Every Child Is Made in the Image of God: A Bible-Based Call for Body Safety, Bodily Autonomy, and Consent

How do we use our leadership as adults? Specifically, how do we lead in contexts where there are children? The truth is, there are some conversations adults delay because they feel uncomfortable, awkward, or hard to begin. In particular, many parents put off conversations about body safety, bodily autonomy, and consent because they appear to be some of the most challenging conversations they will…

Most of you subscribed to this blog and the email newsletter to get weekly inspirations from the Bible, which I used to post every weekend, and if that is what you are looking for I recommend the Life Bible and the YouVersion Bible which both provide daily Bible verses and…

Life is Not a Test

Life is not a test. It’s not about pass/fail or making it to the top of the class. Life is not a singular thing.  It is not a single decision or a moment in time. Life is not about making it to the finish line or performing above the average. Life is not a test. God is not checking to see if you have it all right.  God isn’t sitting there with pen in hand waiting to mark an “X” or a check on…

Don't Trade Justice for Tyranny

Whoever leaked Justice Samuel Alito's draft majority opinion at the Supreme Court has violated the sacred trust of the American people and the spirit of integrity and justice that were established at the founding of our nation.

Whoever leaked Justice Samuel Alito’s draft majority opinion at the Supreme Court has violated the sacred trust of the American people and the spirit of integrity and justice that were established at the founding of our nation and have survived until this day uncompromised in that circumstance. This crass, illegal, and dishonorable act should be investigated, and the perpetrator should be…

The Only Way To Success

Sleep is a great measure of success. Every entrepreneur and business owner I know asks and answers the question, "What is keeping me up at night?" on a pretty regular basis. Learn how this question can help you discover the only way to success...

Sleep is a great measure of success. Every entrepreneur and business owner I know asks and answers the question, “What is keeping me up at night?” on a pretty regular basis. The fact is, when our businesses and our lives are in God’s hands, nothing keeps us up at night. I’ve been on a long walk with God since He saved me in 1996, and one of the most challenging things about my relationship with…

Don't Accept The Faustian Bargain

Governments and Leaders are falling for the OLDEST mistake in the book, the Faustian Bargain. Don't make this mistake...

Integrity, vision, strategy, and results matter. In the last couple of years we have seen a lot of people trying to go along with whatever the herd is doing; seeking safety in the crowd. Unfortunately, greatness, success, prosperity, peace, excellence and the actual security these deliver are not found in the crowd, they are found in the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Jesus…

You Can't Be Christian And Vote Democrat

You Can't Be Christian And Vote Democrat #WalkAway #VoteLife #MAGA #Trump2020

When I was praying this morning, God put it on my heart to share one thought with all of the people I am close to:

If you vote for Biden/Harris 2020 and down ticket Democrats, you are LITERALLY endorsing, supporting, continuing, and funding the GENOCIDE of almost ONE MILLION AMERICANS next year, and EVERY YEAR after that.  Please, please, PLEASE RECONSIDER and #VoteLife like your life depends…

Facing Opposition

Do not be mistaken or surprised. You will face opposition. You will experience struggle. You will face tough choices. You will walk through darkness, challenge, and fear. You will experience defeat, set backs, and obstacles. You will have hard times.

Jesus said,

“Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” – John 16

Why I Am Pro Life

So, let’s talk about life.   I am pro-life because God is pro-life.  God is the creator, redeemer, sustainer, and savior of life.  God is so invested in life that not only did He create humans to be born, He also designed them to be born again so that their life would not only be a natural and finite life, but could also become an eternal life. In fact, the Bible explicitly tells us more than…

Is God Dead?

  It’s easy to believe in hindsight that the prophets in the Bible spoke the truth about events that have now taken place.  For example, it doesn’t require great vision or understanding to identify that, in fact, the original states of Israel and Judah were eventually conquered and their people taken into exile as foretold.  And it isn’t a huge leap of faith to accept that the temple was…

Do We Live In A Post-Truth World?

The Reality of God

The Reality of God

In the modern world it has become acceptable to believe that nothing is really real, and so everything is acceptable. Movies and television portray fantastic beasts and fictional circumstances with such clarity and conviction that the common observer enjoys relaxing their skepticism, giving in to the willing suspension of disbelief, and experiencing the world of imagination and fantasy without…

Sudden Favor

If you have ever had a fever, you know that fevers are basically a whole lot of waiting for that moment when the fever breaks. You may have hours or even a day or more of discomfort as your symptoms work their course. And then, suddenly, the fever is done and you feel a sense of normalcy return. You may be tired, uncomfortable, sweaty, or weak, but you can tell that the fever has lost its grip…

Every Sunday morning at 9:30AM you’ll find me at 6315 Sykesville Road in Eldersburg, MD setting up for the Creation Springs Church 10:30AM weekly service.
