Proverbs 3 was written by King Solomon from Israel. Solomon was the son of David, who was a warrior poet king. Because David was so blessed the kingdom of Israel was given a time of peace. David defeated and subjugated many...
A lot of the book of Proverbs is about proper thinking and the ways of wisdom. Proverbs 2 is a pillar in that conversation. A lot of people today think they’re wise, but in reality, they’re reverting to old customs and...
Psalm 4 is a song of worship written by King David. I’m not sure of the time period he composed the Psalm, but we know David lived a turbulent life. He was a man after God’s own heart, and he was...
Proverbs 1 states its purpose right at the beginning of the book. I love that. The purpose of the book of Proverbs is to instruct the younger generation on right thinking and good choices. It gives a detailed description of the...
2 Thessalonians 3 is the final chapter of 2 Thessalonians. In this book, we’ve been talking about proper Christian living, and how to trust God when the Anti-Christ comes. Most of the issues in our lives can be attributed to improper...
2 Thessalonians 2 describes how the apocalypse will come about. There’s still a lot of information missing, but we can watch for signs to know when it is about to arrive. I have really bad fears about the apocalypse or the...
2 Thessalonians 1 is a concise chapter in the Bible. With only 11 verses many people will think it doesn’t have much to say. And they would be wrong in that thought process. 2 Thessalonians 1 begins with greetings from Paul...
1 Thessalonians 5 is the final chapter in the book. Here Paul gives us some insight into the last days and gives us some final advice on how to live our lives. As I read the books Paul wrote, I became...
1 Thessalonians 4 has two focuses. At first glance, these topics don’t seem connected at all. However, if you delve deeper into them, you’ll see how connected they really are. The first generation of believers believed that Jesus was coming back...
The text in 1 Thessalonians 3 shows how much Paul loved the church in Thessalonica. They were so worried about the church that Paul said he sent Timothy to encourage them. One of the things I love about the early church...
1 Thessalonians 2 shows a great contrast between believers and nonbelievers. It shows how true believers will love one another and nonbelievers become selfish. While this gets blended a little bit, (we do see how things pan out in the church)...
1 Thessalonians 1 is a short chapter, and because of that, it’s often overlooked. I believe if you look deep enough into scripture, you’ll hear the Holy Spirit speak to you. Oftentimes we go through life at breakneck speed. Nothing happens...
In Galatians 6 we learn that we should be helping our fellow believers. If they fall into sin we should help them break free. Many times in the church we tend to compare ourselves to others. (I’ve found myself doing that...
Psalm 1 is one of my favorite Psalms because I came across it when I had to make some difficult decisions. When I was in High School I always wanted to hang out with the cool kids, but realized quickly they...
Galatians 4 is about the human race growing up under the law, and its eventual adulthood. When we reached adulthood we received the grace and mercy that abounds from Jesus. Paul states this perfectly by using the children metaphor. In our...
Galatians 3 states the difference between the law and faith in Christ. The two topics are related but are NOT interchangeable, it’s almost like comparing a fully constructed building to the foundation and considering them exactly the same. Without the law,...
Galatians 2 is the second chapter of a letter the Apostle Paul wrote to the Galatian Church. In this particular chapter, Paul is telling the Galatian church about the early days of Pauls’s ministry, he reminds them that we are saved...
Galatians 1 is an epistle written by Paul to the Galatian Church. From a geographical perspective, Galatia was a region in what is now central Turkey. Here Paul continues his normal writing style, he begins with greetings and then gets to...
Colossians 4 doesn’t make many sermon illustrations in the church today. I think it’s because the chapter only contains 18 verses and the last 12 are Paul saying this person says hi. However, I think we overlook a major lesson when...
Colossians 3 goes deeper into righteous living, and how we as Christians need to act. In today’s age, many people consider a lot of beliefs to be old and antiquated. However, I believe that to be dangerous, and shallow thinking. God...
As I read Colossians 2 more and more I see Paul as a father agonizing over his children. He keeps praying and imploring them to do the right thing. I see the scary time when you’ve done all you can for...
