Our Conflict is with Satan

Make no mistake… the devil is a real devil! Every conflict is a contest with Satan and his forces. For that reason, the Bible says, “though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.

Casting Your Anxiety on God

On my good days I begin my morning with a cup of coffee and a conversation with God. I look ahead into the day and make my requests. I am meeting with so-and-so at 10:00AM. Would you give me wisdom? This afternoon I need to finish my sermon. Would you please go ahead of me?

As Near as Our Next Breath

Don’t assume God is watching from a distance. Isolation creates a downward cycle of fret. Choose instead to be the person who clutches the presence of God with both hands.

He Knows You

He Is Our Refuge and Strength

God is With Us

Jesus understands you. He’s faced hunger, sorrow, and death and wants to face them with you. Scripture says Jesus “understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin” (Hebrews 4:15).

Look at Jesus

These words are found in the book of Psalms: “The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand” (Psalm 37:23–24).

Jesus Understands

But Jesus, who also was once alone—UNDERSTANDS our loneliness. I imagine Him listening. I picture His eyes misting and a pierced hand brushing away a tear. He understands!

Our Dependable God

God will keep his promises! It must happen because of who God is! And because God’s promises are unbreakable our hope is unshakable!

Have You Let God Love You?

It is only by receiving our Father’s agape love that we can discover an agape love for others. Be loved, and then love. Just as hurt people hurt people, loved people love people. So let God love you!

Jesus Became Like Us

John 1:14 says, “The Word became flesh and lived among us.” The God of the universe left the glory of heaven and moved into the neighborhood. Our neighborhood! Why? Because He loves to be with the ones he loves!

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.
