“Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.”Proverbs 10:9 In today's world of sports, it seems that anything done for an advantage is fair game—as long as you don't get caught.As Christians, however, we are held to a higher standard. Our goal s...
reputationAugust 8, 2025
How’s your reputation?“A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold.”Proverbs 22:1 A bad reputation has a ruthless way of catching up to you. And it doesn’t matter if you have a great family, if you are in good health, or if you are flush with cash...
anger-managementJuly 30, 2025
Anyone else run a little hot when things aren’t going our way? Yeah I know, we’re all imperfect, it’s ok, you can admit it. We all do it. In James we are told;“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce th...

prideJune 17, 2025
The Bible tells us that the devil lost everything he had because arrogance took roots in his heart.How many times have we watched this play out in the lives of famous athletes, celebrities and even people we’ve know in our open lives?We need to be careful with our thoughts. Some of them are proud...
givingJune 13, 2025
Let’s continue down this journey of what lies in our heart that is behind our actions. Yesterday we talked about having to lofty opinion our ourselves and how that aligns with God’s views of our actions. Today, I’d like to take this a little further and talk about how we give and why. We live in...
humilityMay 28, 2025
I think at some level we all struggle with pride and have a hard time with humility. I know I do, at certain times more than others. How do you grow in humility? I know of two ways. One of them is hard and the other one sucks. The first and hard one, is to value humility so much that you develop...
identity-in-christMay 27, 2025
Ask yourself this, what is your identity? People mostly answer that question with a title. I’m a mom. I’m a dad. A golfer, racer, vegan, cross fitter, husband or wife...whatever. But that’s not necessarily your identity. It’s regarding the world but what about your identity in Christ? Well, you’r...
life-without-jesusMay 26, 2025
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...
following-jesusMay 22, 2025
“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”Philippians 2:3-4 What are we doing here? What is reading the Bible, prayer, and Christianity all a...
godly-counselMay 13, 2025
As I’ve grown older and I hope wiser, I’ve learned quite a few things that I couldn’t have accepted when I was younger and more stupid. One of the most glaringly things, obvious to me now, is I could never have gotten where I am today both professionally and personally without the help and counse...
following-jesusMay 1, 2025
If we are going to be thankful and live a life of gratitude, He must become number one. “He must increase, but I must decrease."”John 3:30 Work with me a little, what are we doing here? What is reading the Bible, prayer, and Christianity all about? It’s about loving God and others, right? It’s fo...
prideApril 16, 2025
This has been an emotional roller coaster week for me and I’ve had plenty to think about…the reality of life for one, so it got me thinking. How often do you find yourself hating on things? Oh, I do all the time. I hate this traffic, I hate all this rain, I hate this time of year where I make 37...
truth-and-graceApril 15, 2025
So I’ve been reading a little and 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 trut...
repentanceApril 2, 2025
I got to thinking about how life seems to ebb and flow with good times and bad. More specifically, I got to thinking about how we can get stuck in the bad. I’m talking about that “stop the world I just want to get off this ride” feeling. We’ve all had it, I’m on it now, but what do we do to get o...
words-matterApril 1, 2025
So, it’s April Fools’ Day, and as an adult child myself, I look forward to the stupid jokes and fake rumors and “gotchas”. But this date always reminds me of just how fast rumors and words can spread and just how harmful they can be. You see the Bible mentions that in the multitude of words, sin...
patienceMarch 31, 2025
A simple thought to start your week…We live in a world that is going by so fast that finding patience is becoming a lost art. However, one of the best ways to be patient is to carry on with life, knowing God is in control...not you. I will say it one more time, “God is in control, not you.” “Not...
patienceMarch 7, 2025
Let keep talking about listening to God and looking for his answers. “for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”James 1:3-4 Look, I think it’s pretty evident that God sp...
wordsMarch 5, 2025
Let’s talk about the words that come out of our mouths for a moment. I know for sure we’ve talked about it before, but sometimes I need to hear it again for myself. These words we use can be from in person speech to the written word…they can also be from how we respond to someone’s comments as we...
gentlenessFebruary 21, 2025
We always sign off with, “Be Nice. Grace wins”, but have you ever really thought about what I mean? I’m mean other than the obvious, what are we talking about with “Be Nice”? You see, gentleness, politeness and meekness are not weaknesses as the world sees them, but rather strengths exhibited by...
trustFebruary 20, 2025
It’s been a busy week already and it’s only Thursday and I had a good conversation spring up from our morning chats. One of which came up this week about trust. It came up in the context of one of you said, “I can count on and trust you sending the morning devotional.” I’ve had folks tell me this...
judgmentFebruary 19, 2025
“A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.”Proverbs 18:2 How quick do you judge others? How often do you feel misunderstood? I will be honest, I’m guilty of both. Look, no one likes to be misunderstood, yet we often make faulty judgments of people and situatio...
self-controlFebruary 13, 2025
“A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.”Proverbs 25:28 ESVI stumbled across this Proverb and I just had to take pause to think about it, so let’s discuss it. So God gave us free will to do what we want to do. We can eat unhealthy, smoke, drink excessively or...
