Her Smiles in the Face of Fear
Today, we return to our study in Proverbs 31, and we explore v. 24-25, "She makes linen garments and sells them, And supplies sashes for the merchants. Strength and honor are her clothing; She shall rejoice in time to come." The woman of great strength DOES NOT FEAR the future, she in fact can...
-
Are You Getting Tired?
God wanted my attention. He really did. In 72 hours, two different people had shared Hebrews 12:1-2 with me. The passage says, "Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with...

My Posture Says It All (A Lagniappe Episode)
Carol sit up straight. Carol don’t slouch. Carol sit like a lady! Oh the number of times my posture was corrected as a young person! My mom and teachers wanted me to sit properly - and they often were right. Our posture really matters. It says if we are anticipating or sleepy, participating or...
-
Her Support and Encouragement
Today we turn to Proverbs 31:23, "Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land." The woman of great mental and emotional strength has so many remarkable God-given qualities, but perhaps one of her strongest is how she builds up her family, beginning with her…

Her Fearlessness
How can we truly NOT fear the future? How can we NOT surrender to anxiety and despair? The woman of strength tells us how! She is a woman who does not fear the future because she adheres to TWO critical life principles. Today we continue our study of Proverbs 31, looking especially at verses…

Her Diligence
Join us for our next installment in Proverbs 31!!
-
Her Discipline
The woman of strength in Proverbs 31 is a woman who has priorities, and also the grit to meet the needs of her family and others. The reason ultimately is that she understands the Biblical principle outlined in Colossians 3:23-24, "And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to…

Through the Shadow of Death (A Lagniappe Part Two)
Today we conclude a two-part lagniappe series, closely examining Psalm 23, and Jehovah Ra'ah, Our Good Shepherd. Delivered at Calvary Chapel Old Bridge, NJ, this message explores how the Lord walks us through the valley of the shadow of death, and who helps us to draw deep rest in Him, in green...

Through the Shadow of Death (A Lagniappe Part One)
Today we begin a two-part lagniappe series, closely examining Psalm 23, and Jehovah Ra'ah, Our Good Shepherd. Delivered at Calvary Chapel Old Bridge, NJ, this message explores how the Lord walks us through the valley of the shadow of death, and who helps us to draw deep rest in Him, in green...

A Woman of Strength
Today as we begin our series on Proverbs 31, we learn what makes a woman strong... and it may not be what we'd expect!
-
Left Out? Talked About?
Have you recently been left out of some get together or hangout largely because of your walk with Jesus? Or have people said some pretty awful things about you, because they think you are to fanatical about the things of God? In either case, Jesus calls you BLESSED! That's right. In Luke 6:22 He...
-
Talk to Me
Conflict is just part of living in a fallen world; it is inevitable that you will have some form of conflict, at some point, with various people. But conflict does NOT have divide couples, families, churches or communities, because the Lord Jesus gave us all the tools we need to work through our...
-
Beware: Emotional Divorce (A Lagniappe Episode)
Emotional intimacy is absolutely critical for strong marriages. And yet, I am speaking to more and more young people who are becoming emotionally intimate with their dating partners, only to feel as though they have endured an "emotional divorce" if the relationship does not work out. Even more…

Socials, Streaming, and So Much More: Having a Singular Heart Despite the Distractions
Purity of heart refers not only to God having cleansed our hearts. It's about having a heart with a singular focus, one that is wholly devoted to God and His will. But how? How can we have that focus when life is filled with seemingly endless distractions? Between streaming services, socials, and...

Your Cup Overflows!
It was such a GIFT getting to care for my mama these past few weeks after her serious car accident - and it is so interesting that this week's podcast covers in part what my life was all about this week! After we look at Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, we look at…

Don't Fake It til You Make It!
Today, we embark on the second installment of our series on the Beatitudes, looking at "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted" and "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth" (Matthew 5:4-5). We explore how mourning is not necessarily human sorrow, but rather…

Poor is Richest
Rinse and Repeat embarks on a brand new series - exploring the Beatitudes, the "blessed" statements of Matthew 5, at the beginning of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. In today's episode, we introduce the significance of the beatitudes, as each describes a characteristic of the believer and offers a...

Kitchen Towel Confessions
Some days are just harder than others. Sometimes, some WEEKS are just harder than others. And this recording comes at the tail end of one of those brutal weeks. And as God would have it, I am teaching a verse that I am actually living through - one of my all-time favorite passages in the New...

