- Salvation
Salvation Security: God's Unbreakable Promise
You ever wonder if you’re saved by God through Jesus Christ, can you lose it? Can God change His mind? Let’s be honest, as good as we try to be, we all fail and will fail some more. But God doesn’t break promises He makes and your salvation is one of his promises. Jesus talks about being born aga...
- Fear
Don't Let the Past Dictate Your Destiny
So, I’ve been thinking lately, reflecting on the 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. I think with the current environment we are all wonderin...
- Pride
Pride Goes Before the Fall
The Bible tells us that the devil lost everything he had because arrogance took roots in his heart.How many times have we watched this play out in the lives of famous athletes, celebrities and even people we’ve know in our open lives?We need to be careful with our thoughts. Some of them are proud...
- Giving
Give in Secret
Let’s continue down this journey of what lies in our heart that is behind our actions. Yesterday we talked about having to lofty opinion our ourselves and how that aligns with God’s views of our actions. Today, I’d like to take this a little further and talk about how we give and why. We live in...
- Fellowship
Exercising Faith Through Fellowship
We’ve talked about having Faith for the past couple of days now and I’d like to wrap up how we exercise that Faith in overcoming our troubles and fears through fellowship with others. When was the last time you shared your fears and struggles with a close friends? You see, we were designed to go...
- Faith Vs Belief
Faith vs Belief: Love That Casts Out Fear
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...
- Anxiety
From Anxiety to Faith: Who Holds Your Future
Are we addressing the real issues in our anxiety over what the future holds? Is our anxiety a product of not knowing what the future holds? I submit to you that we are anxious because WE are trying to control what happens and not truly giving our lives to God to navigate. We may “believe” he has...
- Heart Renewal
Restarting Your Heart: Aligning with God's Thoughts
So, as I think about letting God restart my heart, I am asking myself, “a restart is from what exactly?”Well, for me I think it is understanding that my understanding and thoughts about any situation I am facing is nowhere near as perfect as God’s thoughts...“For my thoughts are not your thoughts...
- Gods Sovereignty
Remember: God is God and He Has a Plan
“remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,'”Isaiah 46:9-10I don’t know about y...
- Freedom From Past
Let God Wipe Away Your Past and Transform Your Future
“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."”Revelation 21:4 I’m going to keep this simple today because the point I want is simple. When you are in Christ, your p...
- Gods Knowledge
God Knows You Completely and Loves You Unconditionally
Almost everyday I like to look back at what I wrote and what we were talking about in the past years. It’s hard to believe I’ve been at this now since 2018. I am still humbled by the fact that you’re still here. Amazing really...so thank you. Anyhow, this is a throwback to five years ago. I remem...
- Happiness
Don't Let Your Situation Define Your Happiness
“When I stopped letting my situation define my happiness, I began to find happiness in my situation.”You see, if you don’t give people or situations permission to steal your happiness, they can’t take it. It’s pretty simple I think and we visited it last week. I want to go back there for a bit. E...
- Humility
Two Ways to Learn Humility: The Hard Way or the Worse Way
I think at some level we all struggle with pride and have a hard time with humility. I know I do, at certain times more than others. How do you grow in humility? I know of two ways. One of them is hard and the other one sucks. The first and hard one, is to value humility so much that you develop...
- Identity In Christ
Your True Identity: Adopted Child of God
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 Christ? Well, you’r...
- Life Without Jesus
Life Without Jesus: A Foundation of Gratitude
What would your life look like without Jesus? I don’t know if you think about that, but I think about it often. I cringe at the thought of what my life would be without Jesus. I’m sure my heart would be cold because I felt it headed that way when I met Christ. I’d probably be pretty lonely. I may...
- Forgiveness
Forgiveness as an Act of Worship
Welp, we made it another week! Let’s take the weekend and think about forgiveness. It’s not that I’m saying we don’t forgive, I just think we can all use a reminder as we part for a couple of day about the one thing that is the essence of who we are...forgiveness. You see, God loves you! And he k...
- Gods Grace
God's Grace is Greater Than Our Sin
We’ve been doing this since sometime in 2018. I know I’ve written le about 1615 devotionals. I don’t think that’s all of them because I’m sure I’ve accidentally deleted some and reused some…but I digress. In the beginning, I use to sign off our devotionals with God is greater than me. (God > Me)...
- Gods Love
God's Love Proven at the Cross
I had a great conversation yesterday with a buddy and they were asking me about my journey and how I am where I am and how I got here...his questions gave me reason to reflect on God’s grace he’s shown me. “but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”Rom...
- Suffering
Rejoicing in Suffering
Like you, I’ve gone through sufferings and hard times and I will again I’m sure. But are we rejoicing in our sufferings?Here’s a great quote by CS Lewis, “God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pain. It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” “Not only t...
- Justification
Justified by Faith Alone
Ah…the weekend is here. I’ve been thinking the last couple of days about the journey we have been on together and some of the topics I’ve chased down rabbit holes. 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....
- Trials
Count It All Joy Through Trials
As I sit here this morning reading and wondering what we will talk about, my mind continues to slip to Monday’s surgery and how this has seemingly drug on forever…mainly because I still feel it. But the thing is, I’m not complaining. Probably because I’ve learned that this is all part of my story...
- Godly Counsel
The Wisdom of Godly Counsel
As I’ve grown older and I hope wiser, I’ve learned quite a few things that I couldn’t have accepted when I was younger and more stupid. One of the most glaringly things, obvious to me now, is I could never have gotten where I am today both professionally and personally without the help and counse...
- Gods Purpose
Right Where God Wants You
As I head in the pre-op this morning, I want you to know I believe in something very simple. Regardless of your age or current phase of life, God isn’t done with us yet. Despite our sometimes dissatisfaction of where we are in our life currently, God has us right where He wants us for a reason. L...
- Mind Transformation
Breaking Free from the World's 'Normal'
Ok, I’m going to “get real” for a minute. Too often I allow myself to think in ways that lead me to act contrary to God’s Word. What exactly do I mean? Simple, I like you maybe, can easily get caught up in what the world around me says is ok and acceptable. What is “normal” these days is hard to...
