Cast Out Fear!
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. I John 4:8 God is love! His love is a perfect love because He is love. Everything God does is out of love. In His perfect love, there is perfect goodwill (kindness, favor, and blessing). When I repented of my sins and turned to Christ Jesus as my Savior, I...
Foundations of Wisdom
God is both all good and all wise! Solomon declares “By wisdom the Lord laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the watery depths were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew (Proverbs 3:19). He established the stars and clouds through His goodness and mercy. Earth had no form. Then God,...
Two Yokes
If you have spent time on a farm, you may know what a yoke is. Yokes were essential to farming before there were tractors. As a farmer, you would put a yoke around two cows, or oxen, which then pulled a plow. The plow then tilled the ground to prepare it for planting the seeds necessary to raise a crop....
Hearing and Practice
No man willingly wants to fail! We all want to prosper. We all have a desire to have stability, not just for ourselves but also for our family and loved ones. So, how can we avoid failure, not just for us but also those around us? How do we gain wisdom and avoid folly? By wisdom a house is built,...
Finite vs Infinite
We, as God’s creation, are finite. We live in a space with limits and boundaries. However, God is infinite; He has no boundaries and no limitations. His infinite qualities cannot be measured or calculated. As His creation, we are partakers of His divine nature, His limitless power, and goodness. As His children, we are blessed with His Heavenly provisions. He...
How God Broke Me to Build Me
Like many men who may be reading this, I have no background in formal ministry. My journey of faith started late in life after years of rejecting God and chasing after success and wealth. Growing up, my family had little, and my father was an alcoholic. For much of my childhood, I found myself longing for what others had—security, a...
The Price of Preservation
Two kings, King David and his son King Solomon, while flawed, both felt that preserving God’s Word and the temple of God was critical to the kingdom for generations to come. So much so that they wrote about God’s character and assigned a staff member to do so. While we don’t know precisely what all the staff did, we do...
He’s More Than a Creator
When Jesus came to die for our sins, He was both fully God and fully man. He was God in flesh. John 1:1-2 says “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.” Without Him being fully God in the form of man, man could...
Unfit for the Garden
Have you ever met a guy who seems to have it all together? A guy walking around quoting scripture, constantly saying things like “God is good!” Someone who makes it clear that they are on a ‘special assignment’ from God? And, because of that, nothing has gone wrong in their life, as if they’re an angel on earth living out...
