Right after I surrendered my life to Christ, I got a tattoo on my arm that says:
“He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.”
Luke 11:23
I got that because I knew following Jesus wasn’t going to be an easy road. I wanted a permanent reminder that there is no neutral ground with Christ. I’m either standing with Him, living for Him, and helping gather people toward Him — or I’m working against what He is doing.
Those are His words, not mine.
I also got another tattoo that says:
“Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.”
Ephesians 6:10–11
And I can promise you this: when you decide to stand for Christ, opposition will come.
That’s why Paul didn’t tell us to casually believe. He told us to armor up.
And not just with the helmet of salvation.
Everybody wants salvation.
But there’s more armor to put on.
There’s the breastplate of righteousness. Our righteousness comes through Christ, and because we belong to Him, we should desire to live in a way that reflects Him — walking with Him daily and obeying what He has taught us.
Then there are the shoes of the Gospel of peace. We should be ready to go. Ready to tell somebody what Jesus has done. Ready to share the Good News so somebody else can experience the same hope, freedom, and peace that we have found in Him.
Then there’s the shield of faith.
That means trusting God even when we don’t understand what’s happening. Trusting Him when life hurts. Trusting Him when the enemy tries to plant doubt. Trusting Him completely.
Then there’s the belt of truth.
You need to know what is true about Jesus.
You need to know who He is.
You need to know what Scripture says.
Because when the enemy lies to you, fear hits you, doubt comes, or somebody tries to twist the truth, you need something solid to stand on.
And then there’s the Sword of the Spirit — the Word of God.
Remember when Jesus was tempted in the wilderness?
Satan even tried using Scripture against Him.
But Jesus knew the Word.
He knew the truth.
And every time the enemy came at Him, Jesus answered with Scripture.
That should tell us something.
Listen, guys, we are living in a crazy world.
People will challenge your faith. Some will mock it. Some will misunderstand you. Sometimes even other Christians will come against you.
You need to know where you stand.
You need to know what you believe.
You need to know the Word.
And you need to armor up.
Because it’s not a matter of whether opposition comes.
It’s when.
And when it does, my prayer is that we won’t fold, we won’t run, and we won’t compromise.
We’ll stand firm.
We’ll stand our ground.
And when we’ve done everything else…
we’ll still be standing.

FRICTION
I woke up this morning with the words of a scripture verse echoing in my mind … “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another” (Proverbs 27:17). That verse kept on reverberating in my heart and mind as I headed to the park where I take my morning walk. Even as I walked along the trail, praying for the needs of the day, that verse continued to resonate within me. I said within myself, “Is there something I’m not seeing? Is there a deeper meaning I’m not getting? Why did I wake up with that verse on my mind?”

When I got home from my walk, I looked that verse up in the Hebrew and discovered that the word “SHARPEN” is the Hebrew word “CHADAD.” I read the following explanation of that Hebrew word’s meaning: “The term underscores that personal growth in wisdom is neither solitary nor casual; it requires intentional FRICTION inside covenant community….” That word FRICTION leaped off the page at me. FRICTION has a negative connotation to us, doesn’t it? Yet, that is what happens when iron rubs against iron. FRICTION takes place, and that FRICTION is what SHARPENS the blade of a knife or sword for battle.

So when a Christian brother or sister “rubs us the wrong way” and it creates FRICTION, whether we like it or not, it sharpens us. I guess what I’m trying to say is that I always thought "IRON SHARPENS IRON" was a pleasant thing to experience … a place where you get “warm fuzzies” and rose petals come falling down from the clouds. But, iron rubbing up against iron can be abrasive and harsh.

“IRON SHARPENS IRON” is not always shrouded in words of encouragement and warmth. Sometimes, it can happen with a rebuke, through a tense moment when ego is raising its ugly head and has to be corrected. Sometimes, it can happen in a heated discussion. It happens during times of FRICTION. And, when the FRICTION-FILLED moment is over, the conviction of the Holy Spirit reminds us that we still have more maturity to achieve, more patience to acquire, and more pride to be whittled away in our lives. The FRICTION knocks the pride off of us once we see it and we repent of it.

Yes, “IRON SHARPENS IRON” can happen in a Bible Study while we’re sipping on coffee with a Christian brother or sister. But, for true SHARPNESS to be achieved, there’s got to be some FRICTION … and sometimes that comes from hearing something you don’t really want to hear … from a rebuke, or a word of correction … from a moment of tension and conflict. The revelation of who you are in those moments will bring conviction and repentance … and you’ll be SHARPENED as a result.

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

08/27/2026

Have you ever seen someone who seems so close to God that it makes you somewhat envious? It makes you wonder if they have some kind of secret. I remember before I met Christ, I would meet people who were so on fire for Him that it would almost scare me. I’d think, Man, they’re different. They’re legit. I’d wonder what church they attend or what denomination they are.

