Our values are what define us. We live our lives based on our values. You can say all day that you believe a certain way but it is your value system that will be lived out on a daily basis. That is why we; RLM have core values. These are the five basic values that determine what we do as a church familyand how we love our God and community.  It is the family way. It is these values that help empower us as followers of Jesus to fulfill the mission that He has called us to.

God is so patient! He is patient w/ His people and He is patient w/ sinners. But there will come a time and His patience w/ sinners will stop. The Day of the Lord will be that day. Are you ready? Are you in the LIGHT?

Do you understand the value of being with God?Are you too busy to get a lone with God?Are you too busy serving God to be alone with God?If you are alone with God, do you know what to do?

Wake up! Don't fall asleep or the enemy will find you and get you. Put on Jesus, put on His armor and keep going for Him. The enemy is real and you cannot see him. So, pay attention, watchout, and stay in the presence of Jesus. 

It would be unimaginable that in our racing, a racer wins the championship, comes into the paddock to celebrate the victory, and gets awarded the trophy, and no one is there. It's a ghost town. It would be alarming and sad. The rider puts in a whole season of hard work and wins; at the end, no one celebrates with Him. The same happens with Jesus. Take a listen. What do you think?

(Sorry for some erratic themes and untimely postings - I have been in a Master's Program. It takes up all my time and more! Ha! I love it, but other things are suffering until Oct 2025 - Thanks for your patience.)Is there anything more important than Jesus? Your answer is probably no, and you would be correct. But our lives, our time management, our ministry, our marriages, etc., do not support what we think.

(Sorry for some erratic themes and untimely postings - I have been in a Master's Program. It takes up all my time and more! Ha! I love it, but other things are suffering until Oct 2025 - Thanks for your patience.)Sin gets us. It gets us because we let it happen. We walk around it, then stand by it, and then we sit with it and let it do its work. Nor more...

(Sorry for some erratic themes and untimely postings - I have been in a Master's Program. It takes up all my time and more! Ha! I love it, but other things are suffering until Oct 2025 - Thanks for your patience.)What happened in this message has never happened before and will never happen again. My wife, Dawn, and I have talked about it a lot. There were lots of lessons learned and a lot of ministry accomplished as a result. Some of what happened I may never know the real answers until I see Jesus someday. Take a listen.

(Sorry for some erratic themes and untimely postings - I have been in a Master's Program. It takes up all my time and more! Ha! I love it, but other things are suffering until Oct 2025 - Thanks for your patience.)God is UNSTOPPABLE. He will return at some point, and no one can stop what is coming next. They will try, but their weapons will have no effect. Trust God. He is perfect and...UNSTOPPABLE.

I remember being warned by a mentor when I got out of Bible School and into ministry. He said there are two things that will probably haunt you your whole ministry and life: sex and money. He was right. They are constant temptations. He also told me that if I could keep people out of my life, ministry would go way smoother! Haha! He was joking, of course.Sexual purity is essential. Self-control is also necessary to honor God in this area of your life. What interested me here was that I have a responsibility to keep myself from sin. God is not going to do ALL the work for me. It is Him and me together. 

In this LifeBeat episode, host Danny Earl, Director of Education, introduces the podcast's new co-host Tiffany Van Bronkhorst, RLM's new Content Contributor and Events Coordinator. Danny and Tiffany discuss Women's History Month and how true empowerment comes from providing women with every opportunity to make the hopeful and courageous choice for life. Danny and Tiffany highlight a recent New York Times article that exposes Planned Parenthood's misallocation of funding, showing how they prioritze their political agenda over helping women. They share that RLM will be relaunching its "Life. The Other Choice." ad campaign this spring to reach more women with a life-affirming message and connecting them to their local Pregnancy Resource Center.

Does anyone look forward to a review? NOT ME!? What kind of review did this church get and how were they challenged? 

Have you ever felt like quitting something you know you should be doing. The waves get too high. The pressure is too intense. The obstacles are too overwhelming. You can't quit. You can't. God has a plan for you and HE will help you succeed. Keep moving forward and see how God will take care of you.

As Paul shared his heart and love for the church at Thessalonica so I share my heart and love for our racing community.

