Unbelief

By Dwayne Hicks | December 13, 2021 |

I see things all the time that I don’t believe are true. There are video clips that are made to look real, but they are fake. Some people are so good at deception, that the truth is hard to find. I find truth in God’s Word. It’s hard to know what is true when it’s…

Listen To Jesus

By Dwayne Hicks | December 12, 2021 |

There is a LOT of noise in our world. There are so many sources fighting for my attention. There are advertisings everywhere. It is so easy to get attracted down a “rabbit trail” and then I’m distracted from what is most important to me.  I remember the cartoon from years ago where the guy had…

Deep Faith

By Dwayne Hicks | December 10, 2021 |

I know myself. I know my personal struggles. I know the depth of my faith, or I could say the shallowness of my faith. I have walked with the Lord a long time. I still struggle with doubt at times. I sometimes must pray the prayer of the dad whose son needed healing from Jesus……

With Me

By Dwayne Hicks | December 9, 2021 |

I do enjoy being with people. My wife went on a trip recently to help with our grands out in California and I was home for a few days without her. It was different. I do know how to cook and clean, but it just wasn’t the same without her with me. We mostly do…

Faith & Family

By Dwayne Hicks | December 8, 2021 |

I grew up going to church as a kid. I was introduced to Jesus at a young age. I accepted Christ when I was in third grade at Knifley Elementary school. I was frankly scared of hell more than I was excited about living for Jesus. I wandered a bit from my faith through my…

The Pig Event

By Dwayne Hicks | December 7, 2021 |

I grew up on a small farm where we raised some livestock. We had pigs at one time. They are a messy smelly animal. They like to get down and dirty and they eat nearly anything. My Pappy had around 30 head of pigs at one time. He would raise them to sell. I think…

Recognized

By Dwayne Hicks | December 6, 2021 |

I love our small town where I’m going about my business of pumping fuel or buying groceries and recognize a friend or a neighbor and strike up a conversation or a quick “how are you and your family?”  I dress similar each day with dress slacks and nice shirt with my company logo on the…

Storms

By Dwayne Hicks | December 1, 2021 |

When storm season comes around, I pay close attention to the predictions of the meteorologists. With the help of radar and multiple other tools, the weather professionals can predict with decent accuracy the path of a storm that is headed in my direction. Here in the southeast US where I live, we have hurricanes and…

Kingdom of God

By Dwayne Hicks | November 30, 2021 |

I don’t always stop and reflect upon the size and influence of the Kingdom of God. It’s massive when I think about it. There are followers of God all over the world. I remember as a young man, I realized that when we were meeting together on Sunday, there were millions of other Christ followers…

Mystery Growth

By Dwayne Hicks | November 29, 2021 |

I’m amazed and thankful to the people who farm the land and grow food. My father-in-law grows a big garden each year. I do pitch in and help when he needs my help. He grows corn, green beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, okra, squash and more. It requires a lot of preparation and planning. He sometimes purchases…