But then I finally fell in love with Jesus, and I realized it isn’t the denomination (Baptist, Pentecostal, etc.) that saves you. You can go to every church between here and Australia. You can wear a $5,000 suit every week—or a pair of shorts and flip-flops. You can put $16 million in the offering plate—or $20. But none of that is going to save you or change you into what you were created to be. ONLY Jesus Christ can do that. There isn’t some hidden secret, no secret in the clothes, no church has a secret way, and there will not be denominations in heaven, so that isn’t the secret either.

Well, it must be how I get baptized that matters… Well, I’m telling you: if your heart isn’t right, you can get baptized a thousand times, and all you’ve done is take a bath with your clothes on. You see, it’s not any of those things that makes the difference… Your submission to Christ is what makes the difference. Period! You can’t just know about God; heck, Satan knows all about Him. You need to actually have a relationship with Him.

Let me tell you what I’ve been thinking about today… In the 42nd Psalm it says: “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God.” For the most part, Israel isn’t a thriving rainforest; it’s hot, it’s dry, it’s a desert, and you need water nearby if you want to have any chance of survival. And deer know that. Deep, deep down inside, the deer know that if they are to keep going, they must have water, and so they pant after it; they desire it; they want it. When the writer of this psalm wrote this, he knew that if he wanted a life filled with meaning and purpose, he knew where he had to find it… In God. He said his soul pants for God, he desires, he wants, he thirsts after the one true God that can quench his thirst; he desires “living water” from the only source that can provide it. Way, way deep down in every one of us, we ALL desire it. God put the desire there so we would NEVER be completely satisfied UNTIL we drink from the fountain of life.

And the best news I can give you is this…
“If you seek God with all your heart and with all your soul, you will find Him.” (Deuteronomy 4:29)

That’s the secret… Seek Him! It’s so worth it.

Boy!!! Did this one come right out of the blue!!!

I sat down with my paper and pen to write a funny about me ... when God took over.... I mean literaly took over!

All of a sudden ... it was a Sunday night in 2001, Jerry and I were sitting in Blessed Hope Baptist Church in Raymond IL, at the end of an altar call, when a sweet, elderly lady everyone affectionately called "Miss Babe", also a severe stroke victim started crying uncontrollably.

Her family, and the preacher gathered around her as she sobbed and cried harder. I have never witnessed anyone as distraught as she was. Between her cries and verbal disabilitiy, no one knew why she was so upset. It was heartbreaking.

Then all of a sudden ... God took control. It had to be a "God thing" ... the pastor's wife, Miss Diane who was keeling at Miss Babe's knee asked. "Are you afraid you are not saved?" Miss Babe crying, trying to speak, and forcefully nodding her head, wailed louder. She could not remember giving her heart to Jesus when she was a young girl.

Her family started telling her how she had always been a devoted Christian woman, loving the Lord, and had raised her family in church and told them about Jesus from their birth.

Bro. Jim had prayer and she was happy and reassured that she was going to Heaven.

The cries of fear were heartbreaking. I believe in her mind, she was standing on the brink of hell feeling the heat and the devil's hand on her back ready to push.

I think that was the most touching, heartbreaking thing I ever witnessed ...

Then I think of those living their lives in "fun" and sin who I have heard say, "I'll just be a crispy critter and it will be over.' ... "Prop me up beside the jutebox with a can of beer in my hand." or "Put a 6 pack in the casket with me."

What a sad reality is ahead of them. Everlasting, torment , fire that burns .... but never burns out ... forever and ever ... with weeping and wailing and gnashing (griting) of teeth.

But oh what a sweet promise for those who love the Lord. I have not heard, but I'm sure Miss Babe is with Jesus now.

Death is no respecter of persons. It takes the young and the old ... but like the torment in Miss Babe's mind, the writer in Psalm 71:9 says, "Do not cast me away when I am old. Do not forsake me when my strength is failing."

That is a raw, honest prayer for God's presence during the season of physical and mental aging.

Isaiha 46:4 says,

"Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He , I am he who will sustain you and will reassure you."

Amen.

Thank You, Jesus.

GET REAL!
My mother asked me to water her flowers while she was out of town. So, I filled the watering can, then proceeded to water her flowers. She reminded me that there was a plastic plant on the front porch that did not need watering (obviously). I had already watered a couple of plants when I came to one flower pot that had very realistic-looking flowers in it. I was almost fooled, but I recognized that they were imitation flowers. I moved on to the next plant and proceeded to water it. I had already poured a couple quarts of water on it when I realized that it, too, was a plastic plant. I had been fooled! It looked so real ... but it was imitation. It didn’t have any life in it at all. The water I poured on it was completely wasted!

