Today we will be talking about staying strong when life is hard. I suspect you can relate to that from either things you’re currently experiences, or what has happened to you or a loved one in the past. Life can be hard and we need a strong spirit in order to survive and endure those hard times. This is the last of a five part series I’ve titled Strength from Within: Building a Strong Spirit. We’ve discussed strengthening our spirit, feeding our spirit, learning to walk in our spirit, and gua...

Today we will be talking about guarding our spirit against weakness and undue influences. This is the fourth of a five part series I’ve titled Strength from Within: Building a Strong Spirit. We’ve looked at stirring the spirit, strengthening our spirit from the inside out, feeding our spirit, and learning to walk in the spirit. All of this is important in strengthening our spirit within. Remember that we’re made up of body, soul, and spirit–we’re three part beings. Proverbs 4:23 says, “...

We’ve talked about being stirred by the Spirit, strengthening our spirit from the Inside out, as well as feeding our spirit. Today we’ll covering walking in the Spirit. Galatians 5:16 says, “Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” Walking in the Spirit is not complicated—but it is intentional. It mea...

We started out with Strengthening Your Spirit from the Inside out, something that will change how we handle life—that’s the importance of strengthening our spirit.

Today we will be talking about being guided by the Holy Spirit, and how our own spirit is affected by our relationship with the Holy Spirit. We are made up of body, soul, and spirit. Therefore, we have to take care of each of those parts, the spirit being just one of them. Recognizing that we have an inner spirit, have you ever felt your spirit stirred—like something deep inside you is being awakened? That is often the work of the Holy Spirit. Being guided by the Spirit is not just about feel...

Today we will be talking about strengthening your spirit. This is the first of a five part series I’ve titled Strength from Within: Building a Strong Spirit. We’ll start out with Strengthening Your Spirit from the Inside Out, something that will change how you handle life—that’s the importance of strengthening your spirit.

Today we will be talking about being a man in the biblical sense of the word. I’m really not much into what I call Hallmark Holidays, such as father’s day, mother’s day, this day and that day. I think most of them were created to sell cards, flowers, chocolate and stuff for the back yard grill. Having said that, there is certainly a place for recognizing the biblical roles of both men and women, but I emphasize the biblical roles; not the roles that our current culture has decided to demand. ...

Let’s be honest—death is one of the things we don’t like to talk about. Most of us would rather change the subject. But death is a certainty. It’s not if, but when. We all know it’s coming, yet we rarely bring it up in conversation. But here’s something interesting: while we may not talk about it, we do think about it—a lot more than we might admit. But why does it matter? Because the Bible doesn’t shy away from the topic of death—and neither should we. Instead of avoiding it, Scripture tells...

If you’re like most hard-working Americans, you’ve probably felt the sting of inflation and the shrinking value of the dollar. Groceries cost more, gas prices are unpredictable, and our savings don’t stretch like they used to. It’s not just frustrating—it’s concerning. Proverbs 13:22, tells us, “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.” We wonder if that is even possible. That’s not just a financial statement in Proverbs—it’s wisdom, security, and the creation of a legacy....

Today we’re facing a sobering reality: our culture is changing fast—and not for the better. Many Americans feel like the country they grew up in is slipping away. It’s not just politics—it’s deeper than that. It’s about right and wrong being flipped, and truth being replaced by feelings. Its about things we know are wrong being called not only acceptable but absolutely right. Isaiah 5:20 warns us clearly: “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light fo...
