Tears of Love

Sometimes we’re ashamed of tears. Sometimes tears are so beautiful. One early morning I saw a man who I could tell had been crying. He looked a little sheepish about the state of his eyes. A little puffy. A little swollen. Indicating he had likely cried the tears he had told me the last time I had seen him that he would probably cry. I didn’t have the sense he was a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, and I am so thankful that I had had the opportunity to give him my Gospel tract and my latest bo...

Footballs & Prayer

I know almost nothing about footballs, but I do know a fair amount about prayer and have a long history of crying out to the Lord for one thing or another. So what do footballs have to do with prayer anyway? Why the title for this message? Please hear me out.

If I understand correctly, in the game of football, one player does a handoff of the football to another player. The player doing the handoff is to turn the football over to the other player. He is not supposed to hold onto it. He is to let...

God’s Tender Loving Mercy

One day I thanked the Lord for His tender loving mercy. Why? Most obviously because God is worthy of praise, honor, thanksgiving, and worship continually no matter our experiences, circumstances, thoughts, feelings, etc. But I had a very specific reason at the time. God had led me to repentance for a whole bunch of sin in my heart and the lack of forgiveness I had toward someone. And once again, He had forgiven me. I was so exceedingly thankful to the Lord for His love, patience, kindness, tende...

Love, Mercy & Truth

I have a soft-spoken super sweet sister in the Lord who is enormously merciful. This really stands about her. I, on the other hand, am known for being really strong in bringing forth the truth about Jesus and of the Bible. I believe God uses my friend to model to me how to be softer, sweeter, and more merciful. And I believe He uses me to model to my beautiful sister how to bring the truth about Jesus and of the Bible to people. My beloved friend and I can easily be at opposite extremes when it ...

Crime Against My Ministry – Prayer Please

(written August 6, 2021)

Dear Friend,

This morning, someone got into my ministry bank account and stole a significant amount of money. This is one of a number of recent challenges. I recently purchased a new car for my life on the road for Jesus, and that purchase involved dishonesty and deception on the part of the selling company. I also was involved in a dispute regarding a medical bill from some time ago involving deception and false promises and poor treatment on the part of that company. I...

Why Doesn’t God Love Me?

Why doesn’t God love me? Have you ever wondered this? Ever questioned God’s love for you? Ever wondered why you can’t feel His love for you? Why you don’t feel like you can see His love for you? Why it seems to you God love others but not you? For a long time I struggled with feelings and questions like these, but then the Lord set me straight with the truth about His love for His children. For His followers. For those who turn from our sins, believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and in His death and ...

Need Comfort?

Some people have hard stories. Some have really hard stories. Some people have stories so hard it’s hard to imagine how they can get through a day of their lives. I used to think I had such an incredibly hard personal story, and truthfully many would agree that I do. But I have since learned people all around the world have stories so much harder than my own story. My hardness is nothing compared with theirs. Everyone has a story, and everyone in one way or another has struggles along the way. A...

Will You Love God Anyway?

Will you love God anyway even when He doesn’t answer your prayers the way you want? Will you love God anyway even when life is tough? Will you love God anyway even when your dreams don’t come true? Will you love God anyway even when you lose someone you love or your beloved dogs you had for years? Will you love God anyway even in your battles, your trials, and your tribulations? Will you love God anyway even when you feel down and discouraged? Will you love God anyway even when your life isn’t g...