Can you tell the difference between what’s real and what’s artificial? Even though a flower may look real or even feel real, if there’s not any “life” in it, then all the time, energy or money you invest in it is wasted. It won’t grow. It won’t add anything to your life. It’s not REAL.

Have you ever had a dream that you’ve awakened from and it shook you to the core of your being? You couldn’t even go back to sleep for several minutes (or hours) because the horrific things that happened in the dream seemed so real that you were afraid to doze off again. You wake up the next morning and you can’t shake the dream from your mind. It stays with you for hours. You tell other people about the dream using the words, “It seemed so REAL!” But, finally, several hours later, you forget the dream and get on with the reality of your everyday life. After all ... it wasn’t REAL.

One day, you and I will stand before God in Heaven and give account for our life on Earth. In that moment, we will discover what is REALLY REAL. We will find out how much of our time, money and energy on Earth was wasted on things that were artificial and imitation ... things that had no life in them. Those who go on to experience the bliss of Heaven might have a flickering memory of their time on Earth, but it will seem just like a dream. Just for a moment, Heaven’s new residents might even say of Earth, “It seemed so REAL!” but the reality of Heaven will overtake all of the pain, suffering, and discouragement that was experienced in that dream.

Listen ... it may look “real” and it may even feel “real” but if the life you’re living isn’t connected to Jesus (the giver of real life - John 10:10) you’re only experiencing something artificial and imitation here on Earth. It’s time for you to GET REAL!

Our Protector

Psalm 121:1-3

Psalm 121 describes the safety that is found in the Lord. Today let’s look at several verses to better understand our security.

“I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; from where shall my help come? My help comes from the Lord” (vv. 1-2). When this psalm was written, robbers dwelled in the mountains, waiting for innocent travelers to become their unsuspecting victims. Not only that, but wild animals also posed a threat. Needless to say, journeying on these remote hilly roads must have caused anxiety and fear.

Our lives can be like mountainous territory. Do you look to the future and wonder what dangers lurk? The Lord is our helper; He alone is able to protect us, regardless of what lies ahead. Friends and relatives can offer limited assistance, but God knows everything and has all the power necessary to rescue us.

“He will not allow your foot to slip” (v. 3). God has provided everything we need in order to avoid sin. The Holy Spirit directs and empowers us; the Word lights our path so we do not slip. Yet at times, we choose to sin. Almighty God could stop us from disobeying, but He doesn’t interfere with our free will. Instead, He upholds us, enabling us to walk in His way.

These opening verses focus on the Lord’s ability to protect us in treacherous times. Whether trouble originates with others, external circumstances, or our own sin, we can find ourselves in danger and afraid. Thankfully, we have a loving Father who leads us to safety.

Faith Over Fear

1 Kings 18:1-15

Think of faith and obedience as travel companions heading to the same destination—namely, to please and glorify the Lord. You cannot have one without the other. They grow simultaneously as they are practiced but will wither if neglected.

Elijah was a man with both of these qualities. He believed God and always responded in obedience. When told by the Lord to show himself to King Ahab, Elijah didn't permit fear to stop him. He had learned through experience that the Father was faithful and trustworthy.

Fear short-circuits faith when we begin to doubt that God’s way is really best. If we allow worry to gain a foothold in our minds, we’ll respond by refusing to do what the Lord says, which is disobedience. The result will be a change in our “travel plans,” and by rejecting the way of faith and obedience, we’re actually choosing the path of unbelief and sin.

Satan loves our fear and disobedience because they hinder the journey that God has designed for us. We can’t believe the Lord for great things in one area of our life if we are allowing sin in another. Self-examination is essential in the walk of faith. Where have you compromised by allowing sin a foothold? Are you resisting anything God says in His Word?

Great faith begins with small steps. When you choose to follow God’s Word, an ever-increasing cycle of faith and obedience will begin. Don’t let fear or sin rob you of the great adventure He’s planned for your life. Who has a better track record for choosing the right path—you or God? So believe Him!

Crown Jewel of Scriptures

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
—John 3:16

One of the greatest verses in all of the Bible is John 3:16. It gives us the gospel in a nutshell. Let's break it down

"For God so loved . . ."
Many picture God as some kind of "cosmic killjoy" out to ruin our lives. But the reality is that God loves you! He misses you. He wants a relationship with you. Look at the Lord in the garden after Adam's fall, calling, "Adam, where are you?" (Genesis 3:9).

". . . the world . . ."
The world? That includes dictators and criminals. It includes adulterers, cheats, liars, even murderers.

The thief on the cross was probably a murderer or terrorist, but Jesus extended His loving forgiveness to him.
". . . He gave . . ."

