To Be Forgiven, You Must Also Forgive
So hear’s a thought? So I’ve been talking all week about forgiving and how we can and should. But do you want others to forgive you? Even more importantly, do you want God to forgive you?You see, in order to be forgiven, you also have to be able to forgive. That applies to others just as well as...

Finding Your God-Given Purpose and Direction
Ever felt like sometimes you’re a “Yes Man”? Man I sure use to be, that’s for sure. For much of my life I was a bit directionless. If someone asked me to do something and if it even kind of felt like a good idea, I would do it. I spread myself pretty thin. Because I could turn my hand to a number...

Reflecting God's Light, Not the World's Stuff
So I had a great conversation today with one of you on this devotional chain about the different stages we’ve been through in life as it pertained to “stuff” we acquired. And when I mean stuff, I’m talking about the $100K cars and expansive homes, etc. We basically concluded that as we get older,...

God's Way Out Isn't Always What We Expect
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...

Press On: Leaving the Past Behind
We must press on, we must leave the past in the past and press on in our daily lives not for our glory but His. Man, we need to let go of the past, the pain, the heartbreak, and the disappointments. We need to let go sadness and instead choose to live our lives in faith. We take God at His Word....

Living for Christ: This World Is Not Our Home
“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 lose as Christians? Nothing in this w...

Your Habits Don't Define You - Christ Does
“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh A...

Planting Seeds, 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 t...

Finding Purpose in the Mundane Monday

What Are You Waiting For? Step Out in Faith
What are you waiting for? I’ve been thinking about this simple question for over a week now. You see, one of us has been given a great opportunity to change the direction of their life and career by making some big changes and trusting God to lead the way. I’m super excited for him too, God’s got...

True Heroism: Finding Identity Beyond Accomplishments
This past weekend was somewhat disappointing but at the same time gratifying.

Winning the Race That Matters: Eternal Perspective
Sport, like life, has winners and loser. It’s always has and it always will. Despite the wishes of a seemingly blind new culture that wants to teach us “fairness” and insulate of from pain and failure, you will lose and things won’t always go your way. But that’s ok. You see, when we walk with Ch...

The Vagrant Faith: Having Everything, Owning Nothing
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...

Sharing the Gospel by Staying on Mission
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...

Racing for God: Finding Your Mission Field
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...

God's Guidance After Life's Disappointments
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...

Living Intentionally for Today

You Don't Deserve It, But God Gives It Anyway
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...

Grace to Start Over: A Different Life Beyond Understanding
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...

Quick to Hear, Slow to Speak: Taming the Tongue
“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...

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...
