May 13, 2022
This past week has been somewhat disappointing but at the same time gratifying. You see, somewhere in the crazy journey of mine to grow my relationship with Christ, I think I’m beginning to learn what humility all means. For years I set my sights on accomplishing thing that defined “who” I was......

“And Jesus answered them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance."”Luke 5:31-32 You see, God sent His only son Jesus to Earth for primary purpose: to give us new life. In Luke, Jesus rewords His miss...

Did you know you have a gift to share? You do, whether you are aware of it or not you’ve got one. Some times these gifts may not internal knowledge or a skill you share. Many times is as simple as sharing a gift God has blessed you with. Maybe it’s a ride for a friend when their car is broken dow...
materialismApril 22, 2022
So, I want to end this week talking about some of the things that in many ways separate us from our relationship with God. The pursuit of “more” is definitely one of those things...“He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity.”...

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...

So, last night at dinner I was talking about my process and how I write our devotionals. I was sharing how I love to go back on occasions and see what was on my heart on this date in time. Well, It’s funny how God will tap you on the shoulder to remind you sometimes that “this ain’t new” and He’s...

Job was a tremendously righteous man and suffered greatly. So do we assume that the more righteous we are the more suffering we are to expect? Not necessarily. The large part of Job’s life features God’s blessings in every way. You see, Christ tells His disciples that good and bad things happen t...
sufferingFebruary 15, 2022
You ever notice that when we finally get out of whatever it is we are suffering from it never seems to be the way we thought we would get out of it? Like during our suffering we could never understand or see the way out that God has for us. It’s because it’s His plan for us not our plan for us. H...

“But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.”Jeremiah 29:7 God didn’t put you where you are by mistake. He doesn’t make mistakes. When we believe in our hearts God is good and that His though...

“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”Philippians 1:21 Are you living “in Christ”? What I mean is that are you living for the pleasure and joys of the flesh that this world offers or are you living as a servant of Christ. What do we really have to loose as Christians? Nothing in this...

“But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save h...
surrenderDecember 21, 2021
What are you trying to hang on to that Jesus wants you to let go of, and turn it over to him for safekeeping? I’ve had to give up some things in my life that I thought I never could, but ultimately brought me closer to Christ. “This earth is not my home, I’m just passing through.” How many times...

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...

This has been one of the hardest years I can remember outside of the year I lost my dad. You see, I started out 2021 on a roll. Feeling good, business was clicking and then suddenly without any warning, cancer. Just like that,my word turned over. I have been sick since July, and my work all but s...

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, rather 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...
identity-in-christNovember 1, 2021
Welcome to November!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...

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...
repentanceOctober 13, 2021
So I got to thinking about how life seems to ebb and flow with good times and bad. More specifically, as I was driving back from treatment, 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,...

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...

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...
