BE THE MICHAEL JORDAN OF YOUR WALK

In this conversation with Nate, George, and I use Michael Jordan as an example of what our walk with Jesus should look like. Michael Jordan didn’t become one of the greatest basketball players of all time by only working on the things he was already good at. He recognized weaknesses in his game and went to work on them until those weaknesses became strengths.

What if we approached our walk with Jesus the same way?

It’s easy to stay in the areas where we’re comfortable. But what about the places where we know we need to grow? Maybe it’s forgiveness. Maybe it’s patience. Maybe it’s controlling our tongue, walking in love, spending time in the Word, renewing our mind, or learning to trust God instead of immediately reacting to our circumstances.

Recognizing an area of weakness isn’t condemnation. It’s an opportunity for growth.

Paul wrote, “I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 3:14 AMP

Spiritual maturity doesn’t happen accidentally. We spend time in the Word. We renew our minds. We deny ourselves. We learn to walk in the Spirit. And when the Holy Spirit reveals an area that isn’t lining up with who we are in Christ, we don’t ignore it or make excuses for it. We go to work allowing the Word of God to transform our thinking and our lives.

An athlete will spend countless hours developing his game for something temporary. How much more should we be willing to invest in something eternal?

Don’t run from the areas where you’re weak. Take them to Jesus. Get into His Word. Allow the Holy Spirit to teach you, correct you and strengthen you.

Be the Michael Jordan of your walk.

Find the weaknesses. Go to work. Keep growing. Keep pressing forward.

Not to earn God's love or righteousness, but because of who you already are in Christ.

RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A GIFT

This morning’s devotion was a pride buster!!!

In Luke 18:9, Jesus told a parable to those who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and looked down on others. That connection is powerful because self-righteousness doesn’t only affect how we see ourselves. It eventually affects how we see everyone around us.

When our righteousness is based on our own performance, comparison becomes almost inevitable. We begin measuring ourselves against other people. I pray more. I study more. I serve more. I don’t struggle with what they struggle with. Before long, comparison produces judgment, and we begin elevating ourselves by focusing on the failures of others.

But when we truly understand grace, comparison loses its power.
“Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded.” — Romans 3:27 AMP

There is nothing wrong with obedience. Our actions matter. How we live matters. Holiness matters. But our obedience is not what makes us righteous before God. We could never perform well enough to earn right standing with Him. Righteousness is something we receive through faith in Jesus Christ. Our obedience is how we walk out the gift of righteousness through Jesus..

“He made Christ who knew no sin to [judicially] be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we would become the righteousness of God [that is, we would be made acceptable to Him and placed in a right relationship with Him by His gracious lovingkindness].” — 2 Corinthians 5:21 AMP

That changes everything.

I don’t obey God in an attempt to become righteous. I obey God because in Christ I have been made righteous. My obedience should flow from my relationship with Him, not from an attempt to prove that I am better than someone else.

And this is where pride gets confronted. If righteousness is a gift, what do I have to brag about? If my right standing with God is based upon what Jesus did rather than what I did, how can I look down upon someone else? The person I may be tempted to judge needs the same Jesus, the same grace and the same gift of righteousness that I needed.

Paul wrote in Romans 5:17 about those who “receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness.” Righteousness isn’t a trophy awarded to the Christian who performs better than everyone else. It is a gift received through faith in Jesus Christ.

Self-righteousness produces comparison. Comparison produces judgment. But grace produces humility. The more we understand what Jesus has done for us, the less room there is for boasting about ourselves and the more reason we have to boast in Him.
Righteousness is not something we achieve. It is something we receive.

All glory belongs to Jesus ✝🙏🔥

SEPTEMBER 2026 MINISTRY UPDATE

God continues to open doors for H.I.M. both locally and internationally. This month, we are grateful for every opportunity to make disciples, equip leaders and transform lives through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

At The Refuge Church, our Back-to-School Bash and Redneck Waterslide Celebration brought children and families together for an evening of laughter, fellowship and lasting memories. We have also been given the opportunity to share a devotion with the high school football team before each Friday night game. The team has started the season 2-0, but what matters most is the opportunity to invest in these young men and encourage them in faith, trust, perspective and unity.

