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...
- Humility
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,...
- Jobs Story
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...
- Golden Rule
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...
- Gods Presence
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...

Finding Grace in Our Struggles
Man, what a day yesterday was! It’s as if the last few days of my writings were preparing me for my own failure and struggles...“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;”James 1:19 I would have loved to have stopped today, meditated on the a...
- Addiction
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...
- Peace
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...
- Faith
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...
- Forgiveness
The Awesome Power of God's Forgiveness
Forgiveness is awesome"I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, 'I will confess my transgressions to the LORD'--and you forgave the guilt of my sin" Psalm 32:5You see, time doesn’t heal all wounds and it certainly won’t cancel all debts. I think we all know by now th...

God Knows You and Loves You Without End
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 discern my thoughts from afar.”Psalms 139:2 He knows how great our imperfections and failings are, and it was for just such a person...
- Forgiveness
Forgiven People Should Be Forgiving People
So, one of you awesome people posted to social media today and said, “Forgiven people should be forgiving people”! Yes!You see, God gave us forgiveness and redemption through His son Jesus, why would we not deliver the same thing to those who hurt us? What makes His forgiveness unconditional and...

You Don't Deserve It, But God Gives It Anyway
I don’t know about you, but I get the “I don’t deserve this...” feeling a lot when I think about what God has done for me and my life. His salvation alone can be bewildering at times. It’s the opinion we have about ourselves and our past or present. You see, we have one set of convictions about o...

Grace to Start Over: A Different Life Beyond Understanding
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...
- Salvation
Knowing You're Saved: It's Not About Performance
Hey, What’s up?Is it presumptuous to fully know you are saved? Absolutely not! It is written throughout the Scripture that God wants you to have the assurance of knowing you are saved so that not only can you be secured in your salvation but assured. But I mean, come on, how do we know, right? Mo...

Living in the House of Grace
“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...