Colossians 1 has a major and defining theme. It states that Jesus has always been God and that he reigns supreme. One of the things most Christians don’t realize is that Jesus has always existed. He was there during the creation...
Titus 3 is a beautiful text about doing what is good and right before the lord. Many times we try to justify our sins. We say things like I’m still waiting, or well God doesn’t care. But he does, and I’m...
Titus 2 is a letter from Paul to Titus, one of his children in the faith. It’s very similar to The Book of Timothy, and it reminds me a lot of our society today. One of the things that amazes me...
The message of Titus 1 is about church leadership. In recent years we’ve seen many great leaders in the church fall into sin. Some people think it’s an epidemic, others think hear about it more because of social media and the...
At first glance, Ephesians 6 seems to be broken into two unrelated topics. First off we have obedience to earthly authorities, and secondly, we have the armor of God. However, Ephesians 6 is a lot deeper than most people realize the...
Ephesians 5 is about living in the light, and instructions on how we should act. Paul does a really nice breakdown of actions and talking patterns in this chapter. What’s funny is that it was written over 2000 years ago and...
Ephesians 4 is a hallmark chapter in the new testament. It continues the vein of unity in the body of Christ and goes into righteous living. Every Christian should be refreshing themselves with this chapter because we are not better than...
Ephesians 3 is a powerful chapter of the bible, revealing God’s mysterious plan. I believe the plan goes hand in hand with the great commission as well. (why wouldn’t it?) God’s great plan that is laid out for us, is a...
Ephesians 2 is about repentance and letting your sinful nature die, but more importantly, it’s about a new life in Jesus. In John 14:6 Jesus said that he’d come to bring us life and that life would be abundant. Ephesians 2...
The book of Ephesians has been quoted many times by Christians, in addition to that many sermons have been preached from this book. In Ephesians 1, we read about the basics of Christianity, and what God and Jesus were trying to...
Philippians 4 is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible. When I was in Ministry School I memorized this entire book because I loved it so much. I’ll start with a brief synopsis, Philippians 4 is a message about being...
Philippians 3 is where Paul gets down to the bare bones of what he wants to say. Don’t get me wrong, I love Philippians 1, and my post from last week Philippians 2. But here, is where he drops some major...
Philippians 2 describes the attitude we should have while following Jesus. It’s a stark contrast to how Christians are perceived today. I’m not saying we are that way, some people are, but what should our attitude be when we follow Jesus?...
In 2 Timothy 4, we have Paul giving his final instructions to Timothy. He encourages him, reminds him to keep pressing into Christ, and then sends his regards to other friends. Many scholars believe this to be the last book Paul...
2 Timothy 3 is about standing firm in the last days. For those who don’t know what the last days are, it’s basically the start of the apocalypse. (give or take) Give or take. The last days begin when men and...
In 2 Timothy 2, Paul is laying out the basics of what every Christian should be like. In the first half of the chapter, he’s talking about being a good soldier for Jesus. What this means is obeying God, and making...
2 Timothy 1 starts out with Paul reminding Timothy of his family, and who first came to Jesus. He then explains to him that while he’s in chains, he’s still going to rejoice. Pretty much the entire chapter of 2 Timothy...
Philippians 1 is the first chapter in one of my favorite books of the bible. I love it because Paul breaks the intentions of people and God down perfectly. God cares about us, he loves us so much that he sent...
Repentance is a word that isn’t mentioned in Churches a lot today. Granted it does vary by the denomination and the people group, but to me, it seems that it’s a forgotten word. However, it’s mentioned a lot in the Bible...
1 Timothy 6 is once again about combating false teachings. This was a big issue in the early church, and something Paul wrote about extensively. At this time people were trying to meld Christianity with Judaism, and other religions. The same...
1 Timothy 5 is about keeping a proper balance in church relationships. It gives insight to women and elders on how they should behave. But it also states how they should be treated and provided for. A lot of this is...
