You ever get the feeling sometimes that when we sin, that God has left you? Like the feeling you had when you were a kid and you got in trouble with your parents and they punished you and during that moment you felt like they have left you? I have for sure. But the thing is, that feeling that our...
faithJanuary 19, 2022
Look, I’ve talked about this many times before, but God continues to show me time and time again that He is in control, not me. No matter how many times I pray for something to happen or I try and drive a situation in my life the way I HAVE IT PLANNED, God always seems to reply in His way by show...
gods-purposeJanuary 18, 2022
“But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.”Jeremiah 29:7 God didn’t put you where you are by mistake. He doesn’t make mistakes. When we believe in our hearts God is good and that His though...
peaceJanuary 17, 2022
In my daily prayer with God 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 some hard times. Heck, I’m sure there may be some more during my earthly...
perseveranceJanuary 14, 2022
“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 times and how that will build perseverance, James tells us t...
wisdomJanuary 13, 2022
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. James is telling us to rejoice during our times of struggle because this faith produces perseverance. The Bible teaches us...
sufferingJanuary 12, 2022
So yesterday, Valerie was telling me about a friend and her bother and wife who were going trough some tough times, they got Covid. At the same time, I lost a friend in a motorcycle accident I met last summer. While I certainly feel empathy I couldn’t help but reflect on the fact the If you live...
forgivenessJanuary 11, 2022
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...
hopeJanuary 10, 2022
“So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light and momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen....
restorationJanuary 7, 2022
The definition of restore is to “bring back”, reinstate. Many of us are always working to restore our relationship with Christ. We are always coming back to seeking Him. But you see, God is always the pursuer of the lost and rebellious. God is always the pursuer, the seeker, the good shepherd in...
gratitudeJanuary 6, 2022
I read this last night and it bears repeating;“We don’t need to see things differently to be grateful; rather, we must be grateful to see things differently.”Wow, I need to read that. You see, God turns our gratitude into goodness, adds peace to our pain, and provides strength in our struggles. G...
faith-journeyJanuary 5, 2022
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, leaving a good job in Motorsports, joining his father and brother in busi...
gods-favorJanuary 4, 2022
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...
purposeJanuary 3, 2022
“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”Philippians 1:21 Are you living “in Christ”? What I mean is that are you living for the pleasure and joys of the flesh that this world offers or are you living as a servant of Christ. What do we really have to loose as Christians? Nothing in this...
stillnessDecember 31, 2021
“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. Selah”Psalms 46:10-11 I like this verse but what is it t...
transformationDecember 30, 2021
“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, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and...
peaceDecember 29, 2021
I had a great time at lunch with one of the member of our group yesterday and we got to talk about this devotional, keeping it going through my treatments and what I got out of it. Well, in short I just had to keep moving forward. Getting this out gave me purpose each morning to get up and not gi...
faithDecember 28, 2021
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...
blessingsDecember 27, 2021
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and you got it spend it with those you love. For most, this is a time of overwhelming blessings. “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 abo...
christmasDecember 24, 2021
“But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save h...
witnessingDecember 23, 2021
I know I’ve written about this before, but y’all remember the WWJD bracelets we use to wear?I’ve been reading about how we should watch what we say and how we act and this came to mind. What ever happened to it? Did we figure out what Jesus would do? Did we stop caring? Well, I think it would be...
anger-managementDecember 22, 2021
“Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.”James 1:19-20Seeking revenge or trash talking someone else when they hurt us is easy to do. We all have time everyday where someone has...
surrenderDecember 21, 2021
What are you trying to hang on to that Jesus wants you to let go of, and turn it over to him for safekeeping? I’ve had to give up some things in my life that I thought I never could, but ultimately brought me closer to Christ. “This earth is not my home, I’m just passing through.” How many times...
missionDecember 20, 2021
“And Jesus answered them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance."”Luke 5:31-32 You see, God sent His only son Jesus to Earth for primary purpose: to give us new life. In Luke, Jesus rewords His miss...
