DRO was founded over 25 years by Bill and Debbie Reed of Tennessee. Their love for God, people and dirt racing are the drive behind this ministry. Our mission is to help chaplains minister to teams, drivers and fan's through prayer, visitation, fellowship and church services. Our heart is for God and for all people. We want to encourage our race family as they are traveling and have no regular pla

ce of worship. We also printed and distribute DRO New Testaments as chaplains travel to races. We provide them for other ministries as well like Racing for Jesus and Racers for Christ. Everyone needs support sometime and we want to be there to help bear one another's burdens. We also manage the Chris Francis Dirt Racers Memorial Fund which helps with monetary expenses when a racer is injured.

Pride Cannot Live Beneath the Cross Thursday, June 18, 2026
James 4:8-10 Come close to God and He will come close to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be miserable, and mourn, and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into gloom. Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

One of the best-selling books of the 1970s was titled “Looking Out for Number One” and encouraged people to put themselves ahead of everything else. It's not surprising that was a best-seller because we are naturally inclined to pride. The world tells us to promote ourselves and make sure people know how great we are. God’s design is different. Rather than lifting up ourselves, we are to follow the example of Jesus: “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men” (Philippians 2:5-7).

Unlike us Jesus actually deserved all the praise and glory both Heaven and Earth could offer. Yet He still willingly laid all of that aside to accomplish God’s plan for our salvation. The way for us to obtain the grace that we need to live as Jesus did is to humble ourselves. “But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”” (James 4:6). The only true source of promotion in things that matter is God.

Charles Spurgeon said, “If you are not humbled in the presence of Jesus, you do not know Him. You were so lost that nothing could save you but the sacrifice of God’s only begotten Son. As Jesus stooped for you, bow in humility at His feet. A realization of Christ’s amazing love has a greater tendency to humble us than even a consciousness of our own guilt. Pride cannot live beneath the cross. Let us sit there and learn our lesson. Then let us rise and carry it into practice.”

Today's Growth Principle
Our fellowship with God will never be what it should be if we allow pride to take root in our hearts.

Stand Up and Speak Out Wed, June 17, 2026 Timothy 4:10-12
For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all mankind, especially of believers. Prescribe and teach these things. Let no one look down on your youthfulness, but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity, show yourself an example of those who believe.

Dan Coats, who served for a number of years as United States Senator from Indiana, told this story: “I recently saw the story of a high school values clarification class conducted by a teacher in Teaneck, New Jersey. A girl in the class had found a purse containing $1,000 and returned it to its owner. The teacher asked for the class's reaction. Every single one of her fellow students concluded the girl had been foolish. Most of the students contended that if someone is careless, they should be punished. When the teacher was asked what he said to the students, he responded, ‘Well, of course, I didn't say anything. If I come from the position of what is right and what is wrong, then I'm not their counselor. I can't impose my views.’”

While silence may be the simplest response to attempt to avoid trouble, as children of God we are called to be people who not only believe the truth, but who live by it ourselves and are willing to speak it to others. Our purpose in this life is not to be popular and widely accepted, but to be examples of godly living.

Our lives as well as our words should be a constant declaration that as members of the family of God we behave differently than those who live in the world. Paul wrote, “That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine as lights in the world” (Philippians 2:15). The truth is worth standing up for no matter how many may stand against us and no matter how much opposition and ridicule we might face.

Today's Growth Principle
The world needs to see a clear light of God's truth from those of us who know it.

The Need for Commitment Tues, June 16, 2026 Philippians 3:7-9
But whatever things were gain to me, these things I have counted as loss because of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them mere rubbish, so that I may gain Christ, and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,

One of the most important and respected management experts of the last century was Peter Drucker. His thirty-nine books were translated into dozens of languages and sold millions of copies. He identified three things that are required for a successful mission, whether personal or corporate: 1) Look at strength and performance. Do better what you do well—if it's the right thing to do. 2) Look at the opportunities, the needs. Where can you, with limited resources, really make a difference? 3) Look at what you really believe and commit to it fully. Drucker wrote, "I've never seen anything being done well unless people were committed.”

The goal that God has declared for every believer is for us to be like Jesus. “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son” (Romans 8:29). This is a cause that is worthy of our complete dedication and commitment. It is not a passing goal that we may later set aside, but the goal that should dominate our thinking and efforts every day of our lives.

The goal of being like Jesus requires priority. That must be more important than any of the things of this world. Our value system must be settled on the eternal things rather than the temporal pleasures and successes we are offered. When we face troubles and trials, our commitment to Jesus will be tested, but if we remain faithful, we will know and serve and love Him better, and truly be more like Him.

Today's Growth Principle
Nothing we give up to follow Jesus is worth what we will receive from Him for faithful service.

The End of Every Sin Monday, June 15, 2026 James 1:13-15
No one is to say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it has run its course, brings forth death.

In June of 2026, as the world marked the eighty-second anniversary of the D-Day invasion with ceremonies in France, England, and America, people remembered the courage and sacrifice that helped bring the Second World War to an end. At the same time, a very different reminder of that war emerged in Indonesia. The Papua region was rocked by a massive explosion that destroyed nine homes, killed at least five people, and injured more than a dozen others. “The source of the explosion is strongly suspected to have been a bomb or mortar left over from World War II,” Papua police spokesman Cahyo Sukarnito told reporters. In many parts of the world, unexploded ordnance from World War II—and even World War I—still poses a deadly threat decades after the fighting ended.

While there are many times when the effects of sin are immediate and obvious, there are other times when they linger for years or even decades before coming to light. Yet no matter how much time passes, the end result is always death and devastation.

There are no sins we can commit that do not come with consequences. We may try to convince ourselves that somehow we are an exception to God’s unchanging law of sowing and reaping, but that is a lie the devil tries to use to lead us astray. Sin always leads to death. It was true in the Garden of Eden when God forbade Adam and Eve to eat the fruit of one tree. It was true during the life of Christ when He took the penalty of death that we owed and paid it in full. And it is true today—sin only has one destination, and that is always destruction.

Today's Growth Principle
Keeping the consequences of sin in clear view strengthens us to resist temptation.

Be a Builder Saturday, June 13, 2026 1 Corinthians 3:11-13
For no one can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, each one’s work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each one’s work.

Every day we have an opportunity to build on the foundation we have been given as believers in Jesus Christ. This work of building is not meant for our own benefit (although we do reap rewards for our labor) but for the benefit of the body of Christ. Every one of us needs other Christians to help us grow and stay on the right path. This is why 1 Thessalonians 5:11 instructs, “Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also you do.”

Yet there is another path some choose to take. Some people have no interest in helping others, focusing only on themselves. Often these people attempt to make themselves feel better by tearing down others. If this approach goes on long enough, the consequences can go from destructive to deadly. Paul warned the Galatians, “ For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another. (Galatians 5:14-15).

It is easier to tear others down than to build them up, but that is never the course to take. Someone wrote a poem about a conversation with a construction supervisor tearing down a large building called “A Builder or a Wrecker?” that ends with these lines.

Am I a builder who works with care,
Measuring life by rule and square?
Am I shaping my work to a well-made plan
Patiently doing the best I can?

Or am I a wrecker who walks to town
Content with the labor of tearing down?
"O Lord let my life and my labors be
That which will build for eternity!"

Today's Growth Principle
Look for opportunities today to encourage, help, motivate and bless others, and it will be a day well spent.
