I believe one of the greatest hinderances preventing people from getting to God is religion. Oh, the irony. The one place you ought to be able to go to learn about God, insists on adding in lots of unpleasant elements. Yes, there is plenty of talk concerning who God is as you might expect, but…
Okay let’s get a little personal tonight. Do you remember the last time you felt really good? Not just happy in a moment, but having an overall a sense of contentment and confidence in things working out for you? A time when your mind was completely at ease and hovered there for awhile? Inside you…
Did you know that most of which we lose as life progresses, we lose not to an aggressive theft, but rather to a deception. A deception is most effective when it is talking you out of something you already had. It’s never sudden or bold as it would likely cause us to wake up. Instead…
There’s a great little book affectionately called the “Blue Book” that used to be handed out as a collateral study to this life changing class I had just taken called, “Power For Abundant Living.” The study, accurately named “The Bible Tells Me So” begins with a chapter called “Release From Your Prisons.” The idea being…
They say you know a man by his fruit. Well to take it a step further, the fruit you are able to garner for yourself in any category of your life indicates your success or failure. This is taking responsibility at the highest level. Instead of blaming God, circumstances or bad luck, you have to…

There’s just something about the morning, long before the world machine gets going. There’s a gentleness in the air, a softness absent any sharp edges. It’s peaceful…
Good thoughts, the “just some good thoughts” I support have always been centered in logic. That is why I have always been enamored with the beauty of God’s Word and the perfect, flawless logic on which it is based. Some weird religious beliefs aside, God’s heart for man, God’s perfect system, God’s inherent perfection has…
As someone who prides himself in informing, there is something I need to tell you tonight. This seemingly insignificant piece of information could change your whole perspective of sharing life with God.
