October 21, 2019
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...
mind-renewalOctober 16, 2019
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...
faithOctober 11, 2019
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...
gods-presenceOctober 4, 2019
19This has been a great week for me, and I hope you too, for digging deep into God’s word and focusing on being intentional about my gratitude. I feel like we have had some great discussions about when and where God is in good times and in bad. But there’s a little something more I’d like to talk...
graceSeptember 25, 2019
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,...
peaceSeptember 13, 2019
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. It can change on a whim with no notice at all. Happen to me three weeks ago, may have happened to yo...
spiritual-growthSeptember 11, 2019
So here’s a question for you. Are you living in growth mode with your relationship with Christ? What I mean is, are you actively reading, meditating and growing your relationship with God?Let’s be honest, none of are going truly going to “get there” with our relationship until we meet Jesus face...
jobs-storySeptember 4, 2019
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....
kindnessAugust 29, 2019
So, I guess some of you are wondering what was going on yesterday when I closed with “be nice”? Well, the deal is, Dr. Sam Mathews spoke at my father’s service and talked about what being nice is all about. I will try and paraphrase and share the best I can...You see, Dr. Mathews explained to us...
graceAugust 19, 2019
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...
faithAugust 8, 2019
As I sit here watching the sun come up this morning, I can help but marvel at the beauty God has made. How do I know he made it? Well, I have faith that he did. It’s the same faith that I have in Him that allows me to grow closer to Him. You see, developing a love for God is a little more challen...
prideJuly 25, 2019
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...
surrenderJuly 12, 2019
I want to wrap up this week by simply saying, “Quit driving, give God have the wheel!”Look, I’ve talked about this many times before, but God continues to show me time and time again that He is in control, not me. No matter how many times I pray for something to happen or I try and drive a situat...
wisdomJuly 2, 2019
Alright, so you are probably asking yourself, after yesterday’s message, “how exactly am I supposed to stay rejoicing during these hard times?” Well, I hear you and I get it. James is telling us to rejoice during our times of struggle because this faith produces perseverance. The Bible teaches us...
faithJune 19, 2019
So will we always see the result of the work we’ve done by witnessing to others and being there when they need us the most? Most certainly not. But that shouldn’t discourage us from being there and sharing the Gospel. You see, we never really know how God is using us, we just need to have faith t...
faithJune 12, 2019
What are you waiting for? I’ve been thinking about this simple question for over a week now. You see, one of us has been given a great opportunity to change the direction of their life and career by making some big changes and trusting God to lead the way. I’m super excited for him too, God’s got...
gods-faithfulnessJune 10, 2019
So in Romans 8, we are told, “if God is for us, who can be against us?” What an incredibly comforting promise from the living God, especially in the troubled times in which we are living. But God requires from us two things in return: they are faithfulness and obedience. You see, He is a jealous...
perseveranceMay 30, 2019
One of the great things I love about sport, and in my case Motocross, is the parallels I can draw from it that relate to my life and more important my faith. pAs I am packing to leave for Florida in the morning I am overcome with anxiety and excitement! This is the chance to punch a ticket to “Th...
resilienceMay 6, 2019
“Last night I took an L, but tonight I bounce back!” -Big Sean 😂😂Ok, I started this weeks devotional with this Hip Hop lyric mostly to be funny...but, it’s a great jumping off point. How fast do you bounce back after an “L” (loss)?One of the great tragedies in modern-day Christians is that we a...
fearApril 29, 2019
I’m sure I’m like the rest of us when I say I’m bad about fear and worry. No matter how much I KNOW my life is in Gods hands and he always provides, I still get caught in worry. When that happens, I think we are not necessarily driving God away, but we are certainly keeping him at bay. “There is...
salvationApril 2, 2019
“"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”John 3:16 So this morning’s verse on my phone popped up and it was John 3:16. We see it everywhere, it’s been commercialized, advertised and immortalized by famous athlet...
prayerMarch 27, 2019
So I’ve been reading thinking about prayer and when God is listening. Does he take a break from listening? Naw, he’s always there...But how do we react when God is silent? You see, God uses silence to draw out faith. Great faith!When God is silent, do we listen to voices that question our right t...
faith-journeyMarch 18, 2019
One of the great things I love about racing motocross is the incredible amount of personal dialogue. I mean I literally go through every emotion I think in a weekend of racing. Fear, pain, excitement, anger, joy, hope and doubt. But what’s always great is because of these emotions, high or low, i...
hopeMarch 6, 2019
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. As I like to say, “What this world needs is some Jesus!” People just don’t believe in much of anything anymore. They mock it all. All social institutions are viewed as in...
