April 24, 2019
So far this week we’ve talked about what God did for us by sending his one and only son to die for our sins. We’ve talked about loving God passionately and loving others selflessly. But how do we really share the Gospel? By staying on a mission! Now you and I know about God’s grace and the salvat...
purposeApril 1, 2019
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...
perseveranceMarch 4, 2019
This weekend, the promoters decided to throw out a test/moto that cost me the OA win on Saturday. While it affected me negatively, and was a huge bummer, it helped some. But I laid it on God to right my heart and he did. I’ve made the decision to stop wasting time with things that keep me from be...
purposeFebruary 26, 2019
Let’s shift gears a little and talk about where we are going? This time next year, where do you want to be? Who do you want to be? What type of follower of Christ, spouse or parent do you want to be? Whatever the answers are to those questions, know this: God’s calling you to live in the NOW & st...
gods-loveFebruary 7, 2019
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...
graceFebruary 5, 2019
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...
speechJanuary 30, 2019
“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;”James 1:19 I’ve been thinking about this verse for a few days now and I think it’s time to discuss it. You see, I fail miserably with all of the above. I know HOW I should behave, I just struggle to...
gods-planJanuary 28, 2019
“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”Jeremiah 29:11 Friends, read it again,Over and over...it never gets old. For that reason, I won’t stop writing about it. You see, God has a plan for us, it’s for good and...
overcoming-fearJanuary 18, 2019
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...
giving-gloryJanuary 8, 2019
So as I sit here in the airport this morning, I can’t help but reflect on a couple of things I saw last night as I watched Clemson win a National Championship. I saw two men giving the glory to God and bearing witness on the biggest stage in college football, The National Championship game!First,...
fearDecember 13, 2018
“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...
identityDecember 10, 2018
You ever wonder if you’re being who God wants you to be or who others think you should be?“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”Galatians 1:10 Maybe you are worried about what o...
comparisonNovember 30, 2018
We live in a competitive world and it’s easy to fall into what I call the “comparison trap”. We all get caught in it sometimes, some more than others. Admittedly, I fall into it a lot. Wanting what others have is the ultimate thief of joy and will leave you in utter disappointment with your life....
gods-planNovember 9, 2018
“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the eart...
sharing-gospelNovember 6, 2018
So, I’ve been thinking today about how I am sharing God’s message and if it is reaching those who need it and what people are doing with what I am sending...Paul didn't know how the people in Corinth would respond to the Gospel, but his purpose was clear. He had the opportunity to share Jesus. Ho...
trustOctober 18, 2018
“Good Lord willing ________”How many times have we heard this saying as response to questions about our plans we have for our lives? I’ve heard it a lot! I’ve said it! I suppose it’s meant to express our beliefs that we believe and trust that if ______ is God’s will then it will be. But are we pr...
trustOctober 16, 2018
How are we doing waiting on God’s Plan for us? “Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!”Psalms 27:14 You know, when we go for the instant gratification, we give up so much. We give up what’s important for the immediate. So many of us are just like that! W...
humility-characterOctober 5, 2018
Chew on this over the weekend...“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”Galatians 1:10 How many of us fall guilty of this? My hand is raised! This hit me right square in the face...
purpose-callingSeptember 27, 2018
Day 6God’s Plan for our life is unfolding before us but often times it’s not visible to us. Most of the time I would say it’s happening so slowly that I’m not sure if it’s happening. But then, when I least expect it and through no effort of my own, God reveals pieces of his plan to me. The things...
purpose-callingSeptember 26, 2018
Day 5I want to stay on “God’s Plan” for another day or so...We’ve all heard the many euphemisms; Things happen for a reason; They are what they are; blah, blah, blah...But do we really believe it and what does it mean to live by faith trusting God’s Plan?Well, to me, it means not taking yourself...
purpose-callingSeptember 25, 2018
!!Day 4 Sorry I missed Monday...racing can be exhausting sometimes. So I’m listening to the radio and I keep hearing Drake’s hit song “God’s Plan”. I can’t really follow the lyrics but the chorus got me thinking about exactly what is “God’s Plan” for us?In Jeremiah 29:11 God tells us, “For I know...
purpose-callingSeptember 19, 2018
My Friends,So I’ve been asked to try and carry on a morning text-devotional that many of you expressed to me you enjoyed and it helped you start out the day and gave you something to look forward to. I am excited to try and share God’s word with you but worried at the same time I may fail. But it...
