YouTube Welcome!

Welcome to my new YouTube channel! After 20 years of full-time ministry as a Worship Pastor, Music Minister, and Worship Leader, I am starting a new social media ministry on Youtube. This video welcomes visitors and invites them to become part of this community of believers. I would be thrilled to have you join us as we embark on this exciting journey of sharing uplifting, inspiring music and messages.

As a Christian musician, I have a passion for creating music that speaks to the heart, uplifts the soul, and celebrates the love and grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Whether you are a lifelong Christian or just beginning to explore the faith, I believe this channel is for you.

Here, you will find a variety of musical styles, from contemporary worship to gospel to traditional hymns, all with a fresh and modern twist. The music draws from a wide range of influences, including pop, rock, country, bluegrass, soul, and R&B.

But this channel is not just about music. I also share my personal journey of faith, my struggles and triumphs, and my insights into what it has meant to live a life devoted to Christ. I hope that the music and words will inspire and encourage you to draw closer to God.

So, whether you are here for the music or the message, I am excited to have you join us. Please subscribe to this channel and be the first to know when new content drops. Thank you for considering being part of this community. I look forward to growing together in faith and in music with you.

Sing To Jesus Always

Can a song sing the Name of “Jesus” too much? I believe it’s the song we need to sing every day of our lives. What is this life compared to the eternal life we have because of Jesus? 80 years? 120 years? In the scope of eternity, it’s just a brief moment. Let us always sing to Jesus with all our strength and with thanksgiving in our hearts, minds, and souls.



Nehemiah 10 – “Nehemiah said, Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

Psalm 118:14 – “The LORD is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation.”

Romans 8:38-39 – “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

The Wonder of the Cross

Cross of ChristHeavenly Father,
Let me never forget the wonder of the cross.
May its torment and suffering remind me of my injustices and fallen nature
May it be an ever present truth of the relationship I need with You in order to live in faith with my neighbor
May it always point me to the Truth of Your Word and to Your amazing grace
May it always remind me of Your great love
It is the symbol of the finished work of Your salvation and points to Your resurrection and the hope of my eternity with You.
Who was I – without You? Who am I – without You?
I live in the pages of Your story. You thought of me before the foundations of the world. You created me from the dust – and to the dust I will return when Your breath leaves me.
I was nothing and I am nothing – without You. I can do nothing apart from You.
You did everything in the beginning. You provided a way for the lost to be found, for suffering to be healed, for sadness to find joy. Your unfailing love provides hope for the hopeless. All of Man’s past, even this present moment and eternity all focus on our faith at Your work on the cross.
My mere “Thank you!” pales to contribute to the glory You deserve.
Oh Lord, take my life and may my remaining days sing new songs of praise and shine of the wonder of Your cross to bring you glory.

In Jesus Name, Amen!

The Gift of Life

(taken from personal devotion written 08/28/09)

God in His great love and through the majesty of His awesome power created the universe. All creatures in Heaven and Earth and below the Earth are marvelous testimonies to His handiwork. Every atom, every particle of energy that exists is under His control and Will. He wills it and it is so! Of all His creations — Man is His delight. Hallelujah!

Man was made in the form of His image. It was for His pleasure Man was given life to walk and commune with Him. How precious is life to our Heavenly Father! So much so that even death was alien to His initial creation. Adam and Eve were created to be fruitful and multiply — and live. To eat of every tree in the Garden – except one. God loved us so much that He gave us the freedom to choose in life. To our downfall, Man rebels and chooses His own way – a way that leads to death — through sin. God never created sin — or it’s by products; suffering and death. They are created by the choices of Man.

Though sin has limited our lives on this earth, God in His great love for us renews His mercy each day. Every breath, every heartbeat, every moment in our lives is by His amazing grace.
• This day is His gift to us.
• This day is our only opportunity to prove our worship of Him alone.
• This day is our day of salvation.
• This day we are to rejoice and be glad in it.
• This day we are to love Him and our neighbor.
We are “sons of the day.” (1 Thes 5:5)

As we journey through this gift of life these three remain: Faith, Hope, and Love. Love is the greatest. God is love. Our first gift from God is His love.
• He loves us so much to create us from nothing and give us life.
• He loves us so much that He gives us the freedom of choose Him or ourselves in our lives.
• He loves us so much He gives us the Way to be with Him eternally.
• He loves us so much He gave us His only begotten Son, Jesus
Christ, and through Christ we will have life in abundance. We were created to live! Not just in this world, but eternally with our Lord, our Savior, our God, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Our Greatest Expectation

Like a child excited about the return of his father.Before the apostle John concludes His testimony in Revelation, the final book of the Bible, he writes in Chapter 22 verse 21 “20 He who testifies to these things says, “”Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.”

As Christians, no ambition, no goal, no agenda should be desired above the glorious return of our King. It is our constant hope and our greatest expectation. All the work of the gospel is in preparation for this single event. We love one another enough to save each other from not participating in the ultimate reward of His return. It marks the end of earthly sorrows and the coronation of the Holy reign of our Prince of Peace. It heralds our joyous reunion with loved ones who have passed into His glory before us. But above all — our faith shall become sight and we will be in the presence of Jesus, the object of our life-long worship.