In the Philippines, Pastor Jun has received and set up the new internet equipment, and he now has fast, reliable internet. This answered prayer strengthens ministry communication, provides access to biblical training and opens new opportunities for continued discipleship.

Our current ministry needs are $500 toward Pastor Jun’s tuition at Charis Bible College and $50 each month for his internet service. Every financial gift helps equip a leader, strengthen the local church and multiply disciples in the Philippines.

Tara and I will also be traveling to Colorado for the Global Ministers Conference at Charis Bible College. While we are there, we will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary on September 29. We are incredibly grateful for God’s faithfulness throughout our marriage and ministry, and we look forward to this time of spiritual refreshing, fellowship and equipping.

We are also excited to announce that in 2027, we will return to the Philippines to continue strengthening pastors, equipping leaders and reaching communities with the Gospel.

Please continue praying for Pastor Jun’s tuition and monthly internet service, safe travel and refreshing in Colorado, continued favor with the football team and students, and preparation and provision for our 2027 Philippines mission.

We invite you to partner with what God is doing through H.I.M. Whether through prayer, financial giving or sharing this ministry with others, your partnership helps equip leaders, strengthen churches and make disciples locally and internationally.

3 John 8 teaches that when we support those who carry the Gospel, we become fellow workers for the truth. Acts 1:8 reminds us that we have received power through the Holy Spirit to be His witnesses locally and to the ends of the earth.

Thank you for praying, giving and faithfully partnering with H.I.M. as we continue answering that call.

HE’S NOT GOING TO DIE FOR IT AGAIN

Scripture tells us to put off Anger, bitterness, resentment and offense; these are not things we are called to manage. When we continually pick them back up, we elevate our feelings and perceptions above what God’s Word says. We can become offended by how someone looked at us, what we think they meant or something they may not have intended at all. This is how the enemy gains access when we give him permission.

Jesus already suffered for those things on the cross. He is not going to die for them again. Every time we pick them back up, Jesus is not the one suffering—we are. In this we restrict what God desires to do in our lives when we hold on to something He has told us to release.

Ephesians 4:31 AMP tells us to let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, slander and every form of malice be put away from us. These things do not belong to the born-again believer. Stop picking up what Jesus paid for you to put down. Lay it down, leave it at the cross and walk in the freedom He has already provided.

PUT JESUS FIRST!🔥
Matthew 6:33(Amplified)
But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.

BE LOOSED

Romans 12:2 is critical for every born-again believer because the new birth makes our spirit new, but it does not automatically renew our mind. We can be completely alive in Christ and still carry habits, attitudes, fears, and wrong ways of thinking from our former life.

John 11:44 And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.”

Lazarus was alive, but he was still wearing the grave clothes of the condition from which he had been delivered. This is where many believers find themselves. They have received new life in Christ,
(2 Corinthians 5:17) but they continue thinking according to their old identity, past experiences, present circumstances, and the patterns of this world.

Romans 12:2 AMP says, And do not be conformed to this world any longer with its superficial values and customs, but be transformed and progressively changed as you mature spiritually by the renewing of your mind, focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes, so that you may prove for yourselves what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect in His plan and purpose for you.

The new birth changes who we are, but the renewing of our mind changes how we live. As our thinking comes into agreement with the Word of God, our outward lives begin to reflect the new creation we already are in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Whatever we continually focus upon will become magnified in our lives. When we focus on our problems, the problems become greater in our perspective. But when we focus on God, His Word, and His provision, the answer becomes greater than the circumstances surrounding us.

We are not trying to become alive. We have already been made alive in Christ. Now we must allow the Word of God to remove the grave clothes of our former way of thinking so we can walk in the freedom, peace, and victory that already belong to us.

Be loosed from the thinking of the old life and walk in the reality of the new.
