Pour Out Your Heart Before Him + What’s Happening

Certainly, you and I are in a unique time. Psalm 62 says that at all times you should pour out your heart to God. He is the place where you should run to for your safety. You need to trust in Him. 

There is something very special about being able to pour out your heart to God. It connects your heart and mind to the Lord. You can verbalize what you are feeling before Him. This can help remind you to trust Him.

Who Am I Listening To?

“But all who listen to me will live in peace untroubled by fear of harm.” — Proverbs 1:33

There is a way to live that leads to harm, fear and restlessness. Most of the time this is a result of listening to ourselves, lies or negative influences. When we find ourselves with a pit in our stomachs and a tinge of fear rattling our emotions, we should ask ourselves, “Who am I listening to?”

Still, Small Voice — A Devotional for The Rock Kids

A Special Devotional with Steele

Hi parents! I am excited to share this special video with you and your children. This is the story of how God met Elijah. It wasn’t in a fire, strong wind or earthquake. God met him in a still, small voice.

We understand being cooped up in the house can be a little difficult for all of us. Hopefully, this video will help you use some of this time by giving you an opportunity to talk with your kids about God. Remember, Jesus loves you — He loves you SO much! And He is close to you.

We Are in a War

“We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.” — 2 Corinthians 10:3-5

Reputation for Faith

“All these people earned a good reputation because of their faith, yet none of them received all that God had promised.” — Hebrews 11:39 (NLT)

I love this verse. As many of you know, it comes from the book of Hebrews — a book that boasts the great Hall of Faith heroes. Recently, as I was reading Hebrews, this verse spoke to me.

Dads: Plead, Encourage, Urge

“And you know that we treated each of you as a father treats his own children. We pleaded with you, encouraged you, and urged you to live your lives in a way that God would consider worthy. For he called you to share in his Kingdom and glory.” — 1 Thessalonians 2:11-12

Just Use S.O.A.P

I wanted to share a quiet time journal entry I made this week. It follows the S.O.A.P method: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer.

Process, Power, Plans

“No, the Lord’s delight is in those who fear him, those who put their hope in his unfailing love.” — Psalm 147:11(NLT)

Process, power, plans, capital, vision, connections…. these are the types of words we tend to associate with success — especially in business, of course if you want to success in business you should also get tools like paystubs for your staff so you can manage everything easily. And no matter what type of business you have, it’s important to accept credit card payments from your customers. With customers increasingly wanting to make cashless payments, getting the cheapest card machine has never been more important. A passion of my heart is The Rock Music. If I’m honest, I often feel like we should be further ahead or more successful than we are. I tend to think we should somehow have more reach for the Gospel with our music ministry than it seems that we do. I can get insecure fairly quickly when I see the success of others around me. Perhaps I don’t have the right process, power or plan?

Get Battle Ready With the Word of God Today!

“His faithful promises are your armor and protection.”— Psalm 91:4

We all need refuge. We all look to something or someone to lean on or support us. It could be our careers, families, friends, finances or even our status in life. 

These are all uncertain supports as every one of them will change over time. As we age and life moves on, our careers will evolve, our finances will rise and fall and even our families won’t remain the same. In one moment, in the blink of an eye, what seemed so certain, can suddenly be very different than what we expected.
