New Life for Old

So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me— I have never been so fully alive, free, fresh …new wine, new joys, new purpose.

Hope in the Middle of Despair

Sometimes our circumstances seem overwhelming. We may feel like we will never get out of the particularly bothersome situation we are in.

Our Loving Sacrificial Savior

Gracious Father, I praise you from the bottom of my heart for providing Jesus as my Savior. At the same time, dear Father, I confess to you I struggle with sin.

Come and Trust

Come and Trust: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28

Who’s There?

We cannot close our ears to Christ’s steady knocks and think he will give up. He never will. Jesus wants us to welcome him in with hearts hungering to spend time with him.

If You Will, You Can

Trust requires humility. Asking admits need. Expressing our deepest desire leaves us vulnerable. By seeking a specific outcome, we risk disappointment.

Not Blind, But Reasonable

In the eyes of many, the Christian faith is a leap into the unknown, a belief that goes beyond rationality, like the “wish upon a star” fairy tale. If I’m honest, faith sometimes feels that way to me too.

Been There Done That

A small hug, a hand on the arm or some small gesture of contact if no words come to mind. A gesture that says, "I'm here for you."

Simplicity of God’s Love

The simplicity of God’s love, not our eloquence or expertise is what touches a person’s life.

Greater Things

Regardless of how difficult the times, those who have been born again by the grace of God, redeemed and forgiven by the blood of Christ, adopted into God’s heavenly family, indwelt by and sealed with the Holy Spirit, given an eternal home in Heaven and empowered by God for significant service have no right to be anything but optimistic.

Immeasurably More

“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us,” Ephesians 3:20 (NIV)

What Are You Listening To?

Thought. Who are you listening to in your life? We can hear all sorts of different voices, but we can follow only one. So who are you going to listen to as you make your decisions about morality, values, ethics, and character?

What Leads You Today?

Father God, Today I want to be LED by Your Spirit in a fresh way. Please show me Your loving mercies as I look for them. Encourage my heart and show me who I can encourage.

Worried About Your Needs?

Remembering God’s past provisions will help you realize he will provide again and again. God’s hands are not too short to reach out to you.

Don’t Forget a Single Blessing

Your best weapon against the enemies attacks is a good memory. Don’t forget a single blessing! 1 Corinthians 6:20 says,“You have been bought with a price. You belong to God.” God’s message for you?

We All Need It

It’s not possible for our limited human minds to fully understand God’s gift of peace to our weary souls.

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.

Dealing With Anger

Some people want to hang on to ill feelings, but nursing a resentful attitude isn’t sustainable; anger must be put aside. If we retain our “right” to hold grudges, we can’t expect to live in the new nature Christ has created for us.

Your Refuge

“Be merciful to me, O God! For my soul trusts in You; and in the shadow of Your wings I make my refuge” (Psalm 57:1). Make God your refuge. Let Him be the foundation on which you stand.

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.

Seeking the Kingdom

What do you seek most in life? Often it is possessions….. things ….. that cause us distraction and become our mission. Our possessions require maintenance and steal our time and energy.

Behold, I Thought

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