WHEN FACING IMPOSSIBLE TASKS | Zechariah 4:6

I have in mind, any of you who feel like you're facing an impossible task. You know that God has called you to something. But you're feeling that maybe you don't have the strength, the ability, the smarts to get it done. Well, I know pastors who are feeling they're facing an impossible task...

THE VINE AND ITS BRANCHES | John 15

I woke this morning with the most wonderful thought. I woke with the thought that I have a heavenly Father who loves me and who cares for me in every detail of my life. And that was a real God-send for me this morning, because while the last week has a ban especially difficult, I woke this morning thinking about Jesus’ words in John 15:1...

PRACTICING THE PRESENCE OF GOD | Psalm 16:8

Is there a time in your life when God's presence has been especially real to you? A time when you could just feel God right there with you? That's a precious time when God's presence is more than just an assumption in our heads, but an awareness in our heart. There came a time in my walk with God, when I longed to know I had to know God with me, in the way I'd been taught to sing as a boy about how God walks with me and he talks with me and he tells me I am his own.

WHEN SOMEONE HAS DONE YOU WRONG | Genesis 50:19

Now, I'm thinking that you have probably had some people do you wrong, that there have been some people who have taken advantage of you, misused you, told lies about you. Am I right?

WHEN LIFE GETS YOU DOWN | Psalm 40

Well, I am back in the book of Psalms today, needing to be in the book of Psalms today. As I started out the day feeling confused, upset by the news, by what's going on in the world, and I will always be grateful to my mom for first teaching me about the Psalms when I was a boy. When my mom told me that I could find a Psalm for every feeling I had. She said that there's a psalm for just about every life situation, and you know...my mom was right...

PREPARED TO DO GOD’S WORK | Ephesians 2:10

My son's family has a wonderful dog that's an Australian Shepherd. Now, I don't know if you've ever had any experience with an Australian Shepherd, but just let me tell you this, it needs a job to do. It needs to work. It's active. And you know that's not just something that we would say of Australian Shepherds, it's true of we humans too, that we need a job, we need to be doing something that counts. That makes a difference.

BOLD BEFORE GOD | Ephesians 4:12

How are you picturing God today? I mean in your mind's eye, are you seeing God as smiling at you? Is God, is he frowning? That is does God look disappointed in you? Does God look like he's ticked off? Well, the reason why I'm asking is because how you and I picture God is just about the most important thing about us. Because how we picture God affects how we look at life, how we look at ourselves, how we look at others.

PEACE OF MIND | Isaiah 26:3

How much would you pay for peace of mind? You have an idea of what you would pay for food, for housing, for health care, what you would pay for gasoline to fill up your car? But how much would you pay for peace of mind?

PURPOSE IN OUR TROUBLES | 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Do you ever wonder what God is up to? Do you wonder what God is thinking? What does God have in mind with our troubles and trials? As a pastor and chaplain, I've seen quite a bit of pain and suffering up close, and I could guess that I could say that I've had, well, my share of pain and suffering too. And there was a passage of scripture that I have underlined in my Bible, a big star beside it, a passage that helps me a lot to get a glimpse of what God is up to in our affliction and pain...
