If the Lord allows you to live a long life, what will you be able to tell others about at the end of a lifetime of trusting the Lord? Would you take credit for your accomplishments or give tribute to the Lord? Most commentators believe David wrote this Psalm toward the end of his life…

It’s amazing how often we want to receive the benefits without the hard work necessary to achieve them. When my family has traveled to a certain city for vacation, there is a shopping center we like to frequent. And by we, I mean my wife. There are two stores, man stores I call them, I…

1. I’m not perfect.But anyone who knows me already knows that. It’s those who only see me from a distance or hold me on some type of preacher pedestal that will panic when I make a mistake or a decision they don’t agree with. It’s those who know me best that can see my imperfections…

I love the GPS on my phone and in my truck. I can say, “I’m hungry”, and it will say, “Well, we can’t have that”, then suggest the closest places and provide directions. That’s what I’m talking about! I’m the kind of driver that needs step by step directions when going to a new place…

This is the start of a 31 Day Devotional for men called, “31 Days To Becoming A Proverbs Man”. Hope you enjoy it. There is a big difference in wisdom and knowledge. When my dad taught me to shoot a gun, I learned the basic mechanics of how guns work. Bullets, firing pins, and gun…

Do you trust the Lord? Trust, or distrust, is displayed in our actions and words. There are times in any relationship where trust is given freely or withheld begrudgingly. We either trust or we don’t the Lord and what we speak and show are proof of that. Psalm 16 is a very personal one where…

Psalm 15 begins with two questions that demand an answer, “Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent? Who may live on your holy mountain?” That “sacred tent” and “holy mountain” were where David longed to be – in heaven and the Lord’s presence for eternity. Because Jesus is the way to heaven (John 14:6),…

I’ve heard it said nobody talks so constantly about God as those who insist that there is no God. I believe that God not only exists, but He is the Creator of heaven and earth and the Father of Jesus Who died on the cross for our sins. I believe all of God’s Word is…

Has the Lord been good to you? David thought so when he wrote those words in Psalm 13:6. How many times has all the good the Lord has done for us been overshadowed by all that’s not going well inside and around us? David calls out to the Lord in his distress. He knew to…
