Words that Saved My Life

Words are powerful for good or for destruction. Words can bless or wound deeply.

Comforting Others in Grief

Lord, help me to put away bitterness born of grief and disappointment, and instead look outward to those who desperately need encouragement

Judging

“Heavenly Father please help us judge others as you would judge us, for in the same way we judge others, you will judge us and with the measure we use, you will measure us.

The Heart is What Matters

God, forgive me for judging others’ faith by their outward appearance. Help me see people the way You do. Amen.

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?

Grace Received, Grace Given

For if you forgive men when they sin against you, Your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

More than Conquerors

Are we really conquerors despite "trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword"? Yes! That is the ultimate Christian assurance.

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?"

Fruit of Gentleness

Gentleness is biblical meekness, a positive quality, and Jesus commended it when he said that the meek will inherit the earth (Matthew 5:5). He lives the strength of his gentleness in you,

Listen Up

Are you a good listener? Studies have shown that we stop talking only an average of 17 seconds before we resume speaking in a conversation, and most of that time, we are thinking about what we want to say next! Sometimes prayer can be like that, with God barely getting a word in edgewise, as we monopolize the conversation.

Listening to God

I once heard someone say that if we have only ten minutes to pray, we should spend the first half listening and the second half petitioning.

Gentle and Humble

A gentle spirit is something we cannot produce in ourselves. But the Holy Spirit produces “love, joy, peace, kindness, gentleness” and much more. Why not ask the Holy Spirit to be in control of your life from now on?

For the Good of Others

"Lord God our Father, whether we eat or drink or whatever we do, we do it all for Your glory. Help us as we try not to cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God and help us try to please everyone in every way. For we are not seeking our own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved. In Jesus name amen."

Called Out of the Dark

The dark can be a scary place. I have never felt comfortable in the darkness. My imagination runs to places I’d never think of if I was in a lit room.

Walking on the Mountain

Two hikers, bone weary from trudging toward the peak of a majestic mountain, pause when one says, “I think we’re on the wrong path; we’ve stopped making progress. Maybe it’s time to turn back.”

Are You Choosing Chaos?

Why do we allow ourselves to live in confusion and even chaos when we can be equipped by the Holy Spirit of God. Do we miss the wisdom and revelation we can have from God because we drown out that quiet voice of the Spirit by our busy lives?

Protection and Direction

Thank-you gracious and mighty God for your 'protecting' cover by day and the 'directing' fire by night. And also for your 'providing' loving arms that carry us all the time. In Jesus name, amen. Psalm 105:39

Cast Yourself Upon the Grace of Christ

Guilt sucks the life out of our souls. Grace restores it. No one had more reason to feel the burden of guilt than did the apostle Paul.

Not Give Me, but Make Me

God is more interested in our character than in our comfort. To conform us to Christ-like-ness takes time. It also takes adversity. The answers to “give me” are temporal, whereas the answers to “make me” are eternal.

Sanctuary in the Wilderness

I wonder if I will ever be satisfied with God rather than constantly longing for what God offers. Sanctuary in the Wilderness

The Causes of Insecurity

Comparison. People sometimes become preoccupied with those who seem smarter, wealthier, nicer-looking, more successful, and so on. This makes individuals feel overshadowed and creates doubt in their own ability to achieve.

Gathered Together

Most of us have probably spent that last couple of months during this pandemic sitting in front of our computers, tablets, or phones streaming a live sermon instead of attending church in person. Some might be tired of this way of church. Others might enjoy it.