We can talk about love all day long, but God demonstrated His love for us in a tangible way. Romans 5:8 says," But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us," and Romans 6:23 tells us that "the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Jesus came to this world not to come down on people, but to reach out to people.

While religion tells us what we must do to reach up to heaven, God reaches down from heaven in sending Jesus and pulling us out of quicksand.

". . . His only begotten Son . . ."
This does not mean "one of many," as in "So-and-so begat So-and-so." A better translation is "His one and only Son" or "the only Son of His kind or class, unique in kind."

". . . that whosoever believes . . ."
To "believe" does not merely mean you intellectually accept something to be true. The Bible says, "Even the demons believe—and tremble!" (James 2:19 NKJV). To believe is to "adhere to, commit to, have faith in, rely upon, trust in." The choice is ours as to what we will do with this wonderful gift of God. We can gladly accept it, or reject it. If someone offers you a gift, you either take it or you don't. You can't say, "I'm neutral on this. I can't decide."

". . . should not perish . . ."
Revelation 20:15 says, "Whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire" (KJV). If you are included in the "whosoever" of John 3:16, you won't be included in the "whosoever" of Revelation 20:15.

". . . but have everlasting life."
Not "hope to have," but "have." It becomes the immediate possession of the child of God. 1 John 5:13 says, "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God" (NKJV).

Jesus will receive and reveal Himself to any person who will come to Him honestly, heart to heart. Jesus said, "He that comes to me I will in no way cast out" (see John 6:37).

CALL ON HIS NAME
During my morning walk today, I said the name “Jesus” in my prayer time. When I said His name, the thought occurred to me that I’ve said that name more than any other name in my whole life. Not my father’s name, my mother’s name, a boss’s name, a friend’s name, my wife or kid’s names … no other name has left my lips more than that one name … JESUS.
As I pondered that thought more deeply, I prayed to the Lord: “Lord, I’ve called on your name for 50 years now! I’ve called on You during good times and bad, through times of plenty and lack, when I’ve been happy and even depressed. I’ve called on Your name more than any other name in my life!” As I prayed those words, a scripture verse I’ve read hundreds of times resounded within my heart: “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13). It was then that I had a “revelation moment.” You see, I’ve always looked at that verse in Romans 10:13 as a “one time event.” In other words, you need only call His name ONE TIME and salvation is yours. I’m not saying that that isn’t true, but I think that verse is saying something more than that.

As I’ve thought back over my lifetime, I’ve called on the name JESUS during times of intense prayer, during times of praise and worship, during life’s troubles, during failures and successes, in the darkness of night and the brightness of noonday. Sometimes, when I haven’t had the words to pray over a situation, all I could do was breathe the name JESUS. I’ve called on HIS NAME in all of life’s situations. It’s been more than just a “one and done” kind of thing. I’m not saying that a heathen person on their deathbed who breathes out the name of Jesus doesn’t get saved. No, I’m not saying that at all, because there’s so much power in that name that it can save the vilest of sinners in a moment’s time. But, what I am saying is that “Calling on the name of the Lord” is a life-long endeavor in a person’s life.

Yes, we need “eternal salvation” for sure, and when we call on His name, He will give us assurance of our eternal salvation. But, we need salvation on a regular basis in our lives. When we’re in danger, when we don’t know what our next steps should be, when we receive a negative report about our health, when creditors are calling us … we need SALVATION in those times … so we CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD … and He brings us through those difficult moments. Salvation comes through calling on the name of the Lord … both our eternal salvation and our daily salvation.

CALL ON HIS NAME TODAY.

Acts 2:21
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Made for Praise

Psalm 100:1-5

Have you ever considered how you treat the Lord? Some people repeatedly lift up prayer requests yet fail to express admiration, praise, and gratitude. When that’s the case, they may be attempting to use the Lord to fulfill their needs and desires without demonstrating love for Him.

In 1 Peter 2:9 it says God created His people to praise Him. Our worries and concerns are of great importance to Him, but He also wants us to come to Him with a worshipful heart, not an attitude of self-centeredness.

When we extol the Lord, our focus shifts to Him. Then we’ll begin to recall His greatness, goodness, mercy, love, and faithfulness. We’re told to praise Him joyfully (Ps. 100:1), continually (Psalm 34:1), corporately (Psalm 108:3), and wholeheartedly (Psalm 111:1). And we even see Paul and Silas praising God in the midst of pain and imprisonment (Acts 16:25).

Take some time today to reflect on God’s mighty work of salvation in your life. Instead of approaching the Lord with a list of requests, simply praise Him for His faithfulness and righteousness. When your heart is full of praise, worries dissipate and you’ll trust God to provide for your needs in His own timing.
