Devotional
New Beginnings
In the bible, the number seven represents the completion and perfection of things that are both physical and spiritual. 2017 was the 7th year MMTV streamed sportsman drag racing. While we have been streaming drag racing since 2006, MotorManiaTV was birthed in 2011. MotorManiaTV, just like Dragstory, was started at the direction of the Lord to be a company that represents Him in the Marketplace. Most of the time we get that right, sometimes we do not or our actions are mistaken for something they are not. When we get it wrong, we do our best to make it right and seek forgiveness.
Walking in the Darkness
It seems like the Lord has been silent the last few months as we’ve worked through a complete change in how our business operates. With us temporarily shutting down our second unit, we’ve had to do some serious soul searching on how to move forward. As always, the Lord has shown the way.
Transparent Living
3 John 1:3 ‘’It gave me great joy when some believers came and testified about your faithfulness to the truth, telling how you continue to walk in it.
One of the greatest tools I was given upon returning to the Father’s house was the need to live a transparent life. Nothing hidden, everything out in the open, always tell the truth.
Doing God’s Will
Prov. 3:5-6 ‘Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.’
The very first Sunday school classes I took, after I returned to the Father’s house, was taught from Henry Blackaby’s ‘Experiencing God’. Out of everything I heard in that course, I remember the following principle. When seeking God’s will, He will guide you in these ways: through the Bible, prayer, fellow Christ followers (the body of believers you have surrounded yourself with) and the circumstances of life. While the first three are easy to understand, what does ‘the circumstances of life’ mean?
It’s A Wonderful Life – A New Year Message
In 1946 the movie, It’s a Wonderful Life, was released with mediocre results and reviews. It looked like it would never make any money and was deemed a box office failure. While the movie may not have seen initial success, it has become a staple of the American Christmas season, loved by millions and a classic must see movie each December.
The Way of the Cross
As we prepare for the last event of the 2017 season on MMTV, we also prepare for the new year. This is the time of the year when reflection is utmost in peoples minds. Most are taking inventory of their year and starting to plan for the one ahead of them. While we do reflect on the past and look forward to the future, as Christ followers we have a different focus, one of gratitude for all the Lord has done for us and a giddy anticipation of what the Lord has for our future.
Real Customer Service
Talk is cheap…action speak louder than words. While it never hurts to do the ‘wind work’, as my grandpa use to say, when it’s time to get the job done, then it’s time to stop talking and put your shoulder to the plow and get after it. That’s how I was raised.
