FAITH THE STANDS
I’ve been thinking about the word faith and what the Bible actually means when it uses that word. The Greek word is πίστις (pistis). It can carry the ideas of faith, belief, trust, confidence, reliance, faithfulness, fidelity, steadfastness, and even allegiance depending on the context. That matters because James tells us that even the demons…

DAY 3: GET IN THE WORD. STAY ON THE ROAD.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” — Psalm 119:105 Every rider knows that if you don’t know where you’re going, eventually you’ll end up somewhere you never intended to be. The same is true spiritually. Many believers drift because they try to navigate life without consistently spending…

DAY 2: CHECK YOUR FOUNDATION
Every rider knows that a motorcycle is only as reliable as the foundation beneath it. Loose gravel, soft ground, or unstable footing can cause problems quickly. The same is true spiritually. Many people build their lives on emotions, experiences, opinions, or traditions. Those things may seem strong until the storms come. Jesus said: “Everyone then…

Becoming Watchful, Firm, Strong, and Loving

Day 7 — Invitation to Go Deeper
Scripture Paul writes: “The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.”— 2 Timothy 2:2 (NASB 1995) What Jesus Is Teaching Discipleship is meant to multiply. Jesus formed followers who would help others follow Him. Faith grows…

Day 1 – What Is Discipleship?
What if discipleship is more than just believing the right things? When Jesus began calling His first followers, Scripture says: “And He said to them, ‘Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.’”— Matthew 4:19 (NASB 1995) Jesus wasn’t inviting people to attend an event. He was inviting them into a way of…
