- Courage
God Commands Your Courage
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."”Joshua 1:9 Hearing that you should be strong and courageous is a lofty notion. It’s a pretty great idea. It’s something nice to hear. But God step...
- Restraint
Wisdom in Knowing When to Hold Your Tongue
I got to thinking over the last week 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 th...
- Integrity
Walking with Integrity in a Crooked World
“Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.”Proverbs 10:9 It’s a big weekend for college football the next couple weekend and I for one am excited. It’s hard though not to see what is going on with the new NIL deals and the transfer portals. In...
- Salvation
The Ultimate Thanksgiving: God's Gift of Salvation
“"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 So this morning’s verse popped up on my phone and it was John 3:16. We see it everywhere, it’s been commercialized, advertised and immortalized by famous athlet...
- Faith Testing
Trusting God's Goodness Through Life's Hardest Moments
We will all face those times in our lives when we question whether or not God is on our side. I am sure I’ve told this story before, but in light of Thanksgiving, I feel like telling it again. In September of 2016, I was seriously injured doing what I love, racing motocross. I broke my jaw requir...
- Prayer
When God is Silent
So I’ve been reading-thinking about prayer and when God is listening. Does he take a break from listening? I don’t think so…But how do we react when God is silent? You see, God uses silence to draw out faith. Great faith!When God is silent, do we listen to voices that question our right to hear f...
- Heart Transformation
What Comes Out of Your Heart
“But Peter said to him, "Explain the parable to us." And he said, "Are you also still without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled? But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person. For out of the...
- Gods Rules
God's Rules vs Human Rules
What “rules” do you play by? Human rules or God’s rules?You see, we add things to God’s rules and think it helps people. Usually, it causes people to take their eyes off God’s rules and put them on our rules. Soon, our rules become more important than God’s. Love one another. Forgive anyone who s...
- Testimony
Share Your Story of God's Healing
“And when the men of that place recognized him, they sent around to all that region and brought to him all who were sick and implored him that they might only touch the fringe of his garment. And as many as touched it were made well.”Matthew 14:35-36This was a story of a simple man who’d share wh...
- Faith Trials
Step Out of the Boat - Faith Through Life's Storms
So, you ever have a lot of things going on and you’re really having to lean on the Lord to give you patience and strength and deliver you from this storm that won’t seem to subside? I have, and it gets me asking myself how strong is my faith and is it strong enough to survive it? Am I ready to “w...
- Eternal Life
The Path of Life Leads to Eternal Joy
Jesus tells Martha, “who ever lives and believes in me will never die”...“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”Psalms 16:11 I get your life right now may be getting hammered with frustrations and brokenness...
- Reputation
A Good Name is Better Than Great Riches
How’s your reputation?“A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold.”Proverbs 22:1 A bad reputation has a ruthless way of catching up to you. And it doesn’t matter if you have a great family, if you are in good health, or if you are flush with cash...
- Worldly Wisdom
The World's Wisdom is Foolishness to God
Close your eyes for a minute and imagine that you’re continuing down your current path with your current definition of success. You see it? Stay with me. You keep working as hard as you’re working. And you keep prioritizing the things you’re prioritizing. What’s your life look like in say 5 years...
- Forgiveness
God Gives Us a New Song to Sing
Thank this in to the weekend…“He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.”Psalms 40:2-3 I have a past, I ha...
- Suffering
Why Does God Allow Bad Things to Happen?
I see a lot of post and stories in the media (that which I allow myself to see) and people seem, generally speaking, so mad and angry. We protest everything for Pete’s sake. Many times I see them questioning God or if there even is one! Why do we sometimes get frustrated or angry with God? Let’s...
- Doubt
Bringing Hope to a World Full of Doubt
As we fall into November with too much candy in our bellies, I wanted to touch on something I’ve been kicking around all week, doubt. While we talk about hope and good fruit all the time it seems as though it “pays better” to promote the opposite. You see, we sure live in a world of skepticism an...
- Anger
Quick to Listen, Slow to Speak and Anger
So, I got to thinking about how we all fall into the trap of reacting too quickly and loudly when things aren’t going our way. We’re all imperfect, it’s ok, you can admit it. We all do it. In James we are told;“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow...
- Purpose
Stop Wasting Time - Write Your Epic Story
I’ve had a lot time lately (and the last two years) to think about my life, where I am, who I am and what my time is worth. I’ve made the decision to stop wasting time with things that keep me from being who and what God’s calling me to be, it’s just exhausting...and you shouldn’t either. Don’t l...
- Faith
Believing for the Impossible - God's New Thing
I was in treatment yesterday and I got to thinking about this past year and where I am. I’m not sure what you’ve been doing all year and if it’s even what God wants you to be doing, but I know God wants us to ask Him to get involved. He wants us to believe for the impossible because it requires u...
- Faith
Faith: The Choice That Opens Heaven's Door
We talk about our faith everyday. We lean on our faith to get through everyday. Our faith gives us hope. But what is Faith really?In Hebrews it tells us;“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”Hebrews 11:1 That’s it! It’s believing in something we canno...
- Joy
True Joy: When You Have Jesus, You Have Everything
I was just thinking last night about our country and the incredibly corrupt politicians and now nice it is that I have mostly tuned it out. I’m just not interested in giving it any more life than it deserves. “Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in he...
- Wisdom
Knowledge vs Wisdom: God's Gift to the Body of Christ
You know, I enjoy every minute of these devotionals I write and share every day. My prayer is that God blesses me with the knowledge and the wisdom to share His message in a meaningful and relatable way. I hope I am doing just that...But what is knowledge and wisdom after all? I’d say knowledge i...
- Guilt
Freedom from Guilt: Embracing Christ's Forgiveness
So, I spent some time yesterday thinking back to a long time friend who came to me a couple years ago after some struggles and looking to the Lord for renewal. When friends come to us, it’s our chance to bear witness to the Grace God has shown us. It’s our chance to share what has so freely and u...
- Surrender
This Is God's World: Learning to Let Go of Control
You know, it’s tough when things don’t go the way we think they will. All of us struggle every day to try to get control of our environments. We try to build financial wealth so that we won't suffer need. We try to take care of our health so we don't feel pain or suffer illness. We try to manage...
