IAMFORGIVEN – What does it mean?

IAMFORGIVEN – What does it mean? What does that even mean? What am I forgiven of… and who forgave me? I was hoping you would ask. In 2009, I started IAMFORGIVEN because the fact that I am forgiven has been a complete game-changer for me. Forgiveness has literally saved and changed my life. And if…

Where have all the godly MEN gone?

It seems that people are getting married a lot later in life these days. I am constantly talking with people about life, dating, marriage and being single. Most in their 20’s and 30’s and I have began to ask the questions of why? Why are so many people not taking the plunge into the covenant…

Singleness, the unbearable sin.

Singleness, the unbearable sin. I have been lucky enough to experience 37 years on this earth. Most of that life has been single. When I was 19, I fully committed my life to Jesus and decided that I wasn’t going to waste my time pouring into something that was only going to gratify my sexual…

Loving Jesus VS Being a Christian

I woke up with this on my mind and it really was a message to me. But I decided to write it because I know it will impact many others that call themselves Christians. When I was 13 I gave my life to Jesus and started to call myself a Christian. I would pick up…

Unrealistic Marriage Expectations

At the age of 18 I was engaged to a woman whom I thought I was going to marry. I had it all figured out and was the master of marriage; so I thought. What I have learned over the years from my relationships and from watching others, is how far off I was when…

His name was James

It was my last day in Chicago and we wanted to go down to see this thing called the BEAN. This huge weird shaped reflective piece of art in the middle of downtown. As we walked up to where it was there was this really happy homeless guy that wanted to talk to us. I…

What would you tell them?

It’s amazing what happens when you open yourself up to be available to God! We had just pulled up to a village out in Malawi to do a medical clinic and to pray for anybody in that area that needed help. We brought a medical student to them, which for the village people it is…
