Voices in Our Head

Jesus is in the presence of God at this very moment standing up for us.

The Merciful

Jesus says the merciful are shown mercy. Forgiving others allows us to see how God has forgiven us. The dynamic of giving grace is the key to understanding grace. For it is when we forgive others, that we begin to feel what God feels.

Right Us Again

You shouldn't struggle on your own because, like a sheep, most likely it will be beyond your capability to get right again no matter how hard you try. Press the call button and seek out the Shepherd. He will have compassion and help you get on your feet again, or carry you until you’re strong enough to do so.

Hitting Rock Bottom

People “hit rock bottom” when they reach the lowest point of their lives and realize they have nothing else to lose. For some, it’s the only place they can clearly see themselves and their situation and understand how much they need God’s love and mercy to pull out of the rocky pit.

The Highway to Zion

Each of us has times of weeping when our hearts and hopes seem crushed. Because God has placed in our hearts "highways to Zion," however, we pass through valleys; we do not live in them.

The Touch That Transforms

Jesus’ Touch Transformed. His approach was personal. Although He had the power to simply speak a word or command illness to leave, He often chose a more hands-on approach.

Immediately

All farmers know that when the harvest is ripe, time is of the essence. Our time on this stage is short, no matter our ages, and the harvest is ready. It won’t last forever.

Be Teachable

We are truly fortunate to have a Father that disciplines and instructs us. It is our job to be teachable and make sure we are paying attention.

Proclaim How Much Jesus Has Done for You

Thank you, Lord God, for having mercy on me and saving me. May your Holy Spirit make me bold in telling everyone what you have done for me. Amen.

Freedom from Anxiety

Persevering through anxiety is easier when we know God intimately, believe His Word, and trust Him explicitly. In the process, we’ll discover that our anxiety is outweighed by His peace.

Serve One Another

Let's follow Jesus' example. Let's "put on the apron of humility, to serve one another"

Better a Millstone

What causes you to stumble? What takes you away from God rather than drawing you closer to him? What makes you want to stop believing rather than rest in peaceful trust?

Hospitali-TEA

Friends, God wants to use you. Explore the desires and gifts He’s given you. Discover ways God can use you to reach others in His name. Investing your life in this way will yield eternal dividends.

The Professional Killer Got It

We never know how a person will come to faith in Christ. It might take a hundred different encounters to draw someone to Jesus.

No Regrets

Lord Jesus, thank you for never giving up in your pursuit of your people. Thank you that you have never given up on me, even when I want to give up on myself. Thank you for showing me the way to joy. Amen.

Let God’s Light Through

John the Baptist recognized that for Jesus' interests to shine, John's own self-interest must decrease. We are like the lampshade to God's light; the thinner the lampshade is, the more the light will shine through.

Called to Compassion

Dear God, help me understand your unfailing compassion for the world, and for me too. I confess that I am as messed up as people around me, and am desperately in need of your redeeming love. Keep from me a smugness of heart that would hold back my own compassion for others. Amen.

The Tongue

The tongue does a lot of physical things for our body, but I believe that the prime gift God gave us with our tongue is to edify the saints and spread the Word to the sinners.

Don’t Look Back

Grief is more than losing a loved one. We grieve the loss of anything that was important to us, including a home, a career, or our health.

His Masterpiece

You are one-of-a-kind. There has never been and never will be another person on this planet exactly like you. You are unique, special and inimitable!

Jesus Desires Mercy, Not Sacrifice

When you feel condemnation coming at you like a furious flood, look to Jesus, who says, “I no longer condemn you. Go and sin no more”
