- Gratitude
Nothing Compares to Christ: True Blessing Revealed
You ever take a minute and look around your life and reflect on the blessing He has given you? I’m sure you have, we all do at times. This morning, as I was digging into the word, I was reflecting on some of those things and it struck me that much of what I was grateful for were things of this wo...
- Salvation
Grace Not Works: The Foundation of Our Salvation
Ok, so this week we talked about being a good witness for Christ, bearing good fruit and trying to be more like Jesus. All of which we should be doing. However, I think it’s worthy of discussion as to just how these “good works” are viewed. While we may be confident in our work, confidence in our...
- Witnessing
Be Like Jesus: Witnessing by Attraction
So I’ve been reading through Philippians and talking about how we need to get to work to spread the word of Jesus. It’s been enlightening reading about Paul and his struggles and his witness. But it’s been brought up to me and asked, “how exactly do we be an effective witness?”Well, look at it li...
- Humility
Thinking of Ourselves Less Often
“So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility coun...
- Gospel Sharing
What Does It Matter? Unity in Gospel Sharing
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...
- Faith
Growing Your Love for God Through Faith
As I sit here watching the sun come up this morning, I can’t help but marvel at the beauty God has made. How do I know he made it? Well, I have faith that he did. It’s the same faith that I have in Him that allows me to grow closer to Him. You see, developing a love for God is a little more chall...
- Balance
Finding Balance Through Compassion and Service
You have any balance to your life? Would you know what it was if you had it? I got to thinking about how we get started exactly? First, we need to have that desire to serve God. How can I help my brother or sister, assist someone in need, give within my abilities or even greater, give when I feel...
- Pride
Pride vs Faith: Who's Really Driving Your Life?
I had a great conversation with one of my friends and we were discussing times when we feel like “we got this” and we believe in our own selves and stop relying on God. You see this is caused by or led by Pride, the first sin. Pride tells us that we can do what want and we are enamored with ourse...
- Loving Others
Loving Others: Seeing God's Image in Everyone
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. Just yesterday, this clown with Florida tags in a crossover, going 60 miles an...
- Immanuel
Immanuel: Why God Chose to Be With Us
“"Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel" (which means, God with us).”Matthew 1:23 Have you ever thought about why God sent Jesus? It’s pretty amazing to think about. God could have chosen any number of ways to save us. But He sent His Son, Jesus,...
- Hypocrisy
Living Like Jesus: The Hypocrisy Problem
You guys know I tend to write what is on my heart. It’s what helps me drive the content I send each morning. You ever stopped and thought about why so many people often quit going to church these days? Not even attending church, just believing! I have, and the main reason I believe is that people...
- Faith
Letting Go: When God's Plan Trumps Yours
Look, I’ve talked about this many times before, but God continues to show me time and time again that He is in control, not me. No matter how many times I pray for something to happen or I try and drive a situation in my life the way I HAVE IT PLANNED, God always seems to reply in His way by show...
- Gods Purpose
Bloom Where You're Planted: God's Purpose in Your Place
“But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.”Jeremiah 29:7 God didn’t put you where you are by mistake. He doesn’t make mistakes. When we believe in our hearts God is good and that His though...
- Peace
Seeking God's Peace Over Escaping Our Problems
In my daily prayer with God I’d say the number one thing I ask for is peace. Not much of anything matters to me as much as a sense of peace and serenity that only God can give me. You see, like most everyone, I too have seen some hard times. Heck, I’m sure there may be some more during my earthly...
- Perseverance
The Crown of Life: Blessing Through Steadfast Faith
“Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.”James 1:12 As we’ve talked about staying true to our faith under hard times and how that will build perseverance, James tells us t...
- Wisdom
Praying for Wisdom in Hard Times, Not Escape
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...
- Forgiveness
Let It Go: Choosing 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...
- Hope
Hope Beyond Resolutions: Eternal Perspective for New Year
“So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light and momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen....
- Restoration
God Pursues You: The Truth About Restoration
The definition of restore is to “bring back”, reinstate. Many of us are always working to restore our relationship with Christ. We are always coming back to seeking Him. But you see, God is always the pursuer of the lost and rebellious. God is always the pursuer, the seeker, the good shepherd in...
- Gratitude
Gratitude First: Seeing Differently Through Thanksgiving
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...
- Faith Journey
What Are You Waiting For? Trust God and Take Action
What are you waiting for? I’ve been thinking about this simple question for over a week now. You see, one of us has been given a great opportunity to change the direction of their life and career by making some big changes, leaving a good job in Motorsports, joining his father and brother in busi...
- Purpose
Living is Christ: Finding Purpose Beyond This World
“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”Philippians 1:21 Are you living “in Christ”? What I mean is that are you living for the pleasure and joys of the flesh that this world offers or are you living as a servant of Christ. What do we really have to loose as Christians? Nothing in this...
- Transformation
Putting Off the Old Self and Breaking Bad Habits
“But that is not the way you learned Christ!— assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and...
- Peace
Finding Peace in the Journey of Trials
I had a great time at lunch with one of the 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 me purpose each morning to get up and not gi...
