Self-effort has been one of my greatest struggles — I have always been wrapped up in my performance. Everything had to be done to the point of perfection.

Being Angry

I used to think that Christians should never get angry, but the Bible acknowledges that we will be angry sometimes. The issue is what we do with our anger.

Are You There?

In Psalm 10 David asked why God seemed so far away in times of trouble. I think if we are honest, that same question has crossed out thoughts as well.

Unforgettable?

It's painful being forgotten. Especially by someone we love. I try not to take it personally because life has a tendency to become busy, making meaningful communications less frequent.

What am I Doing?

"I do not seek my own will, but the will of him who sent me." John 5:30 Economic uncertainty sends us into the world of “what ifs.”

Behold, I Thought

Do we ever think God’s instructions to us are too simple, that there should be “more to it ”?

God of Peace

God desires you to be blessed and complete in your spirit, soul, and body. Your human spirit is the innermost part where the Holy Spirit resides. Spirit, be strengthened through the power of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 3:16).

Really, deeply, openly loving another person can be scary.

Simply Ask

When you and I have access to God’s power, there’s joy. Joy is more than happiness. It’s long-lasting, beyond emotion. It’s an inner peace that is calming and sparkling. Experiencing such inner delight strengthens us to pursue God’s will even more. This helps us to live our best life.

Be Thankful for Weakness

Power is sexy. We live in a world that admires strength and pities weakness. Fortune 500 companies, movie stars, and politicians all have some level of power over our lives. Some athletes have the physical power to dominate their opponents. We often celebrate and admire the power they all have.

Thorned for a Reason

How do you see someone who is being a thorn in your flesh? Is there someone in your life who just rubs you the wrong way?

God Sized Prayers

Our prayers don't have to be limited to what we can think of to ask for. God is far greater and more creative.

Make An Exchange

God, I am ready. No more holding back, no more storing up treasures that will only hinder my growth and keep me from living the life that You have so graciously died to give me.

God’s Question

God’s first recorded question is one that rings down through the ages: “Where are you?"
