Let Your Light Shine: Living a Changed Life
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
Eternal Security: Once Saved, Always Saved
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...

Standing in Grace: Peace and Endurance
“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: Choose Your Circle Wisely
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: Feelings vs Christ-Centered Living
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
Past as Reference, Not Residence: Overcoming Fear
1/18/19So I’ve been thinking lately as I’m coming up on another year on this rock and reflecting on the past, both good and bad. And one of the things I keep coming back to is what and why I feared some of the things I’ve been through and survived and what or why would I fear what’s ahead of me....
- Pride
Defeating Pride: Making Thoughts Obey Christ
G’mornin’...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 open lives?We need to be careful with our thoughts. Some of th...
- Giving
Give in Secret: True Philanthropy of the Heart
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...
- Self Judgment
God Weighs the Heart: Beyond Our Own Judgment
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
Overcoming Fear Through Fellowship and Community
We’ve talked about having Faith for the past couple of days now and I’d like to close the week by 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, w...
- Faith
Believing vs Faith - Perfect Love Casts Out Fear
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...
- Gods Thoughts
Aligning Your Thoughts With God's Perfect Ways
So, as I think about letting God restart my heart, I am asking myself, “restart is from what exactly?”Well, for me I think is understanding that my understanding and thoughts about any situation I am facing is nowhere near a perfect ad God’s thoughts...“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neit...
- Regrets
Don't Regret Your Regrets - Learn From Them
You know, sometimes I think back on my life and cringe at some of the mistakes I’ve made. Regrets, we all have them. It may be something you wish you hadn’t done, or a missed opportunity where you didn’t take action and wish that you had. It might be something that was done to you; you were the v...
- New Year
Let God Restart Your Heart This New Year
Happy New Year!Well I hope everyone had a great New Years! I’m excited to get back on track for 2021! So, I’ve been trolling through social media and looking at all the New Years resolutions, etc. and it’s pretty funny. Not funny because people are trying to better themselves, lose weight, etc. i...

Faithful Wounds: Receiving Truth Without Offense
Yeah today is New Years Eve, but in reality its just the day before tomorrow. Don’t get me wrong, I’m ready to see “2020” go just as much as the next guy because I could have done better. I’m not saying I didn’t have many blessings to be thankful for this year, I did. I’m just saying in some area...
- Social Media
God's Measuring Stick vs. Social Media Likes
I’m sure I’m not the only one who plays on social media in this group. Because I know most of you I can safely make this statement with confidence! Ha! 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 a...
- Communication
Conversations That Bring Out the Best in Others
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...
- Offense
Breaking the Cycle: From Offended to Unoffendable
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...
- Christmas
Immanuel: God's Greatest Christmas Gift
It’s Christmas Eve and by now, us guys, we should be getting started on the Christmas Shopping! But seriously, Christmas is a great time for family, giving and sharing the “Christmas Spirit”! But are we stopping to soak in what Christmas is all about? I mean, we all know that it is a celebration...
- Spiritual Growth
More Than a Spiritual Rinse
Sometimes I like to look back at what we were talking about and where my mind was on this date a year or even two years ago. Well, this was great and I wanted to share it again...flashback Wednesday? Ha!12/23/19So, as I was washing my race bike on Saturday following a great practice session, for...
- Wisdom
The Power of Restraint in Words
So I dipped my toe into a debate with someone who without solicitation started attacking me for my opinions and beliefs. I say, “dipped my toe” because right after thinking what I should say in my defense, I thought better of it. No amount of me “being right” was going to change this persons view...
- Integrity
Living with True Integrity
What is integrity and do you have it? Are you living a life of integrity? I pray I am, and I try. Integrity is hard to define. Most would say it’s doing whats moral and ethically right and having people view us as trustworthy and good. Not all wrong, but I think incomplete. True integrity is simp...
- Gratitude
Grateful Hearts and God's Faithfulness
I am so grateful for each of you. I’m feeling it and I want to talk about it. The last couple days I have had the chance to communicate with a few of you and you have filled my heart with happiness because you told me you look forward each morning to our little devotional. This makes me smile and...
- Timing
The Right Words at the Right Time
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 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 ti...
