A New Heart

God is in the business of changing hearts. We would be wrong to think this change happens overnight. But we would be equally wrong to assume change never happens at all.

Sense of Being

Be blessed to know that you are loved, wanted, and needed in the world. Your Father placed you right where you are. Be blessed with relaxing in His perfect care in every detail, knowing He is lovingly watching over you.

Unto the Least of These

It’s All about Me

The self-centered see everything through self. Their motto? “It’s all about me!” To the self-centered– the flight schedule, the traffic, the worship styles—everything is filtered through the mini-me in the eye. Philippians 2:3-4 says,“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one

All About Me

Help me, Lord, to relate to you and others not on the basis of material possessions. May my vision increasingly be like yours. 1 Samuel 16:7 "Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."

No Pecking Order with Jesus

Jesus flip-flopped the pecking order. 1 Corinthians 13:4 Love does not boast, it is not proud. Jesus has no room for pecking orders. In a world of upward mobility, choose downward servility. “Regard one another as more important than yourselves” (Philippians 2:3 NASB).

His Perfect Love

If God loved us with an imperfect love, we would have high cause to worry. Imperfect love keeps a list of sins and consults it often. God keeps no list of our wrongs. His love casts out fear because he casts out our sin. Tether your heart to this promise, and tighten the knot.

Closed Doors

There was a time not so long ago when I let the doors that slammed shut in my face slam my self-esteem with crushing blows. I had not learned yet that closed doors were simply part of God directing my paths.

Resources

By faith we need to gladly, freely, fully, and gratefully cast ourselves upon His resources without reservation—He is the all-sufficient One Who never changes, Who never faints or grows weary, Who never slumbers or sleeps, and Who is the keeper of His people from this time forth and forever more.

Two Sticks of Dynamite

I remember the day a couple called me over to pray with them in a specific situation. I made the appointment. I listened. And I prayed. Yet when I left I had the sense that my prayer had not gone past the ceiling. I felt frustrated.

Posture of Prayer

To be honest, I have wrestled a lot with this thing called prayer. *Why does God want us to pray when He knows what we need even better than we know ourselves? *What good does my prayer even do? Who am I to change God’s mind or challenge Him on His ideas?

Ask What You Will

Prayer has always been the breath, life, vitality, strength and power of the Christian. Beginning with our Lord, who spent much time in prayer, and continuing with the disciples and fruitful, Spirit-filled Christians through the centuries, prayer remains a major emphasis in the life of every believer.

Dying to Hear

There are many struggling people in the world who are literally dying to hear the Gospel — but there’s no one willing to tell them. They are lost and on their way to hell. We have the ability to give them the good news that could save their lives, but do we chose to tell them? Or do we go about our own agenda instead?

Faith Believes

Faith believes that what God says will take place without a shadow of a doubt. Faith believes that we will see the promises of God unfold even when it looks impossible. Faith believes in what we can’t see, and knows it is there.

Attribution Error

As Christians, we’re not to drag our brothers and sisters before God to be punished or examined under a holy microscope. We are to forgive them, just as Christ forgave all of us on the hard wood of the cross as He bled for us…and them, too. After all, we probably need forgiveness for something we have done or said, too.

In the Palm of God’s Hand

Have you ever needed to make note of a phone number or some reminder and without any paper, written it in the palm of your hand so you won’t forget? I have and God has too!

The Power of Worship

As we walk through these challenging days of change in our world, both globally and personally, I am amazed with the direction the Lord gives us in His word. I was comforted by the fact that God has already let us know in Hebrews 12:26 that everything that can be shaken will be shaken so that only that which cannot be shaken will stand.
