Share Your Peace - Your Testimony Matters
So pay close attention to what I’m about to tell you. That peace that God has blessed you with that is getting you through or has gotten you though tough times, well it’s not just for you. Yep, it’s true. As a good friend on mine told many many years ago, “if you want to keep it, you gotta share...

God's Peace vs. The World's Peace
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. Happen to me three weeks ago, may have happened to yo...

Finding Peace in Life's Darkest Moments
So yesterday we remembered one of the most tragic days in the history of the US. I say that for those alive when it occurred, we will never forget. But think about how you felt then and how you feel today. The event, while still tragic and heartbreaking, with time has become easier to take. That’...

Handing Over Our Worries to God
I was nauseous as I drove to the visitation tonight for my dad’s passing. All day long leading up to the time I needed to go I was feeling pretty calm, like “I got this...” Then the time came to actually go. With an admittedly sheepish prayer for strength I drove to the funeral home. To my amazem...

God's Peace That Surpasses All Understanding
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...

Mastering Non-Anxious Presence Like Jesus
So I’ve been reading and writing about “finding peace” of and on for a year now. To me, it is one of the most essential parts of my relationship with Christ. My vision of Jesus, in part, is peace. But I have learned recently about a phrase that young students in seminary school are taught and tha...
- 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...
- Forgiveness
Choose Love Over Vengeance
Watching the news, scrolling through social media or just taking an watchful eye on what goes on around us, I can’t help but notice that it seems like everyone is out for vengeance. It’s ridiculous honestly. We have talked repeatedly about forgiveness and it’s a HUGE topic with me as it is the es...
- Fear
Perfect Love Casts Out Fear
I’m sure I’m like the rest of us when I say I’m bad about fear and worry. No matter how much I KNOW my life is in Gods hands and he always provides, I still get caught in worry. When that happens, I think we are not necessarily driving God away, but we are certainly keeping him at bay. “There is...
- Courage
Be Strong and Courageous: God's Command, Not Suggestion
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."”Joshua 1:9 Hearing that you should be strong and courageous is a lofty notion. It’s a pretty idea. It’s something nice to hear. But God steps up H...
- Restraint
Better Left Unspoken: The Wisdom of Restraint
I got to thinking over the last week how some things are better left unspoken; don’t give them airtime. In other words, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all...right? Proverbs 10:19 “In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is wise”.Some th...
- Forgiveness
Freedom Through Forgiveness
Hope everyone had a great weekend! So, last night while my wife was watching The Oscars, 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 oth...

Finding Peace Before Speaking: A Heart Change
I’m keeping with yesterday’s theme, how many times have you “let it fly” with your tongue and emotions raging because of what we felt were unjustified wrongs done against us, and before we could bring those emotions to Christ, we let them fly. If this sounds familiar, believe me, we all have had...
- Justification
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...
- Overcoming Fear
Don't Live in the Rear-View Mirror
So I’ve have a wonderful 50th birthday and I’ve spent quite a bit of time reflecting on my 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. But fear is o...
- Faith
Overcoming Fear Through Faith and Fellowship
We’ve talked about having Faith for the past couple of days now and I’d like to close the week by wrapping up how we exercise that Faith in overcoming our troubles and fears through fellowship with others. When was the last time you shared your fears and struggles with a close friends? You see, w...
- Faith Vs Belief
Faith Beyond Belief
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...
- Anxiety
Trusting God with Your Future
Are we addressing the real issues in our anxiety over what the future holds? Is our anxiety a product of not knowing what the future holds? I submit to you that we are anxious because WE are trying to control what happens and not truly giving our lives to God to navigate. We may “believe” he has...

Never Walk Alone: God's Promise Against Loneliness
18Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you."--Deuteronomy, -31:6, -You know, today I was thinking about what I fear and one of the fears was loneliness. I dont think anyone wants to be lonely....

Don't Let Fear Defeat God's Plan for You
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”John 10:10 Friends, if you don’t look at fear as your enemy, it will defeat you. Fear doesn’t stay where it begins. Fear will infiltrate every area of your life, paralyzing you until you li...

So, continuing with the theme of facing fear and failure...One of the best things you can learn to do when you’re afraid is look for help. Even more so, give it over to God, and He will help you.All our fear and worries can get pretty heavy. You can’t carry your worries around. They’ll get heavy....

Overcoming Fear with God's Power and Love
We all have fears, fears of failure, injury, death, etc. But is it really healthy? What purpose does it serve, really...Fear serves one—and only one—purpose: to keep you alive. It’s nothing more than a survival response.Here’s what that means. If you’re in the woods and you run across a massive b...

Facing Fears with the Good Shepherd
I’m sorry for missing last week but I was out of town and had zero internet and data...It was wonderful! So, I went back to Race the Winter Nationals, 2nd largest Amateur Race in the US, where I was seriously injured a year ago. I had to face my fears and “get back on that horse”...How do I go ba...

From Anxiety to Faith: Finding Peace in God's Hands
Man, I’ve gotten a lot out of this weeks word and I hopeYou have two, I’ve needed it. It’s helped me take time from worry and refocus my attention in the word (writing this devotional every day was huge) and things of Gods truths. It’s been a roller coaster of anxiety but I feel better that it’s...
