You Feed Them
“But Jesus said, “You feed them.” Mark 6:37 NLT Mark chapter 6 in the Bible is for for me one of the greatest. It speaks to me in many ways. Containing such significant amounts of content that challenges and assures me. This chapter teaching us that those closest to us may be the most rejecting…

What Next?
“With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand. He did not say anything to them without using a parable. But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything.” James 4:33-34 When I was a little boy I recall laying with my dad and looking…

”You can’t. I can!
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13 NKJV Look to your left and to your right. Look in front of you and behind you. What do you see? Yesterday Megan, my wife took a step of obedience that she had wanted to take a week earlier when I stopped her.…

What the Mind Hears
If you will listen, the World will lie to you and limit you. “Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I am reminded of my shortcomings.”” Genesis 41:9 NIV. (He remembered Joseph, two years after Joseph helped him be restored.) One of my favorite stories in the Bible is the story of Joseph. As…
