Remember When…
This video has kind of taken the world by storm. I think stuff like this happens all of the time but people just play it off as “kids being kids”. As Christians, how do we reverse this trend of our youth? It’s sad that it has gotten this bad. The video is a bit long…

Challenge!
It’s been awhile since I’ve thrown out a challenge so here we go… As I shared with you earlier this week, I was addicted to porn. There are a staggering number of people (men, women, young, and old) that have a very similar addiction. You may be one of them or you may know…

Controlling the Addiction
With almost all addictions, when you give them up, you will likely have urges to go back. Something in your brain tells you that whatever you were addicted to was the correct thing for you and all of a sudden, you remove it from your life. So today I want to talk about how I…

A Single Confession (Part 2)
A couple of months ago I opened up to everyone and shared a little of my past (here). This next week is going to be along those same lines. ======================= A long time ago, my dad told me something that I will never forget. It’s one of those random one-liners that has just stuck with…

Relying On God
I’ve mentioned in the past (quite a few times actually) how important I believe prayer is. So with that, I wanted to share a quick little story about a couple of friends that I met down here in Texas. My friends had been living fairly comfortable lives, they had good jobs, a nice house,…

Decisions, Decisions
My wife and I recently announced that we are moving back to our hometown of Omaha, NE. I think we both assumed that one day we would move back but we just weren’t sure when that would be. So close to the start of this year, we both started praying about it. Those usually simple…

God Changes His Mind
One thing I have always found fascinating is that the God of the universe changes his mind. The all powerful, all knowing God that created you can change his mind. So how are we supposed to know his plan for us if he changes his mind? My answer to that is simply prayer. When you…

God’s Will
Over the past month or so, I asked people to vote on what topic to discuss this week. The winner was “How to know God’s plan.” I think before jumping into this topic, I need to address that God has a plan for everybody. Some people ignore or pick and choose what he is calling…

Reasons Not to Judge
My cousin shared this video with me after reading one of my posts this week. Although a little bit quirky, I thought it was good enough to share. direct link: http://youtu.be/D38S9o_6qnc

Offer a Prayer
It’s been awhile since I’ve done a “Helping Hands” post, so I thought it would be a good time to do one. This entire week has been devoted to judging. Often times we find ourselves judging without even meaning to. As I wrote about yesterday, I think it’s ok to judge an action but not…

Did Jesus Really Tell Us Not To Judge Others?
As I said on Monday, I have been making extreme efforts not to judge anyone or anything lately. I felt like I was becoming very judgmental lately (even if it was just in my mind), and I felt like God was pushing me to take a look at what was happening. For me, I usually go…

Everyone Has Their Own Story
I have three “motto’s” that I try to live by. The one I will be talking about today is that everybody has their own story. This is a big one but is extremely critical for me to remember. It is one of those things that when forgotten about, can lead to very unfortunate events. Going…
