Well I hope everyone had a great 4th of July holiday and I hope you took pause to reflect on how blessed we are to live in such a great country.

Wrapping up a short week, let finish this lesson in James. “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 t...

Praying for Wisdom, Not Escape from Trials
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.

Finding Joy in Trials: God's Shaping Through Suffering
Going to be a short week with the Holiday and travels but let’s make it count. So over the weekend Valerie was telling me about a friend who was going trough some tough times.

Mastering 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...

Infinite Possibilities in Christ Despite Our 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...

Your Habits Don't Define You - Christ Does
“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 from Addictive Patterns Through God's Grace
I’m feeling it today! 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. Ou...

Be Still and Know That God's Got This
Over the weekend, I noticed a tattoo my friend had; “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. Se...

Finding Peace in the Journey, Not the Destination
“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 end of the quarter and I found myself slipping in and out what I call my “peace” or “serenity” yesterday. It gave me pause to th...

Planting Seeds, Moving Mountains
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...

Using Your Blessings to Make Disciples
9“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 28:19 So let talk about these blessing we’ve been given. I got to thinking more about why, at certain times, we feel we are blessed more than others. And by “o...

Every Good Gift Comes from Above
I hope you all had a great weekend and for all you fathers out there, you were able to spend a day doing what you wanted. I had a successful weekend in VA racing but it caused me pause to reflect on some things. Over two days of racing I won 10/12 races or “tests”. The two I lost were from a hard...

Finding Purpose in the Mundane Monday
It’s Friday! I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for the weekend. This has been one of those weeks full of “are you serious?”, and “Hello, anybody home?!”. Lol. But, hey that’s work sometimes, right?We are very blessed to do what we do. And there are many out there who don’t have the “work” and...
- Forgiveness
Choose Love 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...

What Are You Waiting For? Step Out in Faith
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 and trusting God to lead the way. I’m super excited for him too, God’s got...

If God Is for Us, Who Can Be Against Us?
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, He's My Brother
I bet you wouldn’t think I would write about Neil Diamond would you? Well, I am...sort of. Stay with me here;I believe that the Lord Jesus wants me to encourage you to look after your friendships and not neglect them, nor take them for granted!We need each other, especially in these turbulent tim...

The Power of Forgiveness and Reconciliation
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...

True Heroism: Finding Identity Beyond Accomplishments
This past weekend was somewhat disappointing 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...bu...

Winning the Race That Matters: Eternal Perspective
Sport, like life, has winners and loser. 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 Ch...

Hold Your Line: Faith Lessons from Motocross
One of the great things I love about sport, and in my case Motocross, is the parallels I can draw from it that relate to my life and more important my faith. pAs I am packing to leave for Florida in the morning I am overcome with anxiety and excitement! This is the chance to punch a ticket to “Th...

The Deadly Trap of Lying: Truth as God's Lifeline
Why do people tell lies? 🤷🏻♂️Well, that’s easy. Because lying might enable guilty people to escape responsibility and consequences for their misdeeds. Because lying might preserve the illusion of their innocence. Because lying helps the sinner avoid having to face up to the ugly and soul-pollu...

What Would Jesus Do? Witnessing Without Judging
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 Jesus Do)I’ve been reading about how we should watch what we say and how we act and this came to mind. Why ever happened to it? Did we figure out what Jesus wo...
