Forgiveness: The Key to Freedom from Bitterness
As we ease into the weekend, I want to talk about something that caused me some restlessness last night. Forgiveness. You see, I had something come up yesterday where somebody has decided to not take responsibility for something they did to me. A random person, whom I don’t know, has decided not...

Taking Responsibility Instead of Passing the Buck
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...

Love Believes 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...

Stand Up with Grace, Not Stones
“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...

Stop the Hypocrisy: Living What We Believe
Ya’ll know I tend to write what is on my heart. It’s what helps me drive the content I send each morning. Well, last night walking the dogs, I got frustrated and said something pretty “off color” and it really bothered me. You ever stopped and thought about why so many people often quit going to...

God's Presence Remains Even When We Sin
You ever get the feeling sometimes that when we sin, that God has left you? Like the feeling you had when you were a kid and you got in trouble with your parents and they punished you and during that moment you felt like they have left you? I have for sure. But the thing is, that feeling that our...

Let Go and Let God Have the Wheel
I want to wrap up this week by simply saying, “Quit driving, let 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 situati...

Breaking Free: Finding Connection Beyond Addiction
Look, I get it, we all need to feel a reconnection with God and with people after we have done something wrong or been through a difficult circumstance. But if we don’t find that bond, we will try and comfort ourselves with something else, anything else, to numb the pain. Our addictions are norma...

If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.”Revelation 3:20 One of the most powerful things we need to understand as we Follow Jesus is how much God loves us, He isn't interested in some religious exc...

Working Hard Because We Got Grace
We can learn a lot from Paul...“For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, bu...

Grace: The Most Expensive Gift Given Freely
(That’s a lot of 2s)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 ge...

Compassion in a Divided World: Loving Those Who Oppose
So I’ve been thinking about what is really means to have compassion. I pray nightly that God lays compassion on my heart towards others...specifically those who oppose me. It’s hard these days with so many labels, differences of opinion, lifestyles, etc. to always connect with people. Take the po...

Grace Not Works: The Foundation of Our Salvation
Ok, so this 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...

Loving Others: Seeing God's Image in Everyone
So, I’ve been reading and writing about how we need to try and live like Jesus would etc. As kids we were taught the Golden Rule (Jesus’ rule) threat others the way we want to be treated. Great idea, not so easy to do. Just yesterday, this clown with Florida tags in a crossover, going 60 miles an...

Finding Peace in the Journey of Trials
I had a great time at lunch with one of the member of our group yesterday and we got to talk about this devotional, keeping it going through my treatments and what I got out of it. Well, in short I just had to keep moving forward. Getting this out gave me purpose each morning to get up and not gi...

Embracing Weakness to Find God's Strength
Without a doubt, this is one of my favorite verses 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 me, to keep me from becoming conceited. Three times I pleaded with the...

Everyone Has a Gift to Share
Did you know you have a gift to share? You do, whether you are aware of it or not you’ve got one. Some times these gifts may not internal knowledge or a skill you share. Many times is as simple as sharing a gift God has blessed you with. Maybe it’s a ride for a friend when their car is broken dow...

Strength in Weakness: When Grace is Enough
Good morning, the treatments are in full effect right now and I’m pretty weak. I find myself crying out to make it go away but I can’t help but to think of Paul and his thorns. And because of it, sometimes scripture is enough. “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is m...

Your True Identity: Adopted Son, Forever Daughter
Welcome to November!Ask yourself this, what is your identity? People mostly answer that question with a title. I’m a mom. I’m a dad. A golfer, racer, vegan, cross fitter, husband or wife...whatever. But that’s not necessarily your identity. It’s regarding the world but what about your identity in...

What Would Life Look Like Without Jesus?
What would your life look like without Jesus? I don’t know if you think about that, but I think about it often. I cringe at the thought of what my life would be without Jesus. I’m sure my heart would be cold because I felt it headed that way when I met Christ. I’d probably be pretty lonely. I may...

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...
