I believe we each have a purpose in this world. I believe those purposes vary based on the skills that God has blessed you with. Whether you are one to teach, to help others, to ...

There is a short told episode in the bible (Mark 10:46-52) in which Jesus is traveling and comes across a blind man named Bartimaeus. The man hears that Jesus is coming and he shouts out ...

How will you spend your day today? A short road trip to visit family? A relaxing day watching sports on television? Maybe a nice dinner at home while spending the day cleaning up around the ...

As I continue to study scripture I have come to a conclusion. We use a misnomer when referring to the bible which I believe has led to a widespread misunderstanding. The misnomer is calling lessons ...

Patience has never been a strong point for me. I know what I want and I push as hard as I can. And sometimes I will admit the old saying "haste makes waste" rings true. ...

Today begins a new chapter. Tami begins managing our second location in Tecumseh, Amanda has returned to our main location in St. Helen. I truly believe God has provided a path out of the constant ...

9-11 was just a horrifying day. I remember it vividly. I can remember where I was, what I was doing and even whom I spoke to. Some time later and as of recent there are ...

I have come to see just how serious this is. It is not an easy thing to look past our wordly views. But for me once I opened my mind, questioned purpose and started seeking ...

What is it about these gracious requirements and gifts that cause some to turn away? None of these are bad or evil. None are impossible feats. None will harm the essence of your own well-being ...

Short on words today though deep in thought. Again please keep the Silva Family in your prayers today as they lay their son Tyler to rest. My daughter is home for her friends funeral and ...

I know my posts of late still boggle some of my friends and families minds. Some see me as out of character. I hope that my over enthusiastic display of faith does not create a ...

Studying the Word of God each morning has been so enlightening. I am finding so much information regarding truth. It is amazing how much is taken out of context when we share individual verses and ...

Sometimes it feels like this could be an all day conversation with Jesus. Heart is full. Mind is spinning. These often times seem to be the days of overwhelming odds.

I have shared this verse a couple of times now and having read further into the context I have found that I, like many others, have taken it out of context. This verse in it's ...

I am spending much time in God's presence through prayer. I speak to Him with thanks for His blessings in my life (family, friends, opportunities, resources, etc), I seek His guidance in my life's decisions ...

This was a very good movie and based on a true story. Huge shout out and thank you to the leadership team at LifeChurch StHelen for treating us today. It was definitely worth the time ...

Life can be so hard to understand at times...often times perhaps. Especially when life leads to unexpected death. A loss so hard to comprehend that we simply look to God for blame. We ask why? ...

Each day comes with it's troubles, concerns and burdens. There is no easy way through life but I know with God I will achieve His will. I may not get all of the worldly glory ...

Life can be such a rollercoaster of emotion. One moment things can be going your way and like a light switch it can go sideways. I think it would be valid to say that one ...

I have much on my mind this Sunday morning. There is so much to be done. My plan was to travel down to Tecumseh today to start setting up the new location. However, I feel ...

This is all the peace I need to begin each day. I feel like there are a hundred different things happening at once yet I feel motivated to just begin. The next 2 weeks will ...

Not everything in the Bible makes me smile. But then again we all have the common sense to know we don't get to take one penny with us when we die. Sometimes we have to ...

Think I'm crazy? (ya I have heard that a couple times now) What if I'm wrong about the scripture (which I am absolutely sure I am not). What if we came from nothing and exist for ...

Yesterday was a long day but another victory. My store manager, Tami and I spent about 5 hours driving...pulling a trailer in some fierce winds. All that time driving to just spend about an hour ...

I want to encourage everyone to watch one of my favorite movies. A movie I watched 30 years ago (read the book too). My ex-mother in law from my first marriage shared it with me ...

It was mentioned about me now being "religious." This is untrue. Religion is not something I believe in. In my opinion religion is controversial, religion is all over the place with "beliefs." I have just ...

I work on this daily now. Conflict begets conflict, rumor begets rumor, and hate begets hate. I choose to do better and be better and to surround myself with like minded people. This world is ...

I forgive them....

May you have a blessed day. We hope to see some smiling customers walk through our door today.

Denominations I feel are a huge factor as to why so many miss out on the blessings of being part of a church. Remember man has a tendency to twist words to accommodate their beliefs. ...
