This week I had a conversation with someone about people who talk poorly of others behind their backs. It’s sad that this happens more often than we want to admit. The truth is that gossip has become a seemingly normal part of our daily interactions. We find it in our workplaces, schools, and even ourContinue reading “The Words We Speak”

In a world where the lines between truth and falsehood often blur, God calls us to be people of integrity. Proverbs 10:9 tells us: “Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.” Integrity is not just about honesty, it’s about living in a way that’s consistentContinue reading “Living Out Truth”

In Hebrews 3:13, it tells us: “But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called ‘Today,’ so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.” This verse highlights the vital role encouragement plays in our spiritual lives. The truth is, we can never underestimate the power of a kind word or compliment. SuchContinue reading “The Power of Encouragement”

This week I read Psalm 40:1, which says: “I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry.” This verse speaks volumes about the difficult discipline of patience. In our fast-paced world, waiting can feel like a burden, yet it is in these moments that God shapes and molds us, building our characterContinue reading “Waiting on the Lord”

Each of our lives is a journey filled with peaks and valleys, joys and sorrows. The truth is, we never know what each new day will bring. But in the midst of our ever-changing experiences, there is one constant we can always rely on: God’s faithfulness.  Scripture reassures us of this amazing truth. In DeuteronomyContinue reading “God’s Faithfulness”

In 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 it tells us: “All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.” God’s desire for reconciliationContinue reading “The Heart of Reconciliation”

This next week is the 4th of July, a time where we celebrate the wonderful freedoms that we have in this country: freedoms that many people in our world don’t have. And as we celebrate these freedoms, may we also remember the freedom we have in Christ.  When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we areContinue reading “True Freedom”

This weekend, we won’t be having our normal Sunday morning service at our church. Instead, we’ll be partnering with several other churches in our community to do our ONE service at the high school. I love that the pastors and churches in our community see the value of coming together in unity. As followers ofContinue reading “Unity in Christ”

This week, I started a deep dive into the book of Romans and every verse is full of powerful insight. One that stuck out to me is Romans 1:21 where Paul says: “For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and theirContinue reading “Glorifying and Giving Thanks”

This past week in church, my message focused on how we use our time. The truth is our fast-paced, over-worked world is constantly vying for more of our time. This topic led me to Hebrews 12:1 where the author tells us: “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throwContinue reading “Run YOUR Race”