1 Timothy 4 is a warning against false teachers. It gives us a basic outline of red flags and triggers to keep in mind when anybody is teaching us. 1 Timothy 4 reminds us that False teachings can come from anywhere....
1 Timothy 3 is a short chapter in the Bible, but it’s because Paul gets straight to the point. This chapter and James 3:1-12 references people who’d like to be leaders in the church. Leadership roles in the church are difficult...
In 1 Timothy 2, Paul breaks down the proper way to act, and worship God. To me it’s almost like he’s writing out people should act and treat each other in a church service. He states that men should be worshipping...
1 Timothy 1 is the first chapter in a book written by Paul and addressed to Timothy who Paul has mentored in the faith. The book contains affirmations and instructions to Timothy so he can fight false teachings that people in...
The book of Jude is short and doesn’t get a lot of attention. Books with more familiar names like 1 John, or even 1 Peter are slightly longer but more sermons are written about them. I also think it’s name recognition....
3 John is a short book in the bible. In fact, it only contains one chapter. Much like 2 John, which I’ve written about previously. it focuses on loving the people around us. It also contains a warning, that when leaders...
2 John doesn’t have multiple chapters. In fact, it has no easily broken-out divisions. The main point of this letter is to give an introduction because John himself is coming to speak with this group of Christians. During this time frame,...
1 John 5 is about loving God and having faith in him. Here we learn how we are able to be saved, and we have a testimony of the Trinity. Receiving eternal life is a gift from God. But it’s not...
1 John 4 starts with a stark warning about False Prophets. In my lifetime I’ve seen quite a few of these, and even interacted with a couple of them. Often we think of the Anti-Christ from the book of Revelation when...
1 John 3 is a short but powerful chapter in the bible. Here John breaks down and explains what Jesus meant when he said Love one another. He also phrases love as the main way we can identify who is a...
1 John 2 is exclusively about followers of Jesus. It gives a great description of what a follower should look like. It also explains what our actions should be. Whenever I go through this chapter I get really convicted because I...
1 John 1 starts out with a bang. He starts with talking about he “we” know the truth. By we he generally means those who he knows, and whom he’s done ministry with. I don’t know if John knew he was...
2 Peter 3 is specifically talking about Judgment Daty. It goes by many names: Every year Hollywood releases blockbusters about the end of the world. The apocalypse is engrained in our cultural mindset. Deep down, I think we know the end...
2 Peter 2 teaches about being wary of false teachers and their teachings. The Bible is very specific about sin and how to find Jesus but these people twist the truth and have deceived many people throughout the centuries. A good...
2 Peter 1 Is An Epistle Written By Peter And the Apostle Of The Early Church. The Letter Teaching How Christians Can Increase Their Faith And Reminds Them To Obey Scripture. There’s a difference between the writing styles of 1 Peter...

1 Peter 4, Talks about the right way to live for God, and what to expect when you follow him. Life is difficult, but when you have Christ you have an advocate to walk with you. Peter begins the chapter by...
In 1 Peter 3, we have a continuation of Peter speaking to the church about righteous and holy living. When discussing holy living you have to dig into the actions and reactions of people. Many times Christian people will react in...
In 1 Peter 2, we learn about repentance, and how we need to let everything go. I feel like this is a phase we all get into from time to time, however, for me, it’s been the last few years. The...
1 Peter 1 is a letter to multiple churches. The early church didn’t have a bible they could reference, so instead, they listened to the people who traveled and lived with Jesus. They also had the Holy Spirit to guide them,...
In John 21 we have a few final heartfelt moments between Jesus and his disciples. The disciples are emotionally, spiritually, and mentally drained. The week prior was full of heartache and pain. So they went back to what they used to...
In John 19 we saw the death of Jesus. But In John 20 we see him triumph over death when the empty tomb is discovered. The devil thought he’d won, but victory was snatched from his claws. The death of Jesus...

