Overcoming Evil with Good Through Forgiveness

In keeping with forgiveness, nobody ever suggested forgiving would be easy. I certainly didn’t and I’m not saying it is, because it’s not. But God challenges us by giving us the ability to forgive. But at the same time, it is one of the hardest things He asks us to do. But you can learn to forgiv...

Forgive Seven Times: The Path to Inner Peace

1You 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...

Stopping Gossip and 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...

Finding God's Blessings in Ordinary Moments

You ever stopped for a minute and looked around at all the blessings God has bestowed on you? I mean, look we all get excited and share His work when it’s something big like a new job, birth of a child, etc. But do you ever really stop and look around and see how His blessing are everywhere?

His Steadfast Love Endures Forever

“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.”Psalms 136:1 Today will be short and sweet because God Love is simple and pure and easy to talk about. We have so much to celebrate and be grateful for because His love is forever. As believers, we are called to cel...

What Is Grace? God's Most Expensive Gift Given Free

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,...

Salvation by Grace, Not Works

Hope everyone is doing well, I’m a little jet lagged, but otherwise no worse for the wear. Funny, I saw a couple of you at domestic baggage claim about 7 hours ago. Hope you made it home alright. Ok, so last week we talked about being a good witness for Christ, bearing good fruit and trying to be...

Loving Others as God's Masterpieces

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, the clown with no trailer lights going 17 miles an hour in a 4...

Stand Up for Others with Grace

“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...

God Never Leaves You, Even When You 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...

No Condemnation: Your Freedom in Christ

“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh A...

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...

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...

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...

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...
