Christ-follower or Christian… Does It Really Matter?

I’ve been surfing the web today, pondering on what it means to be a Christian vs Christ-follower. I used to call myself Christian based entirely on the fact that it was just what I was raised to call myself. When I began my walk with God in more recent years, learning about Him and creating […]

The Epic Power of Prayer

I am a big believer in the power of prayer, confessing God’s Word out loud and coming into agreement with Him, and knowing or expecting He will deliver on His promises. That said, this video an old schoolmate recently published drove that point home. But he did it in a new, inspiring, yet ultimately familiar […]

What’s This Whole “Serve Others” Thang Anyway?

I know… Why the heck do I want to serve others right? I’d rather be served! That’s kind of the mentality most folks find themselves stuck in and our society doesn’t seem to help much.
