God's Plans Are Here and Now
Just sit tight for a minute, this probably isn’t going where you think it’s going. “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 ESVHow many times you heard this when your going through “your season”? P...

Moving Forward on Faith Alone
I decided to go down memory lane and read through some old devotionals I have written after a nice conversation about these I had at lunch yesterday. Hard to believe it’s be since Summer of 2018…“Sometimes we just have to trust God enough to go even when we don’t have all the answers.” -Tim Tebow...

God's No Is For Your Good
When we talk about our struggles and how we are just trying to get through “it” aren’t we really just talking about how we are to deal with God’s NO? I mean think about most of the disappointments you’ve experienced. Probably the one thing they all had in common is they didn’t fit into your plan...

Finding God's Purpose in Life's Heavy Burdens
Let keep digging into 2 Corinthians;“For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us...

Share the Cure
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...

Why Does God Allow Bad Things to Happen?
I see a lot of post and stories in the media (that which I allow myself to see) and people seem, generally speaking, so mad and angry. We protest everything for Pete’s sake. Many times I see them questioning God or if there even is one! Why do we sometimes get frustrated or angry with God? Let’s...

Stop Wasting Time - Write Your Epic Story
I’ve had a lot time lately (and the last two years) to think about my life, where I am, who I am and what my time is worth. I’ve made the decision to stop wasting time with things that keep me from being who and what God’s calling me to be, it’s just exhausting...and you shouldn’t either. Don’t l...

Starting Over: Grace for a New Life
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...

There's Got to Be More: Finding God in Our Longings
Hey, you ever get that feeling like there is something more? That you are chasing something in life that won’t fully satisfy you? I have. Pay close attention to that feeling though, it’s from God. We see people everyday who seem to be “put together”. People that have a lot of seat time in church...

Overcoming Fear and Looking Forward
23So, I’m talking to one of my flying buddies on the phone yesterday and we were discussing our faith and how we rely on it when we are faced with fear. After we talked I pondered on our chat for a while and one of the things I kept coming back to is what and why I feared some of the things I’ve...

Stop Measuring Your Worth by Social Media Likes
I’m sure I’m not the only one who plays on social media in this group. It’s ok, I’m sure we’re not alone either. But there’s a catch; why are we playing on social media? Is it to see what our friends and families are up to? Maybe, sure. Is it to let the world know how put together we are? Ha, pos...

Being Who God Wants You to Be
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...

Money Can't Buy Happiness, But Management Can
23Let’s talk about money and happiness for a minute. It seems these days our society is trying to convince us that having more will bring us happiness. “No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. Yo...

His Grace is Sufficient
In 2 Corinthians 12:9 God says, “my grace is sufficient for you”. I feel like this is a message for us to the answers we seek. What I mean is we pray for God to remove certain things from our lives and sometimes it feels like He’s not answering. But what if He has already answered us with a hidde...

Finding Security in an Uncertain World
Look, most of us have large expectations for our life and what it’s going to looks like. What it looks like for each of us varies as much as the differences in each of us. That’s ok. Whatever our ambitions, most of us have at least some idea of what our futures might hold.All well and good. But t...

When God Says No
I was thinking yesterday about what I’ve written in the past about God’s “no” and how we respond. The thing is the more I thought about it the more I realized not only is God saying no to us and our plan, he is in fact saving us from ourselves! Think about it, what would your life be like if ever...

God's Detours: When the Unexpected Path Leads Home
I don’t know about you, but when I think back on the road God has sent me down in my life, it’s a miracle I ended up here. I mean, I’m probably not alone in that the path we’ve all taken has been full of detours and side roads along the way. But as I reflected over the long weekend while I flew a...

Understanding Life's Detours
We always run into detours or audibles in the road map or play book of our lives. We all do. Especially in our relationship with Christ. But why? Why can’t we just be saved and just cruise through life knowing we’re headed for eternity with our maker with no issues here? Well, let’s talk about it...

Seeking God's Approval First
Most of you know me pretty well and know I am a sucker for some good social media. I really do enjoy it (when it’s not politics and hate). I stick with 4 topics-dogs, dirt bikes, airplanes and family. But its got me thinking about who we are and what what we are doing with it.You see, with the ad...

When Disappointment Becomes Direction
If you’ve ever competed in anything or spent much time trying to accomplish anything, then I’m sure you’re familiar with disappointment. I say this jokingly, because clearly we’ve all had disappointments in our lives. However, the disappointments we face can either keep us where we are or catapul...

When Disappointment Strikes - God Handles Your Pain
Have you ever been disappointed? Of course you have. Ever been disappointed in yourself? Uh…yeah. No question we all have and it can come from many different things. We can be disappointed in other people, events or even disappointed in ourselves when things don’t go the way we expected or we act...

God's Plan Unfolding Before Us
God’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 that...

Planting Seeds, Not Moving Mountains
So, will we always see the result of the work we’ve done by witnessing to others and being there when they need us the most? Most certainly not. But that shouldn’t discourage us from being there and sharing the Gospel. You see, we never really know how God is using us, we just need to have faith...

Making the Most of Every God-Given Opportunity
I’ve been thinking over the weekend about some of my habits, but good and bad, and how I’ve been using the talents God has blessed me with. More specifically, am I taking about the opportunities He’s put before me and if I’m using them? Well, I hope so and I hope you are too. But understand, oppo...
