Stretching and Growing Again

Six years ago, my book Following God onto the Stage: A 40-Day Devotional was released. In it, I share about how in 2015 (eight years ago!) I followed God in a challenge to push myself physically, as I readied for my first bodybuilding competition! Since then, I’ve competed 3 more times. And each time, I […]

What is Heaven and How Can We Have It?

Why Jesus – Day 16 Today’s Devotional Although I do believe there really was a Garden of Eden on this Earth, the word Eden is representative of Heaven because Eden means Paradise. And Paradise is the Presence of God, which is Heaven. So, when time first began, we were with God in Heaven, because we had […]

Righteous Judge

Why Jesus – Day 15 Today’s Devotional God is a Righteous Judge. Why do we need Jesus Christ? Why do we need God in the flesh to come to this earth and die for our sins? All of us sin and fall short of the glory of God. By justice alone, we do not deserve to […]

Forsaken for Our Sake

Why Jesus – Day 14 Today’s Devotional When Jesus was at the Garden of Gethsemane, He asked God to take this cup from Him. But then He said whatever your will is, I will do it. He was about to take the world’s sin and yes, it would be painful. Jesus took sin and was separated […]

Our High Priest

Why Jesus – Day 13 Today’s Devotional A lot of times people think that being tempted is sin, but it’s not. Even Jesus was tempted. We have an enemy who is constantly trying to bring us down and attack us. And he will tempt us with an array of things. But you don’t have to be. […]

On Earning God’s Promises

Why Jesus – Day 12 Today’s Devotional A lot of people try to earn God’s promises, thinking, “If I’m good enough, smart enough, read enough books, fill in the blank…or that I need to be whatever God needs me to be, then God will help.” That is just not the truth. You cannot earn God’s promises. […]

God’s Vantage Point

Why Jesus – Day 11 Today’s Devotional If we are so busy that we don’t sit and reflect on the spirit in us, we’re going to go through life and never really understand where we’re going and what’s around us. Are we making an impact? Are we being obedient to what the Holy Spirit is saying? […]
