To gain the treasure, you must leave the trash.

In the stillness I find my heart growing hot while I seek the person I have already found. God is so much more than I know.

With different changes but the same plot, sometimes our story has already unfolded. It’s just trapped in the pages of ink and paper. God is waiting in His Word.

It rains on everyone. It may be storming but there is a covering.Life may be challenging, but there is a covering.It may seem impossible, hopeless, doubtful, fear-ridden, and pain-laden, but there is a covering. There...

We never realize the power of real love unless we witness or experience a transaction, because real love costs.

An extrovert looks at a stack of books and sees a stack of papers, while an introvert looks at the same stack and sees a soothing source of escape.

The more we have of Jesus, the greater the love we have; the greater the love, the greater the sacrifice; the greater the sacrifice, the more we become like Jesus; the more we become like...

If we give Jesus what we have, what we give Him will never be less.

Heaven will happen someday, but let’s not wait. Heaven can start now.

Battling the noise is creating a space for God and acknowledging the space He occupies, which is all of it. Invite God into all twenty-four hours of your day.This is the path of a #StaticJedi.

Think most of what matters. Think less of what doesn’t.

As you know Jesus more, you naturally love Him more. The less you know of Him, the less you love. To know Jesus is to love Him.

A day is too precious a treasure to forfeit.

When others sit, a #StaticJedi is found standing—even standing along, with a message not in hand but secure in heart!

The noise distorts the truth but we can break through, we need to base our foundation upon the Rock.

With full mugs and expectant hearts-Acknowledge His presence.Listen.Give Him your day, each day.Every day.

Actions speak louder than words, in fact. When we don’t take action, we foster the mistaken reality of our old identity.

The church is not a brick-and-mortar structure. The church is made of flesh & blood. Followers of #Christ are the church.

Our bodies are simply our shells, the package for the spirit and the soul.

Through Christ we have a new identity–we should not be speaking to our old man, the sinner, and giving him his identity back.

Little decisions over time make a big impact on our lives.

Guess what, Jesus loves to walk with us. He loves to be with us all the time—not just in the scheduled time or in the leftovers. The only change He wants is our hearts.Let’s change...

Through His Word we fall in love with Him more, and because of this we love more.

It is a dangerous trap to believe that our search is over because we have gained all the riches we are going to have.

We are often unaware of the gradual decline and the erosion in our lives but not unaware of the gnawing feeling it brings.

We need to get to the heart of each heart issue—and we can’t do it. Only the Maker can. The world needs #Jesus.

Too many people never catch tomorrow as they let go of today. Capture the precious now instead of holding onto the hope of tomorrow.

Protect the ears of your heart, rather than being drawn in each day like the fading tides that dance daily with the moon.

Overeating at Thanksgiving is a case in point. It’s a national tradition.

If Christ is the head of the church and we are the body, lets be disciples who master the noise.

Sometimes the answers you need to hear aren’t the answers you want to hear.

It doesn’t matter if you have a lot or a little money. It’s what you do with it that determines its power.

God invites us to start and continue each day with Him. I have found it wise to accept His request.

If we want to know our God-given gifts, we must know the giver.

Creation is the vocal chords of God speaking each day through the colors of the sunrise, the vastness of the night sky,the teeming of life in the ocean, the majesty of the mountains.
