The Role of Prayer
on July 4th, 2025
"When I heard these words, I sat down and wept. I mourned for a number of days, fasting and praying before the God of the heavens." - Nehemiah 1:4 When God gives you a burden, He does not expect you to carry it alone. He expects you to bring it to Him in prayer. That is what we see in Nehemiah. His heart broke for the people in Jerusalem, but before he picked up a tool or made a plan or asked the ...  Read More

The Burden That Won’t Let You Go
on July 3rd, 2025
"When I heard these words, I sat down and wept. I mourned for a number of days, fasting and praying before the God of the heavens." - Nehemiah 1:4 Big visions don’t usually begin with inspiration. It begins with heartbreak. When Nehemiah heard the news about Jerusalem, he didn’t shrug it off. He didn’t say, “That’s a shame,” and move on with his life. He sat down. He wept. He fasted. He prayed. Be...  Read More

"Where there is no vision the people perish" - Proverbs 29:18 Have you ever looked at your life and thought everything felt a little blurry? Like you were trying to move forward, but could not quite see where you were going?

"Then I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, Look, God’s dwelling is with humanity, and he will live with them. They will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them and will be their God." – Revelation 21:3 It is hard to wrap our minds around how different heaven will be from this world.

Living with Eternal Perspective
on June 29th, 2025
"Look, I am making everything new." – Revelation 21:5 It is easy to get attached to this world. We spend so much of our lives building things here: careers, homes, relationships, goals. We put so much energy into making life comfortable and meaningful here on earth. But Scripture gives us an important reminder. This world is not permanent. Isaiah 43 says God is doing something new, and Revelation ...  Read More

"And anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire." – Revelation 20:15 The Bible does not shy away from the reality of judgment. For those who are unsaved, Scripture lays out what comes next. It speaks of eternal separation from God in a place of punishment called the lake of fire, a place not designed for people but for the devil and his demons. Jes...  Read More

Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God." – Romans 5:8-9 I will never forget the look on my son’s face the first time he met Shaquille O’Neal.

Face to Face with Jesus

"Then the sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, each one was judged according to their works." – Revelation 20:13 Earlier this year, I heard a story about a fisherman’s monument in Homer, Alaska. It was a tribute to those who lost their lives at sea. On a plaque beside the statue was a line that said the sea tells a story. It tells of the lif...  Read More
