Courage Is Not a Suggestion - It's a Command
I saw a video yesterday of the new Master’s Champion Scottie Scheffler’s interview. When asked if he was nervous or scared going into the last day of the tournament, he responded, “He plays golf to glorify God.” Because of that, he had total peace. “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courage...

Finding Peace When Your World Turns Upside Down
Can we have peace in our hearts when our world is turned upside down?Pretty good question that requires an honest look inward. You see the kind of peace the world give us is pretty sketch at best. It can change on a whim with no notice at all. Happened to me last summer with the cancer diagnosis,...

Seeking God's Peace Over Escaping Our Problems
In my daily prayer with God I’d say the number one thing I ask for is peace. Not much of anything matters to me as much as a sense of peace and serenity that only God can give me. You see, like most everyone, I too have seen some hard times. Heck, I’m sure there may be some more during my earthly...

Gratitude First: Seeing Differently Through Thanksgiving
I read this last night and it bears repeating;“We don’t need to see things differently to be grateful; rather, we must be grateful to see things differently.”Wow, I need to read that. You see, God turns our gratitude into goodness, adds peace to our pain, and provides strength in our struggles. G...

God's Peace Beyond Our Circumstances
So, what causes us to think God’s peace equals perfection on earth? Our expectations. I read where a pastor once said, “If I’m going to live at peace, I’ve got to surrender my expectation of perfection. Peace isn’t found in a place or in a set of circumstances that are problem free.” Amen, huh?Wh...

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...

What a Friend We Have in Jesus - Really Listen
Every once in a while I will stop, take a breath and really listen. What I mean is we live in such a fast paced world and our brains pick up on things that provide stimulus to us an it deciphers what we are hearing or reading without us consciously really reading or hearing it.

Past as Reference, Not Residence: Overcoming Fear
1/18/19So I’ve been thinking lately as I’m coming up on another year on this rock and reflecting on the past, both good and bad. And one of the things I keep coming back to is what and why I feared some of the things I’ve been through and survived and what or why would I fear what’s ahead of me....

Believing vs Faith - Perfect Love Casts Out Fear
So I made the comment yesterday that, “Believing is not Faith”. I’m confident of this and I believe that, while related, they are drastically different. Faith is not believing in God’s goodness only when we are out of the storm; faith is believing in God’s goodness right in the middle of it. The...

The Power of Restraint in Words
So I dipped my toe into a debate with someone who without solicitation started attacking me for my opinions and beliefs. I say, “dipped my toe” because right after thinking what I should say in my defense, I thought better of it. No amount of me “being right” was going to change this persons view...
