Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
I have been somewhat concerned with a trend that I see happening among God's people. There is a sense of discouragement that seems to exist around many people in the church today. The discouragement seems to come from many things seemingly not "working out" the way we often...

During our midweek service we usually have oppurtunity for people to share a testimony or a Bible Verse. This week one of our ladies shared a wonderful testimony about how thankful she was for all the important things in her life. She spoke about how her idea of what is important has changed since she had gotten older and had certain experiences in her life. It got me thinking about some of the "important things" that I'm dealing with right now. There is...

In that classic book, The Pilgrim’s Progress written by John Bunyan, we find the allegory of a man who is on his way to heaven and is having to traverse through all sorts of obstacles and hindering elements that work to impede their progress.
Such is the case when they reach what Bunyan refers to as the Hill of Difficulty. At the bottom of this hill is a spring of cool, clear water. Christian stops for a drink before his difficult climb. While he is lingering, he notices that on e...

It’s not always easy to sit here and try to write something that might help someone. Sometimes I sit here at this desk pouring out my own soul. It’s my own brokenness that ends up being put in print. I tend to be preaching to myself through all the pain and suffering that I sometimes feel. It wasn’t that long ago when I felt I could handle every situation that came before me. Those were the days when Susan and I ...

I remember as a little boy the stories my Grandpa and Grandma used to tell me about their time together before my Dad and his 2 brothers were born. They had lived most of their lives in the sandhills of Nebraska. The sandhills were a hard place to live prior to 1940. History books tell the story of the Dust Bowl Era from 1931 to 1939 also known as the Dirty Thirties.
In an attempt to flee the dust storms and drought that was happening in Nebraska my grandparents ...

A couple of weeks ago I went to McDonalds with some friends after church. After we ate we stood in the parking lot next to our vehicles talking when a guy in a black car pulled up beside us. He began to ask us how to find a certain place and we all did our best to accommodate him but the place he was looking for no longer existed. Just as he began to drive off he stopped and told us he was going to humble himself and ask us to help him. He explained that his son had been severe...

My Spiritual Warfare
Well it’s been a while since I’ve sat down to put my thoughts into this blog. Many things have happened, the passing of my dearest friend and wife Susan being one. The depression and anger that set in opened me to a great attack by the enemy. No one will probably believe the attacks I’ve had to deal with. You just never quite know the full extent of what the enemy can do to you when he gets i...

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Isaiah 26:3
I heard something a few months ago that has stuck with me and that is "Satan's target is your mind, and his weapons are lies, so fill your mind with the word of God".
I find this particular quote to be very accurate especially in our world today. It is satan's goal to feed our mi...

Earlier this month we celebrated Easter, since then I’ve been thinking alot about the disciples and how everything must have looked for them. They had followed Jesus and saw all the miracles that He had performed, listened to His words and H...