John 18 is a turning point that has been building the last few chapters of John. While the last couple of chapters has contained narration. John 18 contains action. And with it, the Betrayal, Arrest, And trial of Jesus. Jesus knew...
In John 17 we see Jesus having a conversation with God. It’s not a one-way conversation but we only hear what Jesus said. I wish a response was recorded. I think it might be another one of his prayers where it’s...
In John 16 we have Jesus giving some final commands and information to his disciples. It’s a very powerful but overlooked chapter in John. It doesn’t have a lot happening except dialogue, but it states what will happen to them in...
In John 15 we have Jesus explaining that he’s the vine, and weirdly enough our hope. A connection with Jesus is how we connect to God. The Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth, and into the presence of God....
In John 14 We see a candid moment between Jesus and his disciples. It’s the night before the crucifixion and Jesus is trying to instill strength in his followers. Hindsight is always 20/20 but Jesus knew what was about to happen....
John 13 is a lesson on servant leadership. Here we have Jesus knowing the end is near, and the final thing he does is wash his disciple’s feet. It was an act of servanthood and love. I believe Jesus did it...
In John 12, we begin to see pieces come together. Why Did Jesus Come To Earth? What was he planning? And why was it so different from what everyone else wanted? And Jesus surrenders his life for you, and me. While...
John 11 opens with Jesus receiving a message about a dear friend who is sick. The message has an extreme urgency to it and even though Jesus says his sickness will not end in death. Lazarus dies. Does this mean Jesus...
Learning a few ways to reduce stress can be extremely beneficial to you. There’s a lot of stress in this world, I’d even say the stress of it is too much to bear sometimes. In this day and age, we seem...
When I was 10 years old my family went on a vacation. It was the first and only vacation I remember ever having, and for some reason, I couldn’t stop worrying about my life. Funny enough, I broke down crying in...

In John 5 we see Jesus fighting the religious leaders of the Jewish faith. In fact, he is disobedient to THEIR ADDED LAWS and Customs. Jesus came to fulfill the law, but the Pharisees had added to it. Anytime you see...

In life, there are a lot of distractions, and many times we’ll set out to do one thing, but forget about it. If this sounds like you, it’s a good practice to learn how to accomplish goals in your life. Look...
I know a lot of people with leadership skills who are wasting away. They think if they wait eventually they can lead. They hope that sometime in the distant future they’ll be in charge and it’ll be their time to shine....
One of the biggest issues you’ll ever face in the business world is having a manager that loves to micromanage their people. Micromanagement is the bane of free thought. It kills collaboration, makes people feel inferior, and annihilates free thought. For...
I’ve seen a lot of people in my life who are always running away from problems. They hate the system, society, and even their family and friends. However, if people look at themselves, they usually see issues inside their hearts. This...
In John 10:10 Jesus teaches us how the thief comes to steal kill and destroy. In addition to that, he shows how his mission differs from the thief’s. Jesus wants us all to have abundant life, but what is abundant life?...
Entrepreneurs fail for a multitude of reasons, I’m writing some of the most common ones below. I wrote an article a few months back called Fail To Succeed. This topic about why Entrepreneurs Fail is similar. Most people don’t realize that...

Discipleship is a huge buzzword in the church today. Maybe it’s been this way for years but to me, it seems like I’m always hearing about it. The frustrating thing for me is to see people who don’t know what it...
I grew up going to church and gave my life to Jesus at a young age. Even when I followed Jesus, I always worried about sin. Fear would creep into my heart, and I’d worry that I screwed everything up. God...
One of the biggest issues an organization will face is a lack of leadership integrity. The public doesn’t care if it’s real or perceived, it’s always bad for business. I can’t tell you how many companies and organizations I’ve seen and...
Jesus is the answer, It doesn’t matter what issue or problem is happening in your life. Jesus can and will see you through whatever issue you are facing. I’ve heard this phrase since I was a small child, but have only...
Jesus is a topic that many people try to write about, and many people fail. To me, words cannot describe who is Jesus, but I feel the need to try. Understand as you read this, that he is so much more...
