I have always loved the rumble and roar of sports cars and trucks equipped with high-performance exhaust systems. There is something exhilarating about hearing the genuine sound of a powerful engine through Flowmaster, Borla, MagnaFlow, or another performance exhaust. Over the years, I have spent time and money trying to make some of my vehicles […]
Psalm 71 has been one of my favorite passages over the years in ministry because it keeps bringing me back to what really matters. I am called to keep telling what God has done. As long as He gives me breath, I do not want to miss opportunities to make Him known. Psalm 71:15 says, […]

Long before anyone competes, there is preparation, correction, discipline, and a lot of unseen work. That is often where faith is shaped too. Hebrews […]

I was talking with my friend Dr. Ken Castor earlier this month and asked if I could reshare this timeless and helpful message with you that he gave at my church a few years ago. It’s about how the pure in heart are blessed when they overcome the distractions all around them to focus on […]
Marriage is one of God’s greatest gifts. It’s a covenant designed to reflect his love, grow our character, and bless future generations. Hebrews 13:4 says that marriage should be honored by all.

It is a familiar expression in many congregations, and at first it can sound reasonable and spiritual. But when we look closer, it usually points to something deeper.
