We can read the Bible, we can listen to the word, but we also need to change. We need to change how we think, how we speak and how we eat and drink. We need to get rest, and we need to exercise. We need balance, to do our part,…
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing (Isaiah 10:27). Jesus came to destroy yokes. DESTROY them. He’s not taking them…
We watch commercials daily that show us the POWER of a Name. We use the name Kleenex to reference any box of tissues, even if it’s not the Kleenex brand. We mentally associate certain names with cars, jeans, shoes and electronics that we consider to be trusted reputable names. Jesus’…
It can be so easy to listen to that voice inside that tries to tell us that everyone else is reaching their dreams while ours seem out of reach. Don’t believe the media that reports someone as an overnight success. That is untrue. If you ask the person they are…
I was fishing with a friend on a river that was so lush with greenery; it wasn’t apparent that we were drifting downstream. We drifted around ten miles in forty-five minutes. We headed upstream, and a friend of ours was coming downstream in a hurry. He said, “Where were you?…
I love getting up on stage and blending a superb mixture of berries into a tasty concoction of delicious enjoyment. Then I add a cup of mud. Would you drink it? I wouldn’t either. The point of that demonstration is to show how our negative thoughts pollute our mind. Even…

The sin within us keeps sabotaging our best intentions. If we focus on our sin instead of His righteousness, then we continue to do more sin. So we’re practicing sin. If we get in church regularly and hear the word, read the word and speak the word, then we are…
Newsmax did a study last Fall and in their research, they discovered that I’m not qualified to pastor our church. I’m homeschooled and I didn’t go to seminary. When a reporter asked if I would hire someone with my background and education to pastor a church this big I answered,…
