Taking Inventory of God's Good Gifts
So to take us into the weekend, I thought I’d have a little fun but ask a serious question too. First, I grabbed a verse from James. I grabbed 1:17, because my race number is 117. Why not right? “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with who...

Look Up to God, Not Inward at Yourself
You ever slowed down enough to take a look at how self obsessed our culture has become today? Man, I have. Everywhere you turn it’s another “be the better you” or whatever. We hardly notice anymore how self-obsessed we’re encouraged to be, how self-absorbed we really are. We’re so bent on improvi...

Keep Your Eyes on Jesus Through Life's Storms
My whole life, when I became frustrated with my circumstances, my dad would quote to me, “oh ye of little faith”. I use to make me more mad because I wanted him to tell me what to do or fix it for me. But you see, he was really just telling me where to go for my answers to my problems. “But when...

Overflowing Cup - Forever in the Lord's House
Most of what we read in The Psalm if David is about the journey and how God (our Shepherd) protects us and leads us along the way. We are His sheep after all...Anyhow, for me it’s the promise that I love so much;“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with...

He Is Risen: The Promise Jesus Made Plain
I’m a “straight shooter”, meaning I am pretty much going to call it like I see it and tell it like it is. Some appreciate it, some don’t like it. But its just the way I am. Jesus, on the other hand, wasn’t always direct. He often taught His lessons through Parables. Many of which, for me, take so...

Justified by Faith: Getting Right with God
I’ve been thinking the last couple of days about the journey we have been on together and some of the topics I chase down a rabbit hole. Not that I think they’re necessarily bad topics or irrelevant, I just think it’s good to get back to center. Level set, if you will. So, with that being said, I...

Making Hard Decisions with God's Guidance
It’s hard making big decisions in life. Often times we put it off or because we are so afraid we don’t make them at all. But in those circumstances that demand a grown up response, those who trust in God can look to him for guidance. That’s the only way I know how to make them. In the Bible David...

What Are You Really Talking About? Sharing Your Story
So it’s always fun to watch the Super Bowl, commercials and the half time show. It’s what everyone will be talking about for the next day or two. Great game too. But let’s take a minute and think about what we are always “talking about”. If you’re like most people, and I assume you are, you’re ta...

Getting Back on Track Through Repentance
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 Nashville, 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,...

Christmas: God's Message of Love to Your Heart
Well, here we are, Christmas Eve! The time of year we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus! But do we stop and wonder, why was Jesus born? Well, it’s because God so loved the world! The story of Jesus’ birth is not just a warm fuzzy story about a sweet baby born to nice people who we...

When God Taps You on the Shoulder
I had a great day yesterday saying thank you to my clients and business partners and hopefully relaying my genuine gratitude for their business and friendships. What I love the most, is two of my stops turned into discussions of faith and Jesus! I’m telling you Church was going down today people!...

Press On: Finding Redemption After Failure
I’ve been reading through a year and a half of my devotionals I’ve written and came across this one from 2018. I love it, so it’s worth rereading. I hope you don’t mind...This life isn’t easy, in fact it’s hard. We all have struggled and we all have failed but we must move on...“Not that I have a...

Clean Hearts: Purity from the Inside Out
Surgery went great! Thanks for all the prayers. I’m truly grateful. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that...

Born Again: A Fresh Start
“Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God."”John 3:3 Jesus is telling us how we get to Heaven. You see, Christianity, in a sense, is about new beginnings. If we are not prepared to make a fresh start each day, putting the mistakes...

God Gives Grace to the Humble
How humble do you think you are? Are you prideful and boastful? I ask because God is close to the humble and broken hearted. No one is perfect. We all have sinned. But what makes us beloved to God is our willingness to accept our sinful condition and return to Him. You see, David was a man after...

Gratitude for Everyone You Meet
You know, a few weeks ago I was talking about The Great Commission and how we are called to share the story of Christ. Well, today I got to thinking about the people we surround ourselves with and the people we express our gratitude towards. You see, sharing our gratitude with others is a great w...

Grace Explained - God's Free Gift of Righteousness
Grace. What is it exactly? I mean I sign off with,“Grace wins” everyday, but what exactly am I talking about? Well, in the book of Romans, Paul tells us that we can’t receive God’s favor, become righteous, by works alone. Meaning simply obeying the laws of the land wouldn’t get us His favor. So,...

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...

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....

This World Is Not Our Home
It’s been a long few days,I’m not going to lie. But through the pain, there has been time to reflect on what is happening and I am sad but at peace. Over the next two days, we will be receiving visitors to honor my father and lay him to rest. But this is just for us, as he is already with The Fat...

Faith Gets Us Through Tough Times
This is a hard morning to write to you all as within the hour or sending our message out yesterday, my father passed away. But I’m not going to sit here and talk about his death, but rather something he believed in and said often in the face of tragedy. “I don’t see how people make it through tou...

Nothing Compares to Christ
You ever take a minute and look around your life and reflect on the blessing He has given you? I’m sure you have, we all do at times. This morning, as I was digging into the word, I was reflecting on some of those things and it struck me that much of what I was grateful for were things of this wo...

Saved by Grace, Not Works
Ok, so last week we talked about being a good witness for Christ, bearing good fruit and trying to be more like Jesus. All of which we should be doing. However, I think it’s worthy of discussion as to just how these “good works” are viewed. While we may be confident in our work, confidence in our...

Effective Witnessing: Be Like Jesus
So I’ve been reading throuus gh Philippians and talking about how we need to get to work to spread the word of Jesus. It’s been enlightening reading about Paul and his struggles and his witness. But it’s been brought up to me and asked, “how exactly do we be an effective witness?”Well, look at it...
