Faith That Stands

Faith is where I stand and why I can stand strong today. "For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith." 1 John 5:4

Prayers Matter to God

God delights in hearing your prayers! We can’t even get the plumber to call us back, so why would God listen to our prayers? Your prayers matter to God because you matter to God. You aren’t just anybody, you are his child.

Satisfaction for the Thirsty Soul

Think about a time you experienced unbearable thirst. You probably would have traded anything for a drink. When you finally got your wish, there was nothing that could have tasted better than that cold, refreshing glass of water.

The Size of Our God

“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.” Psalm 56:3 when you have God, you have everything. And when you give others the knowledge of Him, they can have Him too. And when lives around you are transformed, all the stuff you were busy with doesn't seem as important any more.

Shine Like the Sun

May we never underestimate the power of a glowing face that stems from time spent with God.

Never Alone

Underline these words: You are not alone. Your family my turn against you, but God won’t. Your friends may betray you, but God won’t.You may feel alone in the wilderness, but you are not. He is with you.

The Treasure of His Presence

Our Lord desperately wants you to present whatever is on your mind to Him so He can become more present in your life. Like a gift tucked way under the Christmas tree, what He wishes to give you may at first seem out of view, but if you seek it, you will find, right there, with your name written on it…just for you so you know He cares.

Beginning Again

As we grow toward spiritual maturity, as we are being transformed through the renewing of our minds and obedience to the whispers of the Holy Spirit, may we always have the fresh attitude of beginning. Again.

When the Sparkle Goes

Scripture reminds us that it is also possible to lose our “first love” for the Lord. In fact, it is more than possible—it’s inevitable—unless one is careful to keep looking to God and His Word rather than to embrace the ceaseless changes that swirl around us.

Healing Words from a Dialogue with God

John Piper says, "God is most glorified in us, when we are most satisfied in Him." Will you find your well of satisfaction, your fountain of life, in Him?

The Balanced Life

Sometimes God gives us enough difficulties to help us appreciate the joys of life. He gives us the hard times so that we may enjoy the good ones. Times of trouble are times for spiritual growth.

Love Always Protects

God has clothed us. He protects us with a cloak of love. Can you look back over your life and see instances of God's protection? I can too.

Lavished with Kindness

Lavished! With God’s grace! What an amazing word picture! You and I, right where we walk today, are being showered with the loving kindness of our great God. He is pouring out His unconditional love over us. He is heaping tremendous, overwhelming favor on us.

Satisfaction

What satisfies? What brings genuine and fulfilling contentment? I would have to say it begins with my relationship with the Lord, and the benefits of that relationship are:

Under Construction

Father, thank you for your work in my life. You are good and I know in my heart that you love me and have the best plan, yet at times you know I doubt and become fearful, discouraged, or angry. I confess my failure to trust you. Thank you for being faithful to the plan and your commitment to conform me to the image of your son. Amen.

Religion or Relationship?

If you have struggled, like me, with having an intimate relationship with God, I encourage you to let go of the checklist and just BE with Him. He is waiting, inviting you to grab hold of this incredible relationship.

No Condemnation

Do you carry a burden of guilt and self-condemnation? Know from God’s Word that those who are in Christ can lay that burden down and never, ever pick it up again.

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

In our broken world, our relationships are often less than ideal. However, when Jesus dwells within us, He begins to mend the wounds of our broken relationships.

It’s The Thought that Counts

He smiled widely as he mounted the stairs and approached the front door to the house. One hand behind his back, obviously hiding something. As he walked through the doorway, he leaned over to kiss me and proceeded to tell me he was thinking about me on his way home.

Fishy Reactions

Following God's agenda instead of our own is not always easy but when Simon Peter did it, he had enough fish to feed his family for 3 years. Think about it.

One-On-One with God

In the Bible there are many instances of godly parents who had ungodly children. Though my heart will always be pained at the choices my father and my son made, I can’t let their unfaithfulness destroy my steadfast faith and hope in my Savior.

Daily Deeds of Kindness

Precious Savior, we pass people every day who need a demonstration of your love. May we search for ways to show extravagant gestures of gracious love, and outlandish acts of kindness.

The Power of God’s Grace

Grace is one of God's most amazing gifts. It provides us with everything we need to live in perfect freedom: pardon for our sins, healing for our hearts, the companionship of God's indwelling Holy Spirit, and access to freely cultivate our relationship with Him. We work, worship, and enjoy life surrounded by His unconditional love. His grace upholds us, fills us, and sustains us.
