Matt and Tracey

  People hate to think that they missed out on something really cool! However, sometimes they make bad decisions that costs them dearly for something that God had for them in the future. 

   Many Christians mistakenly think that they choose God. However, the exact opposite is true.  God is the one who reaches out to us and chooses us! 

   Trusting God for salvation seems much easier for most people than having to trust Him every day for all things.  

   As much as some people want to believe that everyone will make it to Heaven, that is just not true.  Hell is a very real place and people who end up there when they die want others to know how horrible it is.  They want to warn others about the reality of this place, but there is no going back to tell another.  People must make their decision for Jesus while they a...

   When the Bible talks about the Angel of the Lord it means that Jesus has just showed up!  This story is a really encouraging example of why we want to serve the Lord and how He is our protector!

    How hard is it to wait on an answer from God?  However, sometimes when God answers it is so fast that we aren't ready for it! 

  When you are serving God and keeping your eyes on Him, He will protect you like you could never believe or comprehend.  

   If you have a conflict, you normally know who it's with or what it's over.  However, we can be in a battle where we are focusing on the wrong enemy and issue.  How can anyone win a battle when they don't know who it is they are fighting?  Today Matt addresses the bottom line on conflict, and how to win this battle in your life that can arise almost daily.  

That is a question that I would have asked years before I became a Christian if someone asked me if I was saved.  Many times, even Christians don't understand what it is that they are saved from.  Matt and Tracey discuss this topic and a few other things on today's Mornings With Matt and Tracey.

  God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He never changes; however, He expects us to change!  How can that be?! Watch or listen to Matt explain this principle.  

  Have you ever heard the saying "Writing on the Wall"? Sometimes people use that old saying referring to either something so plain that is coming that you couldn't miss it, or they refer it to not doing something unless they see writing on the wall.  The saying came from a story in the Book of Daniel in chapter 5. Listen to this story and see how it can apply to your own life. &nbs...

The Bible is loaded with Promises from God for you and me, many times we don't even realize that they are there because we haven't spent enough time with the Lord and His Word.  Here is a great reminder of some of those promises straight from God!

  Pride can keep us from being silent, especially when we know someone is wrong. There are times when you just need to keep your mouth shut and let someone go on about something they know nothing about.  Why? Let Matt tell you in this devotional about not answering a fool. 

  Everything is fighting for our attention: the world, the flesh, the devil, and God.  The only one we should be paying attention to is God.  Matt goes over ways to keep our focus on what matters.  

  The world would tell you that everybody is doing it and it's no big deal. What is "it"?  "It" is watching porn, this is the latest most addictive drug that knows no boundaries.  Men, women, young, or old No one is immune or safe from this addiction.  What does the Bible say about it and how to stay away or break free from it? 

I have heard many questions over the years about what the Bible says about self defense, whether it is regarding hand to hand combat, mace or weapons.  This devotional goes over these concerns and clearly outlining what the Bible says about this topic. 

There are several things that God hates. There are several places within the Bible that iterates exactly what these things are.  Matt goes over a few of the those things that God not does not like, but He hates.  

Sometimes we are very short sighted in life.  We don't want to think about what the consequences might be when it comes to things that our flesh loves and longs for.  Listen to this great warning to stay away from those things that cause a lot of grief, hardship, and regret in our lives.  

   So many times we want to see signs from God confirming something great we have been praying for, but at other times we want to ignore anything that could be a sign from God that we are on the wrong path and need to get off of it.  God can bring calamity into our lives as a result of our sins and now we have drawn down the attention of God but are oblivious to it.  We li...

Have you ever heard the cliche Birds of a Feather Flock Together?  What does that mean? It basically means that who you hang out with says a lot about who you are.  Listen to this devotional for some great insights on this very topic. 

Many people are like a dam that holds back water in terms of dealing with others.  Once that dam has been broken and it is no longer regulating how much water is allowed to spill forth, a surge of uncontrollable water comes blasting through that dam.  Some people are the same way with their temper, they allow it to control them and a rush of anger overwhelms them and onto others.  &...

Are you wise or foolish? We all like to think of ourselves as wise, but not realize that we are actually foolish.  There is nothing worse than tricking yourself into thinking you are really one thing, when in actuality you are something completely different.  Your life will be the determiner of who you really are, not what you say you are.  God knows a person's heart better than the...

Do you want more from God? Sometimes that requires us listening to what God has already told us!  

Who are we to condemn others including ourselves?  Jesus came to set each one of us free from sin and to have a new life.  

Just as Jesus spoke a word into Lararus' life and he arose out of the grave, Jesus can also speak a word into your life and make things that seemed to be dead suddenly come to life!
