What is my purpose in life? What is Gods calling for me? What am I here to do? This is something I have struggled with for years. Well, I want to share with you a book that I recently found that has helped me to start to figure all this out in my own life. [...]
There is a man named Nick Vujicic. You have probably seen or heard about him in the news. Maybe you have seen in his book on the shelf at Walmart. He was born without arms or legs. Can you imagine? Life is hard enough isn’t it? How could a loving God allow such a thing [...]
When my son was a toddler he once tried to stick a fork into a light socket. I smacked his hand and said “No” in a voice that to him was one of the scariest things he had ever known. Knowing the danger of what he was about to do I wanted to make certain [...]
I believe the Bible is Word of God, I believe it is the Word of God as if he were speaking it to me now. I believe it is without error and that God has protected and preserved throughout history and until now. The Bible contains everything we need to know about God, salvation, living [...]
I often hear people say, “If only I knew God’s will for me” or “I just don’t know what God wants me to do.” Here’s the thing. God’s will for you is already clearly revealed in Scripture. In fact we are told not to be foolish but to know the will of the Lord. “Therefore [...]

I do not like emotional appeals to follow Christ or worship services that are overly emotional in nature. I believe that emotions lie in that context. A person comes to salvation when God produces faith and scripture teaches that “faith comes from hearing the Word of God” (Romans 10:17). What is needed for people to [...]
“The enjoyment of [God] is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied. To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here. Fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, or children, or the company of earthly friends, are but shadows; but God is the substance. These are [...]
Jesus never presented the Gospel like most evangelical Christians do. He demanded complete submissive obedience and total surrender to Him. In fact, when people expressed interest in becoming a Christian he discouraged them from following Him if they were not willing to give up everything else and obey His Words. All of this “accept Jesus [...]
We must always remember that our God is Sovereign. Jesus could not have taught us about the sovereignty of God with anymore clarity than he did in Luke 12:6-8 when He said, “ Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of [...]
