Several times in the past few months, I would be journaling or studying God’s word and think to myself that maybe I should write a blog or even possibly a devotional book. I knew this was a nudge from God so I went on the internet and began reading articles on how to write a […]
RICH STRIKE WHO?
Before Saturday, May 7, 2022, very few people would have recognized the name Rich Strike. Today, the horse, Rich Strike has become a household name with his come-from-behind victory in the 2022 Kentucky Derby. Just last year, Rich Strike’s owner purchased him for $30,000. Far less than the hundreds of thousands of dollars paid […]
Redeemed
I’m sitting here thinking about redemption. Jeremiah 29:11 has for many years been my favorite verse. I very rarely read the next three with it. Starting at verse 12, Then you will call on Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.13, You will seek Me and find Me when […]
Reflect on You
I have the privilege to be part of a late night show on Twitch called Pastors After Dark, on this show we take anonymously submitted questions about anything and everything, then we give a biblical answer to them live. During our off season, we’ve decided that we all need to be healthier, so we’re doing […]
It Really is That Simple
Have you ever confidently walked up to a store’s door and pushed the handle only to find it didn’t budge? Have you then proceeded to look down and realized the door says “pull”? That’s so embarrassing, right? You would think that after thousands of years of human adaptation we would be smart enough […]

How to know your Eternity is secure.
Throughout my life I can honestly say I can’t remember a time that I didn’t believe in God. As a child, my family, sporadically, attended different churches with different denominations. I went to loads of Vacation Bible School programs during the summer and even was a part of the youth group here, at Grace, during […]
Where Does My Help Come From
It is sometimes odd to me that I am surprised by the fact that God moves. He answers prayers, He guides us along our paths, He comforts, He disciplines, He affirms, and He protects. I could go on, but you get the idea. These are things that shouldn’t surprise me. I know these attributes of […]
Handling War?
The last several years have been unusual, to say the least. Between COVID, lockdowns, endless political divisions, contested elections, and everything else it’s been a crazy couple of years. Now, war? How should a Christian respond in such uncertain times? When the entire world is going crazy, when darkness seems to be prevailing, when we […]
