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...
- Sin Guilt
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...
- Weakness
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...

Standing in Grace: Peace and Endurance
“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...

Born Again to Living Hope Through Christ
Take this into the weekend with you. Wow, just let this sink in this morning...“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that i...
- Kindness
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. Things have not been going my way AT ALL and to add to the crap-o-la, we got hit by the storm and lost a huge tree and power. (We still don’t have any)With that being said, I want to wrap up the week of forgive...

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...
- Mind Renewal
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...

Living a Lifestyle of Quick Forgiveness
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...
