- Grace
Starting Over: Grace for a New Life
One of the things I think about a lot is the grace that God has shown me. Like in the song, “I was blind but now I see..”. But no matter how grateful I am, I still have the moments when I think back on my life to times that make me cringe. I look back and realize no matter how hard I tried, I mad...
- Spiritual Longing
There's Got to Be More: Finding God in Our Longings
Hey, you ever get that feeling like there is something more? That you are chasing something in life that won’t fully satisfy you? I have. Pay close attention to that feeling though, it’s from God. We see people everyday who seem to be “put together”. People that have a lot of seat time in church...
- Gods Love
God's Love Without End
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 two years ago. I rememb...
- Repentance
Times of Refreshing: The Freedom of Repentance
I recently made the conscious decision to get rid of some old junk I’ve been carrying around with me for a long time. It wasn’t anything major, but it was something that for some reason I hadn’t let go of and handed to God. Now that I have, I feel pretty stupid for hauling it around for as long a...
- Witness
Let Your Light Shine: Living as Christ's Witness
Should we care what people think of us? Should we care what we post on social media? I mean, we hear all the time, “God’s judgement is the only one that matters”, right? While I agree with the later, I disagree. We should care what others see from us, it’s our light. As disciples of Christ, we ne...
- Salvation Security
Secure in His Hands: The Promise of Eternal Life
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...
- Justification
Living in Grace: Peace Through Justification
“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 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...
- Attitude
Guard Your Heart from Negative Influences
Continuing with attitude, we need to look at what influences our attitudes. Most often than not, it’s the people around us that tend to shape our attitudes. To change our attitude, we may need to change who we are letting influence us. The words of the people closest to us permeate our heart, whi...
- Attitude
Attitude: Beyond Feelings to Christ
Attitude determines so much of our lives. It governs the way we perceive the world and the way the world perceives us. It drives behavior and sets the tone for conversations. Attitude literally affects every area of our lives, yet most of us don’t have a good handle on it...but we can. I’m trying...
- Fear
Overcoming Fear and Looking Forward
23So, I’m talking to one of my flying buddies on the phone yesterday and we were discussing our faith and how we rely on it when we are faced with fear. After we talked I pondered on our chat for a while and one of the things I kept coming back to is what and why I feared some of the things I’ve...
- Pride
Breaking Down Pride and Proud Thoughts
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 own lives?We need to be careful with our thoughts. Some of them are proud...
- Giving
Secret Giving: When Your Left Hand Doesn't Know
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...
- Heart Condition
God Weighs the Heart: True Motives Matter
Have you ever thought about how we judge our own actions versus how God judges our actions? As some point we are all apt to judge our actions too favorably and to have too lofty an opinion of our own character. While this conceit and self promotion may look great on Facebook and drive a lot of “l...
- Fellowship
Strength in Numbers: Faith Through Fellowship
We’ve talked about having Faith for the past couple of days now and I’d like to be wrapping 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...
- Faith
Faith in the Storm: Beyond Mere 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...
- Anxiety
Who Holds Your Future: From Anxiety to Trust
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...
- Social Media
Stop Measuring Your Worth by Social Media Likes
I’m sure I’m not the only one who plays on social media in this group. It’s ok, I’m sure we’re not alone either. But there’s a catch; why are we playing on social media? Is it to see what our friends and families are up to? Maybe, sure. Is it to let the world know how put together we are? Ha, pos...
- Communication
Bringing Out the Best in Others Through Conversation
So, my readings of late are taking me down the road of conversations we have with others, how not to be in a comparison game with others and generally how to “be Nice” and not be offensive. I’m told at times I can be “to honest” and not sensitive to others although I never intend to offend anyone...
- Forgiveness
Becoming Unoffendable: Breaking Free from Offense
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Remember that growing up?How awesome would it be if that statement were true? Oftentimes it is far easier to heal a broken bone than it is to heal the wound caused by something someone said that deeply offended us. One of the top...
- Wisdom
The Wisdom of Keeping Silent
You ever come across someone that you really wanted to give your “two cents” to but thought better of it? You know the type, the ones who no amount of me “being right” was going to change this persons views and nothing would have been gained...the earth is crawling with them and they seem to be g...
- Gratitude
A Heart Full of Gratitude and Praise
I am so grateful for each of you. I’m feeling it and I want to talk about it. Last week I had the chance to talk with a couple of you and you have filled my heart with happiness because you told me you look forward each morning to our little devotional. I even got to talk about it on a podcast, “...

The Golden Power of Perfect Timing
Timing is everything man. “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.”Proverbs 25:11 ESVLook, a lot of times it’s not WHAT we say but WHEN we say it. There’s a whole lot of good that comes out of learning and making a conscious effort to speak the right words at the right...
- Identity
Being Who God Wants You to Be
You ever wonder if you’re being who God wants you to be or who others think you should be?“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”Galatians 1:10 Maybe you are worried about what o...

Born Again to Living Hope
Take this into the weekend with you. Wow, just let this sink in this morning...“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that i...
