The Danger of Believing in Yourself
I had a great conversation recently with one of my friends recently 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 e...

Finding God's Peace in Hard Times
Wow, November already…So, I did me some thinking over the weekend about my daily prayer with God and 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...

Finding Non-Anxious Presence Like Jesus
So I’ve been reading and writing about “finding peace” of and on for a year now. To me, it is one of the most essential parts of my relationship with Christ. My vision of Jesus, in part, is peace. But I have learned recently about a phrase that young students in seminary school are taught and tha...

Defined by Hope, Not Mistakes
Listen, I’ve been rambling on for the past week about our bad habits and how God can remove them from us and restore us. So check this out;“Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I...

No Condemnation in Christ Jesus
“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...

Breaking Free: Leaving Your Old Self Behind
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...

Finding Peace in the Middle of Life's Storm
“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....

Using Your Blessings to Share God's Grace
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...

Monday Motivation: Finding Purpose in Your Daily Work
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...

Perfect Peace in Imperfect Times: God Meets Us in Trials
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...

If God Be For Us: Living in Faith and Obedience
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...

He Ain't Heavy: The Call to Bear One Another's Burdens
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...

The Secret of True Heroes: Walking in Humility
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...

From Complaining to Gratitude: Transforming Our Words
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...

WWJD: The Difference Between Judging and Witnessing
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...

Battling Pride, Lust, and Entitlement
“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.”Philippians 2:3 ESVSo, we all have to deal with pride, lust and entitlement to some degree. Some more in one area than others. But to be able to deal with the weak areas of our life we nee...

Running the Race: The Reward of Endurance
I’ve been writing about persevering the last couple of days and reading about the struggle on Earth and the eternal reward in Heaven. For most of my life I raced motocross, most of you know that. But I’ve never received a medal with out running the race. No successful business person or entrepren...

Learning Contentment in Every Circumstance
I’m totally entrenched in our topic we started last week and I want to wrap it up with a simple question? How quickly can you or do you bounce back from hardship and loss? Maybe it paralyses you into a depressed state? The key is learning to press on in life regardless of your adverse circumstanc...

The Power of Our Thoughts: Breaking Free from Depression
So, today marks the six year anniversary of a good friend of mine who tried to take his life. He was a well know athlete in the action sports world and his attempt has left him an invalid. He suffered from the silent killer, depression. Depression is real and when people suffer from it, it’s to b...

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear: Overcoming Worry with Faith
I’m sure I’m like the rest of us when I say I’m bad about fear and worry. No matter how much I KNOW my life is in Gods hands and he always provides, I still get caught in worry. When that happens, I think we are not necessarily driving God away, but we are certainly keeping him at bay. “There is...

“Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?"”John 11:25-26 That’s really all there is to it, isn’t it? I mean, just believe that Jesus died for yo...

Walking in Integrity: Living God's Higher Standard

Our goal s...

Trusting God's Goodness When Life Gets Hard
We will all face those times in our lives when we question whether or not God is on our side. In September of 2016, I was seriously injured doing what I love, racing motocross. I broke my jaw requiring plates and screws and my back at the T5,6&7. While the weather was great that fall, I was laid...