The last few years have been really rough. My father had cancer and passed away. My businesses have been struggling, and I was hoping to find love. Everything I’ve been focused on has failed, and I’ve been losing faith. When you...
Growing up in the church I had a huge problem with worship. It was boring and I hated all the singing and the clapping. Also, there were so many people that I didn’t like being around there. Most of my issues...

One of the most difficult things you can do in life is to forgive and let go. Especially when someone you loved has hurt you. Those are the deepest wounds, and they’re not easily healed. However forgiveness isn’t for them, it’s...
As someone who fights anxiety and depression regularly, I’ve developed a battle plan to help me overcome them. It works most of the time, and the times it doesn’t, are the times I choose to fall into it. I know that...
Having a generous heart can be difficult. Most people think their money isn’t going to do much. Or they think it will be used for nefarious purposes. However, I think giving is a God-given responsibility for all people. There’s always someone...
Does God Love Everyone? Yes, he does, in fact, the Bible confirms this fact many times. John 3:16 is one of the most well-known verses, and it says that he does. However, we must also remember that God’s love is something...
A few days ago I had the opportunity to visit my father on his deathbed. Our relationship had been strained for 18 years, but we had finally found some reconciliation and forgiveness. It was a touching affair where I held his...
Two and a half years ago I received a phone call from my brother. He told me our father was dying of cancer. At the time my father and I had a huge falling out. He’d made some choices that I...
Who are you? It’s a profound question that many of us have trouble answering. Who are we in Christ? Well, that’s even worse, If you don’t know yourself how could you know that? I’ve been trying to study this topic for...
The Bible says a lot about faithfulness and endurance. Luke 16:10 is a prime example of being faithful with little, to be trusted with much. Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest...
In my life I’ve been a failure, at least that’s what I tell myself whenever I look at my list of Dreams & Goals. It seems like the list gets longer and I keep growing older. However, my dreams keep getting...
This post sucks to write, and it’s even worse to go through. Dealing with parental death isn’t something you ever think about. One day it hits you. I feel like I was lucky, I knew it was coming. My father had...
The mind is a beautiful and dangerous thing. One second you can be on top of the world, and the next falling into the depths. Chances are good that sometime in your life you’ll need some words of encouragement. It doesn’t...

1 Corinthians 13 is a chapter about faith, hope, and love in the Bible. Its nickname is the ‘love chapter,” too. I think most people would agree with me when I say it’s the most quoted chapter in the Bible at...
In the business world, the term servant Leadership gets thrown around too much. It’s been happening for so long that I’m not sure many people understand what it means. It becomes a buzzword, something people throw out hoping to get the...
The Crucifixion Of Jesus was the most significant execution in history. Jesus was killed for doing nothing except making the establishment angry. This happened because he told the truth and this threatened their perceived power. The Crucifixion of Jesus was planned...
Psalm 121 is a chapter in the Bible that’s dear to my heart. I can’t tell you how many nights I’ve been in tears quoting this chapter to myself. In my life, I’ve lived through heavy depression, fear, and loneliness. But...
In the Bible, Jesus said, “I am the Way, The Truth, And The Life.” It comes from a portion of scripture with an address of John 14:6. Sometimes Jesus said some confusing things, but this forces us to dig a little...
Great leadership characteristics are something that most people aren’t born with. For many, it’s a learning process while they’re making horrible mistakes. I could tell you some leadership stories from my life that would make you laugh and some would make...

Faith and Hope aren’t that different from each other, in fact, I’d even say they’re related. I don’t think you can have hope without faith, and that’s probably vice versa. A lot of people have their own definitions but mine comes...
The last few weeks I’ve been in a funk, it’s been depressing and I haven’t been able to think. I started to come out of it yesterday and I looked over my posts since January. They are depressing, I needed to...
Two years ago I was working in the business field as a Project Manager, for a Fortune 500 company. I was content, paying my bills, and had money in my Roth. Some people love this feeling, to them it’s heaven, but...
