When We Get Angry with God
Why do we sometimes get frustrated or angry with God? Let’s face it, we all do it. We lose a job promotion, a race didn’t go our way, we experience a death in the family, personal injury or financial hardships. This list is long...we all have them. Life’s hard. "God, why did you let that happen?"...

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.

Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that s...

Faith Beyond Belief
So I made the comment yesterday that, “Believing is not Faith”. I’m confident of this and I believe that, while related, they are drastically different. Faith is not believing in God’s goodness only when we are out of the storm; faith is believing in God’s goodness right in the middle of it. The...

Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of...

Trusting God Through Life's Storms
Trusting God in the midst of our trials and storms shows Him that we count on Him, not the world. When the choice comes, to choose to make things work by the means this world offers or rely on God, we should choose to rely on God.I can’t help but wonder if part of the difficulties in our lives ar...

Perfect Peace in Life's Perfect Storms
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”John 14:27 You don’t need to be a mariner to experience a perfect storm. In fact, you’ve undoubtedly already faced a few in your lifetime. I know...

Day 2So yesterday was a tough day for me. Not because of work or family or anything like that, it was because I felt what it was going to feel like to be persecuted for my witness. It felt really bad. You see, someone rejected my witness (via my text) and said, “practice what you preach before yo...
