We get emotional about many things. We get irritated at traffic, angry when things don’t go our way at work, and concerned about money issues. We spend our emotions on many things every day of our lives.
Even the passive people are feeling many things inside of them, though...

Grab on to Trust…

Have you ever felt greed creeping up inside of you? I’m sure you have - it’s common to man. While it feels powerful and justified, it always leads to a dark place. “Greed causes fighting; trusting the Lord leads to prosperity.” ~ Proverbs 28:25 Some people have been friends with greed for so...

After we lose…

I was reading my Bible last night and came across this scripture.  “The Lord says, I will give you back what you lost…The threshing floors will again be piled high with grain and the presses will overflow with new wine and olive oil.” ~Joel 2:25,24

Superficial Focus

‘Behold, as the eye of servants look to the hand of their masters… so our eyes look to the Lord our God..’ -Psalm 123.2

My Infamous Treadmill Incident

The Nasty This past Sunday, as a part of our Scarred message series at Canyon Creek Church, I showed off the nasty scar on my leg. I get asked often where that scar came from by random strangers. It always allows me to warn them when happens when you don’t you the safety clip while running on...