Perseverance is the art of hanging in there when everything looks bleak. It isn’t admitting defeat, and it isn’t throwing in the towel. When you persevere, you’re holding on, believing that something will change. In many ways, it’s being faithful. While...
Last winter I became a snowboard instructor for a ski school called Skijammers. The school teaches elementary and middle school students about Snowboarding (and skiing). I didn’t know what I was getting myself into, and at times it seemed like I...
I’ve been in a fight with depression for most of my life. It stems from my broken childhood, and many of the lessons I learned during that time. It wasn’t until recently that I decided to make my fight public. The...
What is the meaning of life? Why are we here, and what should we be doing with our lives? These are questions that thousands of theologians and everyday people have pondered for centuries. I like exploring this question. It’s extremely deep...
In my life, I’ve walked a fine line. It’s a thin line between cockiness and confidence. This is a huge driving force in my life. However, I’ve always been prideful because of it, and pride comes before the fall. Pride goes before...
I grew up in the Church and was taught how a good Christian boy should act. The impression I received was to be a nice guy, a quiet guy. For some reason that rolled into piety, and the understanding that Jesus...
I think young Christians and people new to the faith have trouble with this concept. I know when I was young I did. You hear these words, ‘You are forgiven,’ but if you don’t believe you can go home and forget....
I’m not a psychiatrist and I’ve never played one on TV, but I do have real-world experience in the field of emotional pain. I lived through years of mental, and emotional abuse, with a father who probably needed medication. My emotional...
Since I became a writer a few years ago, I’ve been focusing on certain topics and you see them on my site. I’m honestly tired of writing blog posts on depression, and Forgiveness. Today’s topic is a breath of fresh air....
I remember a time when I lived in constant fear and darkness. It was a time when I didn’t believe that Jesus forgives me. I don’t remember ever trusting God, and I waited constantly for him to pounce when I did...
Over 2000 years ago a monumental event happened. A baby was born in a manger outside of Bethlehem. Angels sang in the fields to some shepherds, and wise men in the east observed a bright star. This birth was an invasion...
I wish I could write that at 4:37 PM today you'll receive your deliverance, but I don't know when it's coming. It is coming don't let unbelief rule your life. When you stop believing, despair and depression come in. When they...
When I was in ministry school, and barely scraping by. Money was hard to come by. Tuition was expensive and I was about to go on a missions trip with our school. At that point, I'd raised half the money for...
First and foremost, God will speak to his people through the words in the Bible. Hearing Gods voice is only a few pages away. Whenever I can't hear his voice another way. I retreat to this book, because he's always speaking...

You have authority in the name of Jesus, but It’s difficult to understand. I’ve had trouble writing about this topic due to the information to cover. However, none of that matters if you don’t realize the power you’re given by Jesus....
I'm the only one standing there, and I look into the valley below. Swarming into it is a horrible and evil looking enemy army (they resemble demons or LOTR Goblins). I take one look, and I know they have come for...
I’ve been told that forgiving is easy, it’s the forgetting that’s hard. However, I don’t necessarily agree with that. When someone does you harm, how do you forgive and forget? Some people just asked a question in their head: Doesn’t that...
1 Corinthians 2:9 That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him."...
The lord’s prayer is written at the beginning of Luke Chapter 11. It’s a simple prayer that Jesus tells his disciples when he’s teaching them to pray. I love the lord’s prayer because it’s literally God teaching us how to talk...
In Luke 8, we see Jesus setting foundational principles for Christianity The chapter contains the parable of the sower and the Kingdom of Heaven (or God depending on the translation) is heavy in the text. The Kingdom of Heaven isn’t something...
Forgiveness was a difficult road to travel. I hated my father and knew he hated me. Even When I was young he would scream, yell, and he’d threaten me. I was terrified of him. In my ebook ‘Hurricane Jerald’, I go...
Many people that struggle with being lonely also struggle with depression. They go through these thoughts daily, but even if you're not depressed, I'm sure you've struggled with loneliness. I know because I've been there myself....