Two years later, interest in CPQ and AI remains strong. While AI is now widely used daily for various tasks, CPQ adoption of AI is less clear. Although many vendors have announced AI capabilities (or rebranded existing machine learning as AI, which is technically accurate), it's still unclear what AI features customers truly need in CPQ solutions. Therefore, I explored what different language models suggest by asking them some basic questions. I encourage you to listen to their responses and use these tools for your own research, both before selecting a CPQ solution and after it's installed.

Is there any other choice!? Go big or go home! Go after God with all you have or go home and sit on the fence and live a mediocre life.

Are you an encourager? Do you like to exhort people or come alongside them to help? It is an excellent gift if you do. How you coach people and direct them is essential. The Apostle Paul leaves us a great example of how to do this. This will be a good time to sharpen your spiritual coaching skills.

The church of Jesus Christ has been given the authority and right to the Power of God through the Holy  Spirit living within them.  However, in America the church has been increasingly dealing with a power outage in their lives.  Why?  RLM's Men's Pastor Ryan Moreaux shares with us why we are experiencing such wide spread outages. How we can avoid them and most importantly how we can live with the power of God in our life changing the world and bringing glory to God in the process.

We all lead in one way, shape, or form. Leadership is not easy but it is OH so important. When I first read this passage I thought to myself that I had no idea what I was going to do with these verses. Then LEADERSHIP became very clear and the Holy Spirit led me to share what's in this podcast. If there are mistakes, that's me. If there is anything GREAT, that is the Holy Spirit. 

How is your reputation? When people hear your name, what do they think?

Would you go all the way for Jesus? Who was the first person Jesus revealed Himself to after His resurrection? His mom? Peter? John, his closest friend? It was really the only one that followed Jesus all the way. Will you do it?

During the Winter, I travel often, visiting people from the racing family. I spend time w/ racers at their surgeries. I see them in their homes and perform baptisms, memorial services, and weddings. It is an excellent opportunity to get to know those in the racing family better. For me, it is a trip of love. l Cor 13 gives us the most excellent direction on how to love all people. It is good, but loving "all" people is very challenging.

We all love to hear that we are doing a good job. It is encouraging, and it tells us that we are usually heading in the right direction. The church at Thessalonica was doing fantastic work for God, and the Apostle Paul was very grateful for their faithfulness.But there was a reason they were doing great. The same reason they were doing great, we can be doing great. First and Second Thessalonians are two great books that will challenge our character and integrity and remind us of what is coming up in the end of times.

Happy New Year 2025 - Christ's Passion for us was singularly ferocious. He never took His eye off us. As you make your commitments for 2025 that will bring you closer to Christ, go after them with everything you have. I want you to know that wholeheartedly, with a focused mind, do that which you have committed to do. Just like Jesus, do not take your eyes off the target.

How is your character? Are you living a blameless life? How is your relationship? Another challenge here to model our life after Christ. After the most intense scrutiny Jesus ever went through, he remained sinless and blameless. There was no guilt in Him. Be like Jesus.

It is the night before Jesus Christ is crucified. Jesus is beaten by the religious leadership and Mark & Peter are naked and afraid. It is one wild and revealing night. 

If you were to keep watch for Jesus, would you? Would you stay alert, or would you fall asleep? It turns out there was another reason that Jesus wanted the disciples to stay awake, stay alert, and keep watch.

The disciples were blown away when they found out that one of them would betray Jesus. Peter, too, was dismayed when Jesus said that he would deny Christ. Peter was the main disciple; how could this be possible? Toward the end of the Chapel service, four of the disciples share how they might have felt the moment Jesus said that one of them would betray Him.

A breakaway message is a break from the series i'm involved in. My ministry has emergencies at times and also requires a lot of time. Sometimes I don't have enough time to prepare so I will do something from my Master's Program or something simple that God has laid on my heart.This is from the Prophet Haggai! The children of Israel were to be rebuilding the Temple - The House of God. They decided to to their own thing and ignore the Priority. Here is what happened.

This is a breakaway message, meaning that I should be teaching on the book of Mark in the series Mark by Mark. However, I am in a Master's Program, and sometimes, my study time for the book of Mark or any other series I might be reading is non-existent.I recently studied the book of Jeremiah. It was an overview. I was really impressed by Jeremiah's fortitude. No matter what kind of trial he was going through in his life, he remained obedient to God. He is an impressive prophet.

A couple of days before Jesus's execution, a few of His disciples asked Him about the end of days. And this is what He shares.....
