Present Your Gift
Proverbs 18:16 – “A man’s gift makes room for him and brings him before the great.” For years, I felt like I was chasing a job title more than I was chasing purpose. I looked at what everyone else was doing and thought, “Maybe I should be doing that too.” But that pursuit led toContinue reading “Present Your Gift”
You Were Made to Produce

When I have words to write – I write them. When those words are meant for public consumption – I postContinue reading “Commit, Surrender, Walk”
Yes, I Will
This morning, in my quiet time, I started off feeling like a disappointment to God. I am pretty consistently in the word. And I listen to more sermons per week than I ever thought was humanly possible, via podcasts, church re-plays, and live in-person preaching. A constant theme in most of these messages is howContinue reading “Yes, I Will”

We all have flaws and weaknesses. Some are self-inflicted and some are the result of the acts of others. Whatever the cause, they are there for us to battle and struggle with, and for many of us, we will battle our entire lives to overcome them.
