The INDYCAR Ministry and my Involvement

The Indy Car Ministry provides chapel services at each track where the Indy Car, Indy Lights, Pro Mazda Championship, and USF2000 series race. Chapel services include Christian music, Holy Communion, prayer, and a biblical message. We provide prayer and counseling support to drivers and team members. Bible studies are also provided at some of the race shops.

Awesome day. Awesome God.



The photo is of the Star Mazda starting grid. Anticipation of events can be stressful. The events of today were ordained by God. The chapel service went well and had many in attendance that had questions. Questions of what Christ is all about. Anticipation of dying can be stressful. It is not to be feared if we are in Christ. A conversation I had in the airport with a non-believer was stressful because they were mad at God for every bad thing that happened in their life. Trust God, don't condemn God. Have faith in God, not faith in this world. Let anticipation motivate and encourage you, not stress you out.

Let God...

Does the busyness of your day prevent you from having specific time to talk about God or talk to God? If so, perhaps you need to actually schedule time to have meaningfully conversations about and with our creator. That was done today on a number of different levels. I am excited about what each new day brings. Let God's will be done, not ours. Let God dictate our conversations and content, not us. Let God.

Give God the Praise!

Philippians 4:13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength. John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. These mighty words of God were all used this weekend to glorify Him and encourage others. Thanks for your prayers.....
