Finding Connection and Healing from Addictive Patterns
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...

Strong in Weakness
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
Did you know you have a gift to share? You do, whether you are aware of it or not you’ve got one. Currently, I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to share my love of flying to fans here at Sun N Fun in Lakeland, FL. More specifically, the kids. The smiles that you get when I make eye contact an...

Release the Poison: The Power of Forgiveness
Last night while we were “Netflix and chillin’”, I was going through some older devotionals and I came across something I wrote or shared a while ago. It’s definitely worth sharing again.“Harboring unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person the die; it’s not hurting the...

Breaking Free From Guilt Through Christ's Forgiveness
So, I spent some time yesterday with a long time friend who after some struggles is looking to the Lord for renewal. When friends come to us, it’s our chance to bear witness to the Grace God has shown us. It’s our chance to share what has so freely and undeservingly been given us...it’s also a ch...

God Knows You - Why Hide From His Perfect Love?
It’s not #throwbackthursday but I was reading last night about this very topic and it reminded me of this one from a year or so ago...God knows you, he made you. So who are trying to kid? Why are we trying to hide from God? He can read our mind... “You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you...

Starting Over: God's Beautiful Plan 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...

The Gift of Presence: Learning from Job's Friends
“"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 and to comfort him. For the first 7 days they sat and wept with him because he was in deep sorrow. “No one sp...

Standing Tall on Our Knees in Thanksgiving
As we start this week of thanksgiving let’s try and focus on just that...“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)...

God's Grace Is Sufficient: Finding Him in Your Struggles
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...

Your Thorn in the Flesh: Understanding God's Purpose
Yesterday I talked about the “thorn” that was placed in Paul’s side or his flesh as it were. You got one of those in you? A thorn is something that seems so small but, in reality, comes to occupy and consume all of our thoughts.Our thorns...these are the financial difficulties that seem to persis...

When Expectations Are Violated: Choose Forgiveness
First, let me apologize for being late a few days this weeks and especially yesterday.

Breaking Free from the Victim Mentality Through Forgiveness
It’s hard to see the news today and not see one faction of our society playing the victim over something. I’m fact, I think we as a society have become victims. It’s like nobody wants to be held responsible for their won actions. It’s like the decision we make doesn’t matter anymore because when...

Forgiveness Isn't About Deserving
The longer I live, the more I get surprised by people. By surprised, I mean hurt. What really sucks is no matter how righteous we think we are, at least for me, I will forgive them but some times hang onto a feeling of, “I forgive you, but you don’t deserve it!” Ever had that thought? You probabl...

Transform Your Mind, Transform Your Life
Our lives are driven by our most strongest thoughts, both positive and negative. “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”Romans 12:2“Finally, brothers, wha...

Don't Let Little Things Ruin Your Day
Isn’t it crazy how we can let the littlest thing someone does to us, intentionally or not, ruin our whole day? Happens to me all the time. Could be anything, a dumb question, solicitor call, unexpected reports or paperwork, you name it. A lot of times, it throws us off so much we can’t wait to te...

Finding Strength Through Weakness in Life's Battles
I had a brutal day yesterday I’m so many ways and one that just breaks my heart. But it got me thinking again to what we’ve been talking about with suffering.

Grace Not Works: The Foundation of True Service
You know, I started talking about “doing good” yesterday and asked that we find the why behind our works. I want to dig a little more and discuss our efforts. You see, far to often people think they can earn their way into Heaven by simply doing good. While that’s nice and all, there will be many...

Ok, I really want to talk about something that has been eating at me for some time...some of my thoughts.

What Is Grace Exactly?
#TBT9/25/19Grace. 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...
