Sharing Christ's Love Through Action and Service
We have a lot of work to do yet. We need to always be sharing the name who has delivered us, Jesus. Now is the time to reach out to a world that needs to feel the love of Christ. Now is the time to help people experience forgiveness and receive unconditional love! I believe it has been in God’s p...

Standing Firm: How Trials Build Our Faith Credibility
I want to stay with Paul in Philippians because I think it’s important to understand how he was using his imprisonments as an advantage to further the message of Christ. “so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righte...

What Matters Most: Christ is Proclaimed
I wanted to touch on a something that has been with me the last few days. It’s a thought centering around my own sharing of the gospel and the sharing I receive from others. More specifically who “should and shouldn’t be sharing”? “Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from...

Love in Action: The Golden Rule and Our Relationship with God
So, we’ve been talking about seeking balance in our lives and our relationships with God by showing compassion and serving others. What’s interesting though, is this has me circling back to our discussion of the “Golden Rule” and how that affects our relationship with other and our relationship w...

When Pride Says 'I Got This'
Like history, a lot of things seem to repeat themselves. Many times I have the same conversations and write about the same things here. Well, today is no different. I had a great conversation with one of my friends yesterday and we were discussing times when we feel like “we got this” and we beli...

Seeing Others as God's Masterpieces
Welcome to August…So, I’ve been reading and writing about how we need to try and live like Jesus would etc. As kids we were taught the Golden Rule (Jesus’ rule) threat others the way we want to be treated. Great idea, not so easy to do. We all know that loving everyone, even the ones we don’t lik...

Ask God for Wisdom to Navigate Hard Times
Alright, so you are probably asking yourself, after yesterday’s message, “how exactly am I supposed to stay rejoicing during these hard times?” Well, I hear you and I get it. James is telling us to rejoice during our times of struggle because this faith produces perseverance. The Bible teaches us...

Finding Joy During Trials: God Is Shaping You
So last weekend I was messaging a good friend of mine who was recently badly injured in a mountain bike accident. After some surgery and screws in his knee, he’s on the mend now. He’s pretty dissapointed, understandably, because it’s going to sideline him from racing this summer in the Nationals...
- Forgiveness
Choose Forgiveness Over Vengeance
Watching the news, scrolling through social media or just taking an watchful eye on what goes on around us, I can’t help but notice that it seems like everyone is out for vengeance. It’s ridiculous honestly. We have talked repeatedly about forgiveness and it’s a HUGE topic with me as it is the es...
- Gratitude
Gratitude Changes Everything
I read this last night and it bears repeating;“We don’t need to see things differently to be grateful; rather, we must be grateful to see things differently.”Wow, I need to read that. You see, God turns our gratitude into goodness, adds peace to our pain, and provides strength in our struggles. G...

What Are You Waiting For? Step Into God's Plans
What are you waiting for? I’ve been thinking about this simple question for over a week now. You see, last year I was being called to step away from a long career and focus on health, faith, family and friends. While I wasn’t really sure what it was going to look like, I soon realized God had big...
- Peace
Finding Peace in the Journey, Not the Destination
24I had a great time celebrating the fourth yesterday and got to spend time with a new member of our group yesterday and we got to talk about this devotional, keeping it going through my treatments and what I got out of it. Well, in short I just had to keep moving forward. Getting this out gave m...

Planting Seeds: Faith in the Unseen Results
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...

WWJD: Faithful Witness vs Judging Others
I know I’ve written about this before, but y’all remember the WWJD bracelets we use to wear?I’ve been reading about how we should watch what we say and how we act and this came to mind. What ever happened to it? Did we figure out what Jesus would do? Did we stop caring? Well, I think it would be...
- Anger
Ending Arguments: The Power of Controlled Speech
“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.”James 1:19-20Seeking revenge or trash talking someone else when they hurt us is easy to do. We all have time everyday where someone has...

Relying on God Through Life's Overwhelming Burdens
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...
- Weakness
Embracing Weakness: When We Are Weak, Then We Are Strong
Without a doubt, this is one of my favorite verses in the Bible. “So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. Three times I pleaded with the...

You Have a Gift to Share - Use It to Serve Others
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...

Bouncing Back from Loss with Steadfast Faith
I was watching the US Open golf tournament yesterday and the heartbreaking finish for Rory McIlroy. It was a tough one to take I’m sure…but it got me thinking about loss and struggles and how we respond. How good are you from bouncing back after a loss? One of the great tragedies in modern-day Ch...

When Pursuit of More Crowds Out God
So, I want to keep on track this week 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...

More Than Christmas and Easter
“Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?"”John 11:25-26 That’s really all there is to it, isn’t it? I mean, just believe that Jesus died for yo...

God Wants to Stay for Dinner
“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.”Revelation 3:20 One of the most powerful things you need to understand as you Follow Jesus is how much God loves you, He isn't interested in some religious...
- Wise Speech
Better Left Unspoken
I got to thinking recently how some things are better left unspoken; don’t give them airtime. In other words, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all...right? Proverbs 10:19 “In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is wise”.Some things are b...

The Ultimate Gift of Love
“"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”John 3:16 We see it everywhere, it’s been commercialized, advertised and immortalized by famous athletes and commoners alike. But why shouldn’t it? It’s the single core a...
