Finding Encouragement
Living is not easy, and doing it alone oftentimes makes matters worse. Sometimes our feet are slowed down by the weeds that have entangled them along the way, while other times we unnecessarily carry the weight of suffering we were meant to leave behind. Yet, without help we will often continue in our life struggles…

Struggling to Let Go
Is the path you are walking the one that Jesus is leading, or are you following a way other than his? This question applies to all of us if we will allow, yet we rarely ask it of ourselves honestly. However, without doing so we fail to examine whether we are truly in God’s will…

Eyes to See, Ears to Hear
God desires to show us his truth, but we will fail to see it until we first let go of the lies we hold onto. Our ears will fail us as well, until we surrender our pride and enter into a posture of humility to hear what is contrary to our present understanding. This applies…

Get in the Fight
The war we find ourselves in today began before the creation of our world, as defiant angels [apostate heavenly beings] rose up in rebellion against God’s authority and instruction.

A Father’s Love
As children we long for the affection, care, encouragement, love and protection that a father provides. We long for connection and quality time spent together that allows for deep bonding and the opportunity to grow into the person that emulates those quality traits we hold so dear in the father we desire to see. While…

Reclaiming Joy
Scripture says, “When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways” (1 Corinthians 13:11, ESV, 2001, Crossway). Unfortunately, along with giving up childish ways we often leave behind the joy we once had, not…

Chasing humility
Possessing humility is not natural to our flesh nor is it easily obtained. It requires letting go of our natural tendency towards pride so that humility may enter, as both oppose one another and cannot coexist within us. There are two important positive outcomes that result from a humble heart and mindset. First, we allow…

A separation is coming
There will be a separation of those who live by faith in their walk with Jesus Christ from those who remain complicit in their walk alone with sin. “Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he…