Rage against the Machine?
The most misunderstood and perhaps most misused principle of all when it comes to how we treat one another... this week on Rinse and Repeat! (RAR2026EP26)
-
People Pleasing (Lagniappe)
Before we resume our One Another Study, I wanted to take a look at an issue that really can deeply affect how we treat one another - our tendency to want to PLEASE people. It is natural to want people to like us. But people-pleasing and the need for other people’s constant approval can quickly...
-
Courage through Change (Lagniappe Part II)
Last time we concluded the program with the question: Is your faith part of who you are, or IS IT who you are? And this week we pick up with the same question. As we are faced with change, we need spiritual weapons for spiritual warfare - and the shield of faith is protection for the battle that…

When It's All Falling Apart (Courage through Change Redux Pt 1)
Imagine that moment when the rug has been pulled out from under your life. Your home is gone. Your family is gone. Life as you know it is just over. This was the situation David faced in Ziklag, when Amalekites had raided his camps, burning down homes and taking families captive. What David faced...
-
I Have a Bone to Pick with You (Don't Do It Part 2)
The kids are screaming, the boss is bellowing, the house is unkept, the bills are piling up - and you have some things to say about it all. At least, that's what I tend to do. My cup-half-empty nature has been a source of sorrow to the people around me, and it is simply sinful because the Bible...
-
Don't Do It! (Part 1)
The Scripture has a LOT to say about what we SHOULD NOT do to one another, and that's why I can't cover them all in just one message! Today's message will cover a commonly misunderstood issue: the matter of NOT JUDGING each other!! In particular, we are looking at Romans 14:13, " Therefore let us...
-
Stir Me Up
God really cares how we look at each other. In fact, He wants us to carefully CONSIDER one another, to look at each other closely - not so that we can criticize or judge one another harshly, but so that we can stir each other up to love and good works (Hebrews 10:24). How can we do that? How can…

Who is My Real Friend? (A Lagniappe Edition)
At a time when the term toxic seems to be thrown around so much - this person is toxic, that relationship is toxic - how can we know who our real friends are? Today on Rinse and Repeat, I revisit a message exploring who our real friends are, based on the deep friendship between David and Jonathan...
-
Stand By Me
Sometimes we desperately need someone to encourage us, someone to be a comfort when we need it most! God tells us so beautifully in 2 Corinthians 1:3-7, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation,...
-
One Mind, Even If We Disagree
The Bible tells us to have the "same mind toward one another," (Romans 12:16) and that mind should be the mind of Christ. But of course, that does not mean that Christians will agree on everything, or that there won't be differences within the body of Christ. But it does mean that the body of...
-
So the Forks Don’t Match and the Floors Aren’t Clean
Showing hospitality really has very LITTLE to do with our houses being clean and fancy, and much more with our hearts being FULL of brotherly love and affection. It about making room at the table for just one more... Join me for this look at biblical hospitality, as we continue our series on "One...
-
Then and Now: I Will Testify (A Lagniappe)
I have spent some time reflecting on the Lord's faithfulness over nearly 30 years (30 years!!!!!!!) of walking with the Lord! I recall instances when He actually protected my life when I should have died!! I recall instances when He gave me grace that I truly did not deserve! And then and now, I...
-
I Can't Bear It!
One of the hardest things to face is conflict in relationships. During conflict, misunderstandings and hurtful actions create a debt of hurt that needs to be repaid. Today, we learn how that debt is best repaid - by handing it over to the Lord Jesus. Turn your Bibles to Colossians 3 as we explore...
-
Eyes Up! Praise First! (A Lagniappe Rdx)
When you are faced with bad news, how do you react? Often we learn more about our faith in times of deep testing than we do when we are comfortable in church or in our Bible studies. Today, we turn to 2 Chronicles 20, where we read how King Jehoshaphat of Judah handled some serious news, and what...
-
That's Fire! That's Gold! (A Lagniappe Edition)
Weak faith is a serious problem for the believer. Jesus explains it when He explains the parable of the sower in Matthew 13:20-21. He says that a person with weak faith becomes shallow, like a seed on stony places... who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no root in...
-
Want to Be Happy?
Jesus explained that the way to be happy is to do this one thing that He did.... And that is to serve His disciples. Today on Rinse and Repeat, we continue our "One Another" series with how we are to serve one another, and how living life for others is the true key to human satisfaction!...
-
Even If They Don’t Deserve It
Do you sometimes struggle with loving other people in the body of Christ? Be honest - maybe you love them because you are commanded to do so, but it is hard, because you really don't like them! The Lord cared very much about how we, as believers, treat one another. So much so, that He gives the...
-
Don't Lose Heart!!! (A Lagniappe)
This week I felt like I was using a ladle to try to save the Titanic. I wish I were exaggerating. But so many of my people are struggling in serious ways, and I spend so much time, feeling like I juggle from encouraging this one, to that one, to this one, and I am really NOT helping anyone. And...
-
Not Just Conquerors
Conquerors in battle fight and win. But Romans 8:37 tells us that we are MORE than conquerors. The great news there is perhaps unexpected. We are MORE than conquerors because the Lord fought on our behalf - the fight against sin, the fight against Satan, and HE WON, once and for all, forever!!...
-
God is FOR You
"If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31b offers us a tremendous hope - a question that is both rhetorical, but also that has an answer. Think about it! No one really can stand against us, if God is for us, and yet there is one who regularly TRIES to do so - the enemy of our souls!…

