“And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.”1 Peter 5:10 I love this verse from Peter. You see, Peter is telling us that all Christians are going to suffer and i...
life-changeMarch 6, 2020
You know, a lot of time we want to change the way we are living our life. Sometimes is a career change, where we are physically or just where we are spiritually. But how do we get there? How do you move from where you are to where you want to go? Well, this first thing we need to do is seek God’s...
justificationMarch 5, 2020
I’ve been thinking the last couple of days about the journey we have been on together and some of the topics I chase down a rabbit hole. Not that I think they’re necessarily bad topics or irrelevant, I just think it’s good to get back to center. Level set, if you will. So, with that being said, I...
commitmentMarch 4, 2020
How committed are you? What I mean is, do you fear the journey for failure or do you lack the ability to commit to something or someone because you’re quick to take the easier path or better option?I’m asking these questions today because I see a lot of non-committed people in this world today. P...
failureMarch 3, 2020
“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”Romans 8:28 ESVThat is without a doubt, one of my most favorite verses in the Bible...“Everything happens for a reason”,“What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger”, “Embrace...
fearlessnessMarch 1, 2020
Most of ya’ll who know me well know one of my favorite things to do in the world is ride motocross. I’m telling you, it’s the greatest feeling out there! Yet amongst all the fun, there are times where the track test me way beyond my limits. Moto has truly taught me how to be a true risk-taker. Th...
courageFebruary 28, 2020
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."”Joshua 1:9 Some people seem to play life so safe against risk that they have little or no strength left to pursue their dreams and accomplish thei...
trialsFebruary 27, 2020
The hard times you’ve been through, the ones your going through now and the ones you will go through are not for nothing. So don’t complain. “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,”James 1:2 Look, I know it’s hard and I fail at it too, but we need to learn to dignif...
vengeanceFebruary 26, 2020
So, I’m watching this Netflix series my cousin got me into and I really like it. It’s a Western and I’ve always liked a good Western. But last night while I was watching it, my wife asked why the main guy was trying to kill all these specific soldiers. I told her it’s because he was seeking venge...
wisdomFebruary 25, 2020
As I’ve grown older and I hope wiser, I’ve learned quite a few things that I couldn’t have accepted in my youth. One of the most glaringly obvious to me now, is I could never have gotten where I am today both professionally and personally without the help and counsel of others and the word of God...
gods-purposeFebruary 24, 2020
Despite our sometimes dissatisfaction of where we are in our life currently, God has us right where He wants us for a reason. Look, I’m as guilt as the next for daydreaming and looking at other pastures thinking they are greener. But I’m not who or where I am by accident. Neither are you...You se...
worldlinessFebruary 21, 2020
Ok, I’m going to, as the kids say, “get real” for a minute. Too often I allow myself to think in ways that lead me to act contrary to God’s Word. What exactly do I mean? Simple, I like you maybe, can easily get caught up in what the world around me says is ok and acceptable. What is “normal” thes...
prayerFebruary 20, 2020
How often do you find yourself picking up the phone and calling close friends, colleagues, family, etc. when we have a big decision to make? If you’re like me, probably a lot!Crazy to think sometimes the last thing we do when we face obstacles is consult God’s Word. We turn to other people for ad...
decision-makingFebruary 19, 2020
It’s hard making big decisions in life. Often times we put it off or because we are so afraid we don’t make them at all. But in those circumstances that demand a grown up response, those who trust in God can look to him for guidance. That’s the only way I know how to make them. In the Bible David...
christian-livingFebruary 18, 2020
What are you doing? I don’t mean what are you doing right now, clearly you’re reading this...but what are you doing in your life and how are you dong it?I ask myself this question a lot. I ask it not in relation to my career or anything, I ask myself this as it pertains to what am I doing and how...
worryFebruary 17, 2020
My dad had asked me last year if I was doing ok. The reason he asked is he was in this morning devotional and he said it appeared to him that I might be hanging on the the past a little to much. Well, we talked about it for a while and I was able to put his concerns to rest because I told him I f...
letting-goFebruary 14, 2020
So as I was looking around through my notes attempting to find the illusive password that makes some IMAP thingy work for my email on my phone that conveniently quit working on its own, I came across this note I wrote down in 2017...A The basic rule in Biblical personal growth is that the life we...
decision-makingFebruary 13, 2020
You know, we hear a lot about what people who have done wrong and whether or not someone is guilty or not. Just turn on the news and you can have your fill in just about a minute! But here is something I’ve been thinking about and I think it bears discussing. It’s the decision making process wher...
discipleshipFebruary 12, 2020
“He must increase, but I must decrease."”John 3:30 You feel me? What are we doing here? What is reading the Bible, prayer, and Christianity all about? It’s about loving God and others, right? It’s following Jesus. If that sums up your faith, then think about this question: What does it actually m...
purposeFebruary 11, 2020
You know, in my ongoing search to be a better person, I would always ask God to help me become “a better man.” Funny thing is, I wasn’t exactly sure what that meant. I just knew that it wasn’t who I was feeling I was inside. Well, a funny thing happened...You see, while I was searching and hoping...
perseveranceFebruary 10, 2020
Life keeps going doesn’t it? I love the saying, “you’ve survived 100% of everything you’ve gone through so far, so there’s a good chance you’re going to make it through this...”The things you go through make you unique. Everyone goes through good times, like having a fun day with someone we love....
forgivenessFebruary 7, 2020
Taking forgiveness into the weekend I just want to say, forgiveness is not easy. But no matter how many times a person hurts you, you got to forgive them without limit. I know, I get it, but we have to. To forgive doesn’t mean to forget. You don’t have to reconcile with the person that wronged yo...
forgivenessFebruary 6, 2020
One of my most favorite topics to discuss is forgiveness. If you’ve been in this devotional journey with me for the last year and a half, you know I like to talk about it. But why you may ask? Well, it’s forgiveness that has given us the hope for an eternal life with our maker and it’s forgivenes...
spiritual-warfareFebruary 4, 2020
“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while...
