In our culture there is a big game that happens every year between the two top teams in the NFL.  Super Bowl Sunday is a pretty big event and hard to miss if you live in the USA. The media hype is non-stop for days and weeks before. The players are interviewed and then interviewed…

Listen & Live

By Dwayne Hicks | February 2, 2014 |

I’m becoming a bit hard of hearing, as I get older. I think it may have something to do with the volume of my music over the years. I think the generations of young people who are growing up with headphones in their ears are going to be in the same boat as me in…

Angels

By Dwayne Hicks | February 1, 2014 |

I’ve seen kids who acted like angels and I’ve seen kids who act like the devils angels. I’ve always been fascinated with the subject of angels. These beings in scripture are mostly messengers and agents of God Himself. When I see pictures of angels, they almost always have wings and a halo. I’m not sure…

A Great Crowd

By Dwayne Hicks | January 31, 2014 |

I’ve been to ballgames in lots of different sports. I’m a college basketball fan and I especially love the boys in blue from University of Kentucky. For several years a good friend of mine would get me tickets to the Georgia-Kentucky game in Athens, GA. I love a good college basketball game. I remember the…

Rock Solid Faith

By Dwayne Hicks | January 30, 2014 |

Faith is everywhere. It is defined as “complete trust or confidence in someone or something.”  I believe it takes faith to ride an elevator. It takes faith to ride an airplane. It definitely takes faith to ride in a car with some people! Faith is pretty much a part of my DNA. I believe God…

The second time I coached I was coaching my oldest son.  I must say that I really enjoyed coaching. It was extremely fulfilling and rewarding. It could also…

Access

By Dwayne Hicks | January 28, 2014 |

This word means “the process of approaching or entering a place”. For example, a stairway gives access to the upper or lower level. The word access also means “the right to use or benefit from something”.  An example of this might be access to a computer system for the bank where my money is kept.…

New Agreement

By Dwayne Hicks | January 27, 2014 |

I make agreements all the time with people. I might agree to do something for my wife and children. I might agree to help out a co-worker, client or customer. When I make agreements, I usually check my schedule to make sure I can keep the agreement. I usually know if it’s going to costs…

Perfect

By Dwayne Hicks | January 26, 2014 |

This word carries some pretty big expectations with it. It means complete accuracy, free from any flaw or defect. Perfect means complete. Jesus Christ was PERFECT in every way as the Son of God. He did not have a weakness that the enemy could exploit. He was perfectly suited for what He came to do.…

Press On!

By Dwayne Hicks | January 25, 2014 |

There are times when I want to throw in the towel and quit. I want to give up on something or someone. There are times when I must stand down. However, there are way more times when I must press on and NOT quit. Even when life gets hard and somewhat overwhelming, I must press…
