Life Without Jesus and Grace in Relationships
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...

Justified by Faith: Getting Right with God
I’ve been thinking the last couple of days about the journey we have been on together and some of the topics I chase down a rabbit hole. Not that I think they’re necessarily bad topics or irrelevant, I just think it’s good to get back to center. Level set, if you will. So, with that being said, I...

Forgiveness Without Limits
Taking forgiveness into the weekend I just want to say, forgiveness is not easy. But no matter how many times a person hurts you, you got to forgive them without limit. I know, I get it, but we have to. To forgive doesn’t mean to forget. You don’t have to reconcile with the person that wronged yo...

The Freedom That Forgiveness Brings
One of my most favorite topics to discuss is forgiveness. If you’ve been in this devotional journey with me for the last year and a half, you know I like to talk about it. But why you may ask? Well, it’s forgiveness that has given us the hope for an eternal life with our maker and it’s forgivenes...

Balancing Truth and Grace Like Jesus
So I’ve been diving into the idea of Truth and Grace as it pertains to us and how we may identify with one or the other. Let me explain. “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”John 1:14 So truth...

Learning to Forgive Gets Easier with Practice
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 But Don't Forget - Finding Inner Peace
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...

Love Believes the Best: Avoiding the Gossip Trap
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...

God Gives Grace to the Humble
How humble do you think you are? Are you prideful and boastful? I ask because God is close to the humble and broken hearted. No one is perfect. We all have sinned. But what makes us beloved to God is our willingness to accept our sinful condition and return to Him. You see, David was a man after...

Grace Explained - God's Free Gift of Righteousness
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,...

God's Grace Sustains Us Through Every Trial
Let keep talking about Job for a little bit. You see God would only allow Satan to go so far with Job. We would only allow him to endure just what he was capable of enduring. Just like our own struggles and pain, Satan is trying to break you and God is trying to make you using the same situation....

Saved by Grace, Not Works
Ok, so last 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...

Don't Believe in Yourself - Believe in Jesus
I had a great conversation yesterday with one of my friends (and new member to the devotional beginning today) and we were discussing times when we feel like “we got this” and we believe in our own selves and stop relying on God. You see this is caused by or led by Pride, the first sin. Pride tel...

Loving the Difficult: Seeing 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...

Grace Over Judgment: Standing 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...

God Never Leaves You
I’m back! Sorry I missed yesterday but I was traveling back home. 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...

Breaking Free from Addictive Patterns Through God's Grace
I’m feeling it today! 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. Ou...

Finding Peace in the Journey, Not the Destination
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."”John 16:33 It’s the end of the quarter and I found myself slipping in and out what I call my “peace” or “serenity” yesterday. It gave me pause to th...

Embracing Weakness: When You Don't Know That You Don't Know
Hope everyone had a great weekend!I’ve thought about this all weekend and I wanted to start 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 mess...

You Have a Gift to Share - Stewarding God's Grace
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...

Racing for God: Finding Your Mission Field
As many of you know, I’ve been racing motocross for quite some time. While there certainly isn’t any financial gain to the sport, extreme risk, I am certain that God has blessed me with this opportunity for His good as well as mine. Just like David says in Psalm 138, I know the Lord has a purpose...

God Uses Your Past: From Weakness to Strength
So, today I was asked by one our members on this devotional if I was “hung up on the past”? My response was that I was quite the opposite. You see my past, good, bad or indifferent, has helped shape the person God has made me today. It’s is MY testimony, it’s MY story. I firmly believe that God u...

What Is Faith Really?
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...
