When I see a rainbow I think of God's promise in Genesis 9:13 "I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth." I was driving home from work today and in front of me was a gray sky. Upon second look, the... Continue Reading →
If your gonna walk on water, watch out for speedboats
A few weeks ago in the our Wednesday night discipleship roundtable we were discussing what we had learned through the series that we just completed in church by John Bevere. Brother John made a comment that he learned "We (Christians) need to get out of the boat and start walking on the water. That we... Continue Reading →
Hunger and Thirst
Matthew 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. I have been trying to lose weight recently. One thing I am working on is trying to recognize true hunger. So many times people confuse thirst for hunger, therefore overeating trying to meet a need that is not there.... Continue Reading →
Missed Doors
As I drove home from Olathe the other day, I crossed the Kansas line into Missouri and started seeing the signs that pointed to familiar locations for me.

Control Top
I have started reading Forgotten God by Frances Chan. As I read it, I was convicted by my need for control. He pointed out that when we feel the need to be in control, we quench the Holy Spirit. As I was driving home, this was on my mind. I do not want to quench... Continue Reading →
Walking in Faith
I was thinking about my recent ahh haa moment. I was thinking about the comments by Frances Chan of how sometimes Christians are afraid to step out in faith and stand on an extreme prayer request that is asked in line with the will of God. We are afraid of the rejection or that if something doesn't... Continue Reading →
Spiritually blind
I was reading John 9 last night John 9:41 states "If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains." As I took a closer look at the chapter, I noticed a familiar presence in the responses of those involved. There is a... Continue Reading →
