October 29, 2025
“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh A...
addictionOctober 28, 2025
Look, I get it, we all need to feel a reconnection with God and with people after we have done something wrong or been through a difficult circumstance. But if we don’t find that bond, we will try and comfort ourselves with something else, anything else, to numb the pain. Our addictions are norma...
stillnessOctober 27, 2025
What does it mean to “Be still and know”?This is from the Psalm of King David. Psalm 46:10-11"Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!" The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah”Psalms 46:10-11 I like this v...
new-creationOctober 24, 2025
We are new creations in Christ. Time to leave to “old you” behind, discard the old habits and move along in you relationship with Christ. “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...
peaceOctober 23, 2025
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."”John 16:33 It’s the middle of the fourth quarter in my world and I found myself slipping in and out what I call my “peace” or “serenity” yesterday....
faithOctober 22, 2025
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 t...
evangelismOctober 21, 2025
I have got to tell y’all, the last several days have been great because I’ve had the chance to talk about God’s Grace and Jesus...I love it when this happens!“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”Matthew 28...
workOctober 20, 2025
It’s Monday, time to get going and get back to work and tackle this week’s challenges head on. For those retired…well, enjoy. We are very blessed to do what we do. And there are many out there who don’t have the “work” and would love to have to deal with the challenges I mentioned above. “Then he...
gods-peaceOctober 17, 2025
So, what causes us to think God’s peace equals perfection on earth? Our expectations. I read where a pastor once said, “If I’m going to live at peace, I’ve got to surrender my expectation of perfection. Peace isn’t found in a place or in a set of circumstances that are problem free.” Amen, huh?Wh...
honorOctober 16, 2025
You ever think about what it means when we treat others the way we want to be treated? I think what it means, other than love your brother, is to honor what God has made. Honor isn’t a new idea. In fact, it is actually a key component in the scripture we read. God created each one of us, and ever...
gods-faithfulnessOctober 15, 2025
So in Romans 8, we are told, “if God is for us, who can be against us?” What an incredibly comforting promise from the living God, especially in the troubled times in which we are living. But God requires from us two things in return: they are faithfulness and obedience. You see, He is a jealous...
friendshipOctober 14, 2025
I hope your week is off to a great start. I was driving and listening to my music and an old favorite of mine came on. It reminded me of a devotional I wrote a long time ago and I went to digging for it…I found it and thought it was worth the reboot. Hope you enjoy. From June of 2019;I bet you wo...
forgivenessOctober 13, 2025
You ever think about how powerful Jesus is and His command for us forgive, as God has, those who have hurt us? I mean think about this, with that one selfless action, He becomes the great restorer. Pretty awesome I think. “"If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you...
humilityOctober 10, 2025
This past week was somewhat frustrating but at the same time gratifying. You see, somewhere in the crazy journey of mine to grow my relationship with Christ, I think I’m beginning to learn what humility all means. For years I set my sights on accomplishing thing that defined “who” I was...but the...
protectionOctober 9, 2025
Why do we protect ourselves with seat belts when driving, helmets and boots when riding and life jackets when on the water? It’s so we are ready when the unexpected comes. Right? When we wear these protective devices, they don’t restrict us from enjoying the activity we’re are choosing, rather it...
winning-losingOctober 8, 2025
Sport, like life, has winners and losers. It’s always has and it always will. Despite the wishes of a seemingly blind new culture that wants to teach us “fairness” and insulate of from pain and failure, you will lose and things won’t always go your way. But that’s ok. You see, when we walk with C...
peaceOctober 7, 2025
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."”John 16:33 Do you ever feel like life is one problem after another?You make it through one issue, but before you can recover another one shoots up....
gratitudeOctober 6, 2025
I want to wrap up this discussion surrounding what comes out of our mouths with the idea of complaining. I’m guilty as charged and no matter how much I try to stop it, I still fail. Good news is God has been working on me and he’s given me an “out” and I’m getting better. Let me elaborate on what...
judgmentOctober 3, 2025
So, it seems We’ve made our way back around to a topic we discussed a few years ago. So I went back and found this for a nostalgic way to close out the week. Y’all remember the trend many years ago that we all wore in our arms and stuck bumper stickers on our cars that said, “WWJD”? (What would J...
anger-managementOctober 2, 2025
“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 to rip on someone...
surrenderOctober 1, 2025
What are you trying to hang on to that Jesus wants you to let go of, and turn it over to him for safekeeping? I’ve had to give up some things in my life that I thought I never could, but ultimately brought me closer to Christ. “This earth is not my home, I’m just passing through.” How many times...
missionSeptember 30, 2025
“And Jesus answered them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance."”Luke 5:31-32 You see, God sent His only son Jesus to Earth for primary purpose: to give us new life. In Luke, Jesus rewords His miss...
redemptionSeptember 29, 2025
“He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.”1 Peter 2:24-25 Have you ever gotten lost? It can be one o...
repentanceSeptember 26, 2025
“There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And he answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way? No, I tell you; but unless...
