Religion and the Gospel

WATCH VIDEOReligion is about you doing for God. The gospel is about what He did for you. Religion is manipulation. It’s giving to get. Christians don’t do so God will love them.

Two Life-Changing Truths:

WATCH VIDEOYour loss gains me nothing and your gain costs me nothing. If it takes you losing, in order for me to gain, I don’t gain anything.

First Responders: Faith, Courage, and God’s Calling to Serve

First Responders: Faith, Courage, and God’s Calling to ServeWhen crisis strikes, there’s a group of people who run toward danger, driven by a calling that goes beyond duty. For first responders, this is more than just a job—it’s a mission rooted in selflessness, sacrifice, and faith. Every day, they reflect Christ’s love by putting others’ needs above their own, facing danger with courage and steadfastness.

To All the Tough Guys:

WATCH VIDEOThere was a guy. He had a tattoo. He said, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil because I am the “baddest” man in the valley.” He had a friend he thought was a little tougher than he was, that was gone in an instant. Then he realized he wasn’t so tough. I am not saying that a man shouldn’t be tough—shouldn’t be strong. I am saying that the only think as weak as a passive man is a prideful one. If we want true strength, we are going to find …

Did you know that if someone hates you…

WATCH VIDEODid you know that if someone hates you, it’s never because of who you are. You can make it hard for people to like you. You can make it very difficult for people to love you, but you can’t make them hate you. Jesus told us to love our enemies.

John 15:20 Remember what I told you: …

Why Do People Who Love Each Other Fight More?

WATCH VIDEOBecause if I love you then I want what is best for you, and I am willing to fight for it. Sometimes we want what is not best for us. If someone loves us, they are going to fight for us. They are going to fight for what is best for us. If someone doesn’t really love us, if they don’t really care, then it doesn’t matter. If I don’t care about you, I don’t want to fight you. I just want peace. I am not going to fight you over what I believe is best for you. I might tell you one time, …

Your Best Defense For Selfish People

Your Best Defense For Selfish People Your best defense for selfish people is love because love never pretends it’s okay for anyone to be selfish. I once thought more selfishness is the answer to selfishness. If you didn’t respect me, I would show you what disrespect was. I thought I was fearless but in reality, fear ruled my life. Now I’m learning only love conquers selfishness. Selfish people don’t even like to be around really loving people. They know they are going to get told the …
