Heavenly Wisdom

Now I know why righteousness is so hard to find: there aren't many sowers! Heavenly wisdom is full of sacrificial earthly action.

Is He Keeping Something Good From Me?

Man has had a curious fascination with evil from the beginning. In Genesis 3, Adam and Eve had a full knowledge of goodness because they had a very close relationship with the all-good God. Goodness was written on their hearts and they had never sinned.

The Holy Spirit: Giver of Gifts

Jesus Christ knew all about the human tendency to feel inadequate. That is why He assured His followers they would receive a Helper—the Holy Spirit—

Treasures in Jars of Clay

Mountaintops

The exhilaration that must be felt and the sense that you are capable of attempting anything in life must be a small part of what we feel when we have a God centred mountaintop experience.

God’s Grace

All the Grace I need He freely gives. I am flawed. Every day I miss the mark. I lose patience and say things the wrong way which means I shouldn’t have said them at all. I forget to pray for someone I assured I would remember their prayer request.

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

Blessing of Belonging and Worth

Come to be blessed by your Father and Creator. According to God's Word, you are very special, You are created, crafted and designed by God your Father. He planned for you before He said, "Let there be light."

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.

My Refuge and My Shield

Where can we go to remain secure from the onslaught of bad ideas, evil influences, and false hopes? We can go to God and his Word. While people can be disloyal and misguided, God's love is proven through history and through Jesus and his truth stands forever.

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.

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.

A New Heart

God is in the business of changing hearts. We would be wrong to think this change happens overnight. But we would be equally wrong to assume change never happens at all.

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!

God is Mysterious

There’s much about God we don’t understand. Why didn’t He stop the earthquake or the tsunami? Why doesn’t He protect innocent children? Why do the wicked prosper? C.S. Lewis writes: "You can’t analyze God. He is too awesome, too big, too mysterious,”

Don’t Make it Too Personal

Belonging to God’s family can be a gentle rain on the desert of our loneliness. God, our Father, is ours because we are not the only believer left on earth. No matter how alone we may feel, we know that there are many others who worship Christ Jesus, our Lord.
