Whose Favor Do We Seek?

A friend of mine has been going through a court case recently and certain motions were filed that he does not want to be approved. I was talking to him and as we talked, he was explaining how the judge would approve of this because of this reason, or he thought that this fact didContinue reading “Whose Favor Do We Seek?”

Sentiment

There are few things that are irreplaceable, but the things that matter most to me are the simple gifts that were given to me by the people I love most. My wife loves to give me little notes, and my eldest daughter gives me simple things like wildflowers she picked up on a walk. MyContinue reading “Sentiment”

After perfection

If you have ever watched a child do a job that was just a little bit out of their ability, then you might understand the frustration of perfectionists watching someone do a job improperly. I admit, I am not – by any stretch of the imagination – a perfectionist. However, I can sympathize a littleContinue reading “After perfection”

Sacrifices Is An Exchange

I do not really look at the things that I “sacrifice” as giving up something, I look at it as exchanging it for something better; a trade up rather than a trade off due to one being of more value instead of equal. I go to work to provide for my family, I sacrifice someContinue reading “Sacrifices Is An Exchange”

Directions for life

Have you ever woke up later than you wanted to, having to push things that really need to get done to the back burner so that you could rush out the door to get to that thing that cannot wait? Maybe this happens often in your life in different areas – I know it isContinue reading “Directions for life”

Becoming Good Ground

Springtime has quickly replaced fall as my favorite season, because I love to see the new life that arrives with spring. The cows calve, the goats kid, the chickens start to increase their egg production. Milk comes in freely, my wife and girls starts playing in the dirt doing ‘garden prep’, and the early vegetableContinue reading “Becoming Good Ground”

The Greatest Love Story Pt. 2

We are going to back up a bit, just before the world was created. You see, in heaven there was God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. (along with Wisdom the angels and a few other characters we see throughout Scripture.) God the trinity does not have any beginning, nor endContinue reading “The Greatest Love Story Pt. 2”

The Greatest Love Story Pt. 1

I would like to share with you a wonderful love story – one written by your Creator and sent to you. This beautiful story starts with a master builder who looks on a blank canvas and brings light to the darkest of situations. In the next four days of this marvelous event, He then bringsContinue reading “The Greatest Love Story Pt. 1”

Used By God

There is no true Christian that does not, in at least some way, want to be used by God. There was a time in history that God had a special relationship with the nation of Israel via judges. These were men – and a woman – who were used by God to help lead –Continue reading “Used By God”

Faith Untested

I recently heard a phrase that took me back. A pastor I met recently told me, “faith untested can’t be trusted.” This caused me to think about certain things in my life, and how God wants us to trust Him and how He will give us tests and trials to increase our trust in Him.Continue reading “Faith Untested”