The Greatest Promise in the Entire Bible
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28 may be the most quoted and perhaps the most misunderstood promise in Scripture, and today we explore its great depth by examining the passage word-for-word....
-
Why God Why? (A Lagniappe Edition)
Why God? Why Me? Why? We may have grappled with these questions at some point in our lives as believers, and we are in good company. Many great men in the Bible have asked the question why. David, Moses, Habakkuk, Job, the disciples, and even Jesus Himself asked the question "Why God?" The real...
-
Our Weakness, His Strength
Have you ever been in so much turmoil you couldn't even pray? You just found yourself screaming, but not necessarily knowing what to even say to God? If we are honest, we may find ourselves in this place more often than we know. The fact is - prayer does not always come easily. We are often...
-
Hold On! Glory is Coming! (Not Worthy to be Compared)
Beloved, are you suffering in some way now or have you recently? Has a friend left you? Is a job gone? Has a life change created turmoil, and you just don't see a way through? Join us as we continue our study in Romans chapter 8 today, as this passage in Romans 8:18 offers us GREAT hope: For I...

Enslaved Person or Child? You Choose!
There is a HUGE difference between living as an enslaved person of a household, and living as a son or a daughter of that household. An enslaved person has the will of the master FORCED upon him. He has no rights, is often mistreated, and is required to do what is commanded of him. Whereas a son…

Run, Don't Walk (A Lagniappe)
While doing a brief cardio workout with weight may make sense, in order to build strength, it certainly would NOT make sense to run a marathon with weights on our hands and legs. In fact, long-distance runners need to run as unencumbered as possible. And the same is true for us as believers. We...
-
Empty to Be Full (A Lagniappe Edition)
Jesus did something we often overlook when He came to earth. He emptied Himself. He emptied Himself of all the rights and privileges of being the Son of God, seated at the right hand of Majesty in Heaven. He remained fully God and fully man, but emptied Himself of the glory of BEING God as He...
-
Grace for Grace, Yes Please! (A Lagniappe Edition)
"You can take him at his word." "You have my word for it." These idioms teach us that a person's word MATTERS, and tells us so much about who they actually are, about their integrity. John 1:14 tells us that, "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." Jesus Christ is the very Word of God, and...
-
Resurrection Power
Did you know that the very same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you and in me? It's true. Romans 8:11 tells us that because of the the Holy Spirit, who raised Jesus from the dead, we have great resurrection power in THIS life, and the one to come. Join me today as we continue our...
-
I Want to Live Like Jack (A Lagniappe Episode)
This week I learned the horrific news that my cousin, Jack Fanous, went home to be with the Lord suddenly and unexpectedly. Jack tirelessly fought for the rights of U.S. Armed Forces Veterans, raising awareness and support for their housing, employment, and mental health needs through his...

A Matter of Life and Death
Do you know the Bible says that you are what you think? It’s true. “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he (Proverbs 23:7a)." Our thoughts are so important that they are even a matter of life and death. Today we continue our series on Romans 8, picking up in this remarkable segment: “For those…

No Condemnation
Imagine being set free, TRULY free, from condemnation? Imagine being set free from all sin - sin in our past, in our present, in our future? We don't have to imagine it, because that is PRECISELY the truth of a believer's life in Christ. We are set free from guilt and shame, set free to "go and…
