I’d like to call today’s devotional, “The Mic Drop!”Wow, just let this sink in this morning...“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inh...
friendshipDecember 3, 2018
“"He who withholds kindness from a friend forsakes the fear of the Almighty.”Job 6:14 In the Bible we are told that during Job’s time of grieving, his three friends came to mourn with him and to comfort him. For the first 7 days they sat and wept with him because he was in deep sorrow (Job 2:11-1...
comparisonNovember 30, 2018
We live in a competitive world and it’s easy to fall into what I call the “comparison trap”. We all get caught in it sometimes, some more than others. Admittedly, I fall into it a lot. Wanting what others have is the ultimate thief of joy and will leave you in utter disappointment with your life....
stormsNovember 29, 2018
The storms of our lives prove the strength of our anchor...“Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." So we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?"”Hebrews 13:...
prayerNovember 28, 2018
“Nobody stands as tall as a Christian on his knees”I love this anonymous quote. It reminds me to spend time on my knees and thank the Lord for all his blessings and forgiveness. I need it. And because I need it (forgiveness), and because he gave it, I am filled with His grace. God has me covered...
forgivenessNovember 27, 2018
I’ve begun to see a recurring theme in the messages I write each day and the scripture I study. A theme of forgiveness, servanthood, and unconditional mercy and grace seem to be repeated. But why?Well, it’s been the same message for thousands of years and it’s a message we need to hear today. You...
fearNovember 26, 2018
I’m sorry for missing last week but I was out of town and had zero internet and data...It was wonderful! So, I went back to Race the Winter Nationals, 2nd largest Amateur Race in the US, where I was seriously injured a year ago. I had to face my fears and “get back on that horse”...How do I go ba...
anxietyNovember 16, 2018
Man, I’ve gotten a lot out of this weeks word and I hopeYou have two, I’ve needed it. It’s helped me take time from worry and refocus my attention in the word (writing this devotional every day was huge) and things of Gods truths. It’s been a roller coaster of anxiety but I feel better that it’s...
peaceNovember 15, 2018
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”John 14:27 You don’t need to be a mariner to experience a perfect storm. In fact, you’ve undoubtedly already faced a few in your lifetime. I know...
anxietyNovember 14, 2018
I have been going through some serious struggles of late that has had me wound up pretty tight. I am praying for peace and some help as the anxiety has been rough. This weeks study couldn’t have come at a better time...I’m trying my best. “casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for y...
self-controlNovember 13, 2018
In time of struggle, how reasonable are you? Do you control your reaction and are you well tempered?“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 “Let your gentleness be known to ever...
anxietyNovember 12, 2018
One of my favorite authors is Max Lucado. If you haven’t read any of his books, I highly recommend. Sometimes, I will share a direct writing from what I am reading or studying. The following is from Max Lucado’s, Anxious for Nothing. “Anxiety is a meteor shower of what-ifs. What if I don’t close...
gods-planNovember 9, 2018
“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the eart...
forgivenessNovember 7, 2018
“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”John 8:36 Jesus died on the cross for you and I. He set us free from from the price of sin and death. But what does it really mean to be “free indeed”?We all have people in our lives who have hurt us verbally, emotionally, physically, and/or...
sharing-gospelNovember 6, 2018
So, I’ve been thinking today about how I am sharing God’s message and if it is reaching those who need it and what people are doing with what I am sending...Paul didn't know how the people in Corinth would respond to the Gospel, but his purpose was clear. He had the opportunity to share Jesus. Ho...
humilityNovember 5, 2018
“Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”Philippians 2:3-4 What are we doing here? What is reading the Bible, prayer, and Christianity all a...
graceNovember 2, 2018
We can learn a lot from Paul...“For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, bu...
faithNovember 1, 2018
We need the think back on the times when God has been there and pulled us through...this can help give us the confidence that he will be there for us again, always. “And David said, "The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of t...
perseveranceOctober 31, 2018
This life isn’t easy, in fact it’s hard. We all have struggled and we all have failed but we must move on...“Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my...
multiplicationOctober 29, 2018
“For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each." And they did so, and had them all sit down. And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing over them. Then he broke the loaves and ga...
loveOctober 26, 2018
Traveling today, so I’m sorry I’ve missed today. Have a great weekend and we will get back at it Monday!“"But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.”Luke 6:27-28 ESVPeace,
mind-renewalOctober 25, 2018
Our lives are driven by our most strongest thoughts, both positive and negative. “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”Romans 12:2“Finally, brothers, wha...
evangelismOctober 24, 2018
What are you really into? What do you spend most your time thinking and talking about?Most that know me would say that I’m really into racing motocross and action sports. But is that what they will say when I’m gone? I hope not. I hope I’m remembered as a man who also talked about his love of Jes...
humility-characterOctober 23, 2018
It seems like every time I open up social media or watch TV, there are posts about self help, self talk, the inner self, love yourself...blah blah blah. While there’s nothing wrong with wanting to better ourselves, God has plans for us. But all this “self” gets misconstrued when we describe a lif...
