P...

Let God Drive: Overcoming Anxiety Through Trust
Are we addressing the real issues in our anxiety over what the future holds? Is our anxiety a product of not knowing what the future holds? I submit to you that we are anxious because WE are trying to control what happens and not truly giving our lives to God to navigate. We may “believe” he has...

Hope in a World of Skepticism and Doubt
Today’s announced Impeachment circus has be thinking. We sure live in a world of skepticism and doubt. I mean just turn on the news, either side, FOX or CNN, they’re all out there.

Walking by Faith Through Life's Storms
So today I’m having surgery for an accident I had racing over the holiday. No big deal, I should be great in a few weeks. But that’s not what today is about. What I want to talk about is faith. Yeah, we talk about it a lot but it is essential we have it. It’s the core of what makes our salvation...

Trust God Without All the Answers
“Sometimes we just have to trust God enough to go even when we don’t have all the answers.” -Tim TebowSo as a UGA fan, I didn’t care for him when he played, but I certainly admire his commitment to the Gospel and believe he’s a faithful servant. To that point, he’s right in what I quoted above an...

Love Believes the Best: Avoiding the Gossip Trap
I don’t know about you but I’ve got to do better at turning off gossip when I hear it. I also need to not “enable it” when I hear it by giving a participatory laugh or, “now way!” It just makes it worse. It seems as if now days we believe the negative stuff about people more than the positive stu...

Taking Every Thought Captive
I had a good long talk with one of you yesterday and we talked about trying to control our thoughts as it pertained to the loss of a loved on and the slippery slope we can find ourselves when we allow negative thoughts and doubt to creep into our minds. It challenges our faith. This got me thinki...

Walking by Faith, Not by Sight
19So we’ve been pounding out gratitude the last two weeks and while it’s always a great topic and one we need to continue to be intentional about, I want to shift gears a little bit. Why? Well, because I want to talk about something else, like faith! Ha! (And I’m in the book of Mark)I’ve been wat...

Grace Explained - God's Free Gift of Righteousness
Grace. What is it exactly? I mean I sign off with,“Grace wins” everyday, but what exactly am I talking about? Well, in the book of Romans, Paul tells us that we can’t receive God’s favor, become righteous, by works alone. Meaning simply obeying the laws of the land wouldn’t get us His favor. So,...

God's Peace vs. The World's Peace
Can we have peace in our hearts when our world is turned upside down?Pretty good question that requires an honest look inward. You see the kind of peace the world give us is pretty sketch at best.

God's Grace Sustains Us Through Every Trial
Let keep talking about Job for a little bit. You see God would only allow Satan to go so far with Job. We would only allow him to endure just what he was capable of enduring. Just like our own struggles and pain, Satan is trying to break you and God is trying to make you using the same situation....

Saved by Grace, Not Works
Ok, so last week we talked about being a good witness for Christ, bearing good fruit and trying to be more like Jesus. All of which we should be doing. However, I think it’s worthy of discussion as to just how these “good works” are viewed. While we may be confident in our work, confidence in our...

Don't Believe in Yourself - Believe in Jesus
I had a great conversation yesterday with one of my friends (and new member to the devotional beginning today) and we were discussing times when we feel like “we got this” and we believe in our own selves and stop relying on God. You see this is caused by or led by Pride, the first sin. Pride tel...
