The end times can be very confusing regarding what is going to take place and when those events are going to occur. But there is one thing about the end times that is very clear...... (Thanks to John MacArthur for help on this subject)

 How many of you find that you are in the presence of God regularly? If so, how does that affect your life? If you are not in the presence of God, why is that so? "Praising in the presence of God is precious."

Why do we suffer? Everyone does at some point in their live and most of the times, we suffer a lot in varying degrees in our lives. Is it to hurt us, punish us, discipline us, make us stronger, or more mature?? Listen to the last message on Ep 803 also to get the full picture.

In case you are not aware these podcasts are taken from my Facebook Live chapel services every week. They are usually recorded in the worst possible places. Haha. The race track, my trailer, outside on my bike, in my truck, in my bedroom, in my other trailer, and in someone's home are the places where the recordings occur. That is why my recordings are not pristine. I hope, though, that the truth...

Keep going! Feel like quitting? Keep going! Depressed? Keep going! Overwhelmed? Keep going? Do you feel like you can't handle everything that is on your plate? Keep going! If God has called you to do what all that is going on in your life and you are struggling, keep going! Don't quit! You can make it with Jesus.

Part 2of2 Paul is finishing this letter and he like a father is encouraging this wonderful church to keep doing better. He gives them a list of things to work on so they don't become stagnant. He wants them to not get sidetracked with their doing well and exhorts them to continue to mature in their faith.

God is so patient! He is patient w/ His people and He is patient w/ sinners. But there will come a time and His patience w/ sinners will stop. The Day of the Lord will be that day. Are you ready? Are you in the LIGHT?

Do you understand the value of being with God? Are you too busy to get a lone with God? Are you too busy serving God to be alone with God? If you are alone with God, do you know what to do?

Wake up! Don't fall asleep or the enemy will find you and get you. Put on Jesus, put on His armor and keep going for Him. The enemy is real and you cannot see him. So, pay attention, watchout, and stay in the presence of Jesus. 

It would be unimaginable that in our racing, a racer wins the championship, comes into the paddock to celebrate the victory, and gets awarded the trophy, and no one is there. It's a ghost town. It would be alarming and sad. The rider puts in a whole season of hard work and wins; at the end, no one celebrates with Him. The same happens with Jesus. Take a listen. What do you think?

(Sorry for some erratic themes and untimely postings - I have been in a Master's Program. It takes up all my time and more! Ha! I love it, but other things are suffering until Oct 2025 - Thanks for your patience.) Sin gets us. It gets us because we let it happen. We walk around it, then stand by it, and then we sit with it and let it do its work. Nor more...

(Sorry for some erratic themes and untimely postings - I have been in a Master's Program. It takes up all my time and more! Ha! I love it, but other things are suffering until Oct 2025 - Thanks for your patience.) Is there anything more important than Jesus? Your answer is probably no, and you would be correct. But our lives, our time management, our ministry, our marriages, etc., do not support w...

(Sorry for some erratic themes and untimely postings - I have been in a Master's Program. It takes up all my time and more! Ha! I love it, but other things are suffering until Oct 2025 - Thanks for your patience.) What happened in this message has never happened before and will never happen again. My wife, Dawn, and I have talked about it a lot. There were lots of lessons learned and a lot of mini...

(Sorry for some erratic themes and untimely postings - I have been in a Master's Program. It takes up all my time and more! Ha! I love it, but other things are suffering until Oct 2025 - Thanks for your patience.) God is UNSTOPPABLE. He will return at some point, and no one can stop what is coming next. They will try, but their weapons will have no effect. Trust God. He is perfect and...UNSTOPPABL...

I remember being warned by a mentor when I got out of Bible School and into ministry. He said there are two things that will probably haunt you your whole ministry and life: sex and money. He was right. They are constant temptations. He also told me that if I could keep people out of my life, ministry would go way smoother! Haha! He was joking, of course. Sexual purity is essential. Self-control i...

Does anyone look forward to a review? NOT ME!? What kind of review did this church get and how were they challenged? 

Have you ever felt like quitting something you know you should be doing. The waves get too high. The pressure is too intense. The obstacles are too overwhelming. You can't quit. You can't. God has a plan for you and HE will help you succeed. Keep moving forward and see how God will take care of you.

As Paul shared his heart and love for the church at Thessalonica so I share my heart and love for our racing community.

Is there any other choice!? Go big or go home! Go after God with all you have or go home and sit on the fence and live a mediocre life.

Are you an encourager? Do you like to exhort people or come alongside them to help? It is an excellent gift if you do. How you coach people and direct them is essential. The Apostle Paul leaves us a great example of how to do this. This will be a good time to sharpen your spiritual coaching skills.

We all lead in one way, shape, or form. Leadership is not easy but it is OH so important. When I first read this passage I thought to myself that I had no idea what I was going to do with these verses. Then LEADERSHIP became very clear and the Holy Spirit led me to share what's in this podcast. If there are mistakes, that's me. If there is anything GREAT, that is the Holy Spirit. 

How is your reputation? When people hear your name, what do they think?

We all love to hear that we are doing a good job. It is encouraging, and it tells us that we are usually heading in the right direction. The church at Thessalonica was doing fantastic work for God, and the Apostle Paul was very grateful for their faithfulness. But there was a reason they were doing great. The same reason they were doing great, we can be doing great. First and Second Thessalonians...

During the Winter, I travel often, visiting people from the racing family. I spend time w/ racers at their surgeries. I see them in their homes and perform baptisms, memorial services, and weddings. It is an excellent opportunity to get to know those in the racing family better. For me, it is a trip of love. l Cor 13 gives us the most excellent direction on how to love all people. It is good, but...
