Success Redefined: God's Way vs. World's Way
Close your eyes for a minute and imagine that you’re continuing down your current path with your current definition of success. You see it? Stay with me. You keep working as hard as you’re working. And you keep prioritizing the things you’re prioritizing. What’s your life look like in say 5 years...

God Uses Your Past: From Weakness to Strength
So, today I was asked by one our members on this devotional if I was “hung up on the past”? My response was that I was quite the opposite. You see my past, good, bad or indifferent, has helped shape the person God has made me today. It’s is MY testimony, it’s MY story. I firmly believe that God u...

From the Pit to the Rock: A New Song
“He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.”Psalms 40:2-3 I have a past, I have a present and God’s promis...

When We Get Angry with God
Why do we sometimes get frustrated or angry with God? Let’s face it, we all do it. We lose a job promotion, a race didn’t go our way, we experience a death in the family, personal injury or financial hardships. This list is long...we all have them. Life’s hard. "God, why did you let that happen?"...

Bringing Hope to a Skeptical World
We sure live in a world of skepticism and doubt. I mean just turn on the news, either side, FOX or CNN, they’re all out there. As I like to say, “What this world needs is some Jesus!” People just don’t believe in much of anything anymore. They mock it all. All social institutions are viewed as in...

Quick to Listen, Slow to Anger
So driving back from racing Sunday night, my buddy and I got talking about how we all fall into the trap of reacting to quickly and loudly when things aren’t going our way. We’re all imperfect, it’s ok, you can admit it. We all do it. In James we are told;“Know this, my beloved brothers: let ever...

God's Guidance After Life's Disappointments
This weekend, the promoters decided to throw out a test/moto that cost me the OA win on Saturday. While it affected me negatively, and was a huge bummer, it helped some. But I laid it on God to right my heart and he did. I’ve made the decision to stop wasting time with things that keep me from be...

Think for a Change
Could things be the way they are because you are the way you are? What one thing can you change that can change everything? It’s simple. If you want to change, you change the way you think. So many people want to have a better life, but they continuously do the same thing over and over. So many p...

Believing for the Impossible
So, I’m keeping with where we want to be this year, God wants us to ask Him to get involved! Yeah baby!He wants us to believe for the impossible because it requires us to surrender control and give Him the room to work in & through us! If we can see it in the supernatural, He can do it in the nat...

Living Intentionally for Today

Whatever the answers are to those questions, know this: God’s calling you to live in the NOW & st...

Freedom Through Forgiveness
Hope everyone had a great weekend! So, last night while my wife was watching The Oscars, I was going through some older devotionals and I came across something I wrote or shared a while ago. It’s definitely worth sharing again.“Harboring unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the oth...

What Is Faith Really?
We talk about our faith everyday. We lean on our faith to get through everyday. Our faith gives us hope. But what is Faith really?In Hebrews it tells us;“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”Hebrews 11:1 That’s it! It’s believing in something we canno...

Why We're Still Here After Salvation
You know, its the most amazing gift knowing we have been saved and promised eternal life in Heaven. But have you ever wondered why we are still here since we’ve been saved and promised salvation? I have, to the extent I find myself anxiously awaiting my turn. But I think I know why we are still h...

True Joy Comes from God's Favor
“Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!”Psalms 32:11 One of the the best parts about being an American is you have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But you see, being an American or The government can’t “give you happine...

The Difference Between Knowledge and God's Wisdom
You know, I enjoy every minute of these devotionals I write and share every day. My prayer is that God blesses me with the knowledge and the wisdom to share His message in a meaningful and relatable way. I hope I am doing just that...But what is knowledge and wisdom after all? I’d say knowledge i...

The Awesome Power of God's Forgiveness
Forgiveness is awesome"I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, 'I will confess my transgressions to the LORD'--and you forgave the guilt of my sin" Psalm 32:5You see, time doesn’t heal all wounds and it certainly won’t cancel all debts. I think we all know by now th...

Stop Carrying Guilt - Let Jesus Have It
You know, we try all sorts of behaviors to stop feeling guilt. We stay obsessively busy. We distract ourselves with constant amusements. We try to work it off with good deeds. We rationalize away responsibility. We blame other people. We can sedate ourselves with drugs or alcohol or food. But gue...

God Knows You and Loves You Without End
God knows you, he made you. So who are trying to kid? Why are we trying to hide from God? He can read our mind... “You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar.”Psalms 139:2 He knows how great our imperfections and failings are, and it was for just such a person...

This is God's World, Not Ours
You know, it’s tough when things don’t go the way we think they will. All of us struggle every day to try to get control of our environments. We try to build financial wealth so that we won't suffer need. We try to take care of our health so we don't feel pain or suffer illness. We try to manage...

Forgiveness is a Choice, Not a Feeling
I kind of want to stay on forgiveness a little longer. It seems the world is just out for revenge or quick to blame one party or the next....blah, blah, blah, you get the point. I mean sometimes we might hesitate to forgive someone because we don’t feel very forgiving toward them. We might still...

You Don't Deserve It, But God Gives It Anyway
I don’t know about you, but I get the “I don’t deserve this...” feeling a lot when I think about what God has done for me and my life. His salvation alone can be bewildering at times. It’s the opinion we have about ourselves and our past or present. You see, we have one set of convictions about o...

Letting Go of the Old: True Repentance Brings Refreshing
You know, thinking about our past and learning to let God show us a new way of life has me thinking about repentance. We all have stuff in our lives that we are still holding on to. For some, it’s a secret activity or habit that nobody else knows about. But it’s time to let it go...What is it for...
