The Ultimate Gift of Love

“"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 We see it everywhere, it’s been commercialized, advertised and immortalized by famous athletes and commoners alike. But why shouldn’t it? It’s the single core a...

Nobody Stands Taller Than a Christian on His Knees

“Nobody stands as tall as a Christian on his knees”I love this anonymous quote. It reminds me to spend time on my knees and thank the Lord for all his blessings and forgiveness. I need it. And because I need it (forgiveness), and because he gave it, I am filled with His grace. God has me covered...

Don't Just Rinse - Put in the Work with Christ

I was feeling nostalgic this morning and thought about a topic I know I’ve written about a few times and I went back to some old devotionals and found it. I originally wrote this back in 2019 and I always seem to go back to it, or the subject in my own life. So, as I was washing my race bike on S...

Forgiveness Doesn't Mean Forgetting

You ever heard someone say, “that person’s hurt me so many times there’s no way I could ever forgive them”? I have...I may have thought it a time or two as well. Maybe you have? “Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against...

Stop Gossip, Start Believing the Best in Others

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 Responsibility: Grace Helps Us Bear Our Load

You ever feel like you have such a huge load or responsibility you find yourself ducking them or delegating them to someone else? I certainly do. But getting someone else to do them doesn’t change the fact you’re responsible for them. But when you take up the responsibility that’s in front of you...

Stand Up for the Outcasts

“And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her."”John 8:7 In a world where opinions can go viral minutes after they’re posted, and social media debates go from zero to 100 in a hot second, it’s wise to re...

Quit Driving, Give God the Wheel

“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 situation in my life the way I HAVE IT PLANNED, God...

Strong in Weakness: Embracing God's Sufficient Grace

Hope everyone’s week is off to a great start. I want to shift gears this week by discussing probably my most favorite verse in the Bible;“So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass...

You Have a Gift to Share - Discovering Your Purpose

Did you know you have a gift to share? You do, whether you are aware of it or not you’ve got something to share. I got to reflecting about last weekend and all the different people I took up flying and how excited they were to get to do something they may never otherwise do. I feel so blessed to...

Faith: The Choice That Opens Heaven's Door

We talk about our faith everyday. We lean on our faith to get through everyday. Our faith gives us hope. But what is Faith really?In Hebrews it tells us;“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”Hebrews 11:1 That’s it! It’s believing in something we canno...

Starting Over: Grace for a New Life

One of the things I think about a lot is the grace that God has shown me. Like in the song, “I was blind but now I see..”. But no matter how grateful I am, I still have the moments when I think back on my life to times that make me cringe. I look back and realize no matter how hard I tried, I mad...

God's Love Without End

Almost everyday I like to look back at what I wrote and what we were talking about in the past years. It’s hard to believe I’ve been at this now since 2018. I am still humbled by the fact that you’re still here. Amazing really...so thank you. Anyhow, this is a throwback to two years ago. I rememb...

Living in Grace: Peace Through Justification

“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that s...

When You Don't Know What to Say

Have you ever had a friend share bad news or their struggles with you and you don’t know what to say? Me too…“He who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty.”Job 6:14 In the Bible we are told that during Job’s time of grieving, his three friends came to mourn with him a...

His Grace is Sufficient

In 2 Corinthians 12:9 God says, “my grace is sufficient for you”. I feel like this is a message for us to the answers we seek. What I mean is we pray for God to remove certain things from our lives and sometimes it feels like He’s not answering. But what if He has already answered us with a hidde...

Grace Precedes Peace: God's Riches at Christ's Expense

So I talk about finding peace and serenity a lot. I sign off with “Grace wins” everyday. So I thought we’d talk about the Grace. Grace is, as the acronym states, God’s riches at Christ’s expense. Grace is what opens the door to salvation. And just as grace precedes salvation, grace also always pr...

Stop Hiding: God Sees Through Shame to Grace

So talking about the hiding from our emotions and the “I’m fine” lie, what about when we have wronged God and ourselves? You know what I’m talking about, we’ve failed or been disobedient to God so we hide from him…like he can’t see us. I’ve slid out of sight before because I was ashamed of myself...

Living a Lifestyle of Forgiveness and Peace

Today you may have a specific person in mind that you need to forgive. Some of us have had very painful things happen to us, even a long time ago, that need to be forgiven. Forgiveness is truly freedom for our hearts, and peace for our soul. But aside from being able to forgive and put major issu...

Choosing Compassion When We've Had Enough

You ever just lose it for a moment when you’ve “had enough”? I do sometimes and the worst part is, we usually take it out on the ones we love the most. Thankfully, I am quick to realize when I’ve lost it and I’ve learn to ask for forgiveness. I’m not sure what causes us to lose our compassion oth...

Strength Through Weakness: Serving from Gratitude

There are no shortcuts to fully living for Christ. This is a battle. To return to Proverbs, “Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life” Prayer, worship, meditation, Scripture memory, are all part of nurturing the inner life of our hearts.More than anything else, we must r...

The Plank in Your Own Eye

It sure is easy see the speck in somebody else’s eye. But the plank in our own? What plank? Why do we do that? “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in y...

Speaking Truth Covered in Grace

As you already know if you are on this devotional, I close with “be nice, Grace wins”. I think we all know and hopefully understand the “be nice”, but what about the “Grace wins”?Well, think about our lives and the experiences we have all learned from. Some of us have endured traumatic events in...
