A lady in my church once told me, “Pastor Tod shouldn’t get upset if he sees us fall asleep in church. Some of us live in such chaos that we just can’t help but nod off in the peace and presence of God.” I laughed when she said this, but then realized how true it […]

I have such a love for music that I can’t just turn on one album at a time— I literally shuffle all my songs every day and listen to my collection like a radio station. The only difference between my shuffle playlist and a real radio station is that all my genres are mixed together!

So let’s talk about condemnation. Number one, it’s a mean trick of the devil. Number two, it’s a self-pronounced sentence of guilt (meaning, it’s fed to you by the devil). And hopefully the obvious number three is (just to be clear), God’s not the author of it. CONVICTION IS HOW GOD CORRECTS US. CONDEMNATION IS

SO WHAT DO THE SCRIPTURES TELL US ABOUT GOD? Here’s the deal… if we don’t see God in the right light, we won’t be able to understand and see a lot of things correctly. In order to grow and mature in your walk with God, you have to first KNOW HIM. The Bible says GOD

As we enter the Christmas season, I am once again struck by the awesomeness of God’s incredible love for us manifested in the Christmas story. In the most profound display of true agape love ever to occur, God sent His most precious gift to live, die and rise again for broken humanity – Himself in
When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them. The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. Psalm 126:1-3
