Out of Control

What do you do when people make choices that you cannot control?” “If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you.” Matthew 6:14

Jesus: Our Intimate Friend

We cannot earn Jesus Christ’s love and friendship. He takes the initiative, reaches out, and draws into fellowship those who are willing. None of us are worthy, but we are privileged to live in His love anyway. In the Lord, we find a friend who sticks closer than a brother

Faith Over Fear

Fighting to maintain a peaceful mindset has been a daily battle for me having dealt with the seeds of fear being planted at an early age; all I knew was fear. I didn’t know that peace belonged to me.

God Is!

We live in an art gallery of divine creativity and yet are content to gaze only at the carpet. The psalmist marveled at such holy handiwork. "Where can I go from your Spirit?" he questioned with delight. "Where can I flee from your presence?

Immersed in Grace

To believe we are totally and eternally debt free is seldom easy. Even if we’ve stood before the throne and heard it from the King Himself, we still doubt. As a result, many are forgiven only a little, not because the grace of the King is limited

Pieced Together

“Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted” (John 6:12).With Christ as my mold, the pieces of my life have been transformed into something new.

Who’s Right vs. What’s Right

It is easy to get caught up in who's right instead of what's right. God will give us opportunities to choose what's right versus who's right, as He continues to mold us to be more like Himself.

Under His Wings

Payback Time

So what can Paul mean by this verse? Though at first it sounds contrary to the Gospel, it actually confirms it. Read it again.

God is Father to the Fatherless

“Taste and see that the Lord is good.” A glimpse of God’s goodness changes us. If He is only slightly stronger than us, why pray? If He has limitations, questions, and hesitations, then you might as well pray to the Wizard of Oz.

Unselfish Choices

Wonderful Promises

Prayer: Forgive me, Heavenly Father, for my sins. Purify my heart and cast out any foothold the devil may have in me because of my sin. Empower me to holiness and accept my life as an offering of praise and thanks to you. In the name of Jesus, I offer you my heart, my life, and my all. Amen.

Pursue the Virtue of Contentment

Success is not defined by position or pay scale but by this: doing the most what you do the best. Better to be married to a happy person who has a thin wallet than a miserable person with a thick one.

God Understands You

God, So human he could touch people. So mighty he could heal people. So heavenly he spoke with authority. So human he could blend in unnoticed for thirty years. So mighty he could change history and be unforgotten for two thousand years. Because Jesus was human, He understands you. And...

We Like Sheep

We need a shepherd to care for us and to guide us. And Jesus is that Good Shepherd. The Shepherd who lays down his life for the sheep. The Shepherd who protects, provides, and possesses his sheep. The Psalmist says: The Lord is my shepherd! The imagery is carried over to the New Testament as Jesus is called the good shepherd of the sheep!

God does Big Things with Small Deeds

God inhabits the tiny seed, empowers the tiny deed. He cures the common life by giving no common life, by offering no common gifts. Don't discount the smallness of your deeds.

Bear With Each Other

Thought: How can I not forgive a brother or sister for whom Christ died, when I know what God paid to forgive me? “Bear with each other and forgive... Col 3

Unto the Least of These

“He will reply, “I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.” Matthew 25:45

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.

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?

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!
