to do his best under pressure. He […]

Faith – Part4

Faith is such a crucial part of the life of a believer. Hebrews 11:6 says, “without faith it is impossible to please God”. Unless we live our lives through the eyes of faith we will never be able to please God. I think far to often we live by our […]

N’ Sync

I’m not a fan of N’ sync, but the title fits. This morning I was reading in Galatians for my devotion time and a verse hit me in a new way. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. (Galatians 5:25) It is amazing […]
