It’s impossible to manage 2021 without the sustenance Scripture provides.

Renovating is all the rage, but God has been in the renewal business since time began.

Evil thoughts are part of our sin nature, but God provides a way to control them.

Who among us suffers from loneliness, depression, anxiety or extended periods of darkness?  Yup. We live in a society right […]

We have many goals on our minds as we enter a new year, but this one is a priority.

What was your 2019 like?  Was it a good year or a bad year?  If you had 2019 to live […]

We can win the battle of the mind because we’re already fighting from a place of victory.

Many Christians, while thumbing through their Bibles,  have pondered why Scripture is broken into two, uneven halves. Is one better than the other? […]

 It’s the most wonderful time of the year, except when it isn’t. Everything about the season highlights your loss, whether […]

I’ve always loved watching and reading anything about medieval times. Kings and their royal families, strong and fearless knights storming […]

It’s not too late to love people who only know difficulty and strife, and who need Jesus.

If you are running low on joy, take a minute and reflect on this amazing truth . . .

When God changes your life, the desire to love and serve others will be automatic.

With all the conflict bombarding us this year you may think joy is impossible.

Because Christ’s love is selfless, we must show mercy to those who can’t pull their load.

Jesus offered a personal, agonizing sacrifice for God’s people that changed the world.

Believers are called to faithfully live in but not of the world and testify to God’s truth.

The world only offers misery and false happiness; Jesus offers life and true joy.

As we tell our changed-life stories, do we focus on what we did or what Jesus did?

When we accept the incredible gift of grace, we can see the freedom Christ came to give us.

I did all the right things and was a relatively “good” kid, but I knew I was missing something.

The joy and good news of Christmas is available to all mankind through the perfect gift.

When we truly live like people of hope, Jesus provides strength and changes outcomes.

Now more than ever, we need the peace and rest only a holy God can provide.

Hope is a choice and we can go to its source and allow ourselves to be filled.

Do our actions point others to who Jesus is and his power to save?

Playing the comparison game is dangerous, but God builds a firm foundation of truth.

When God sent his Son to earth, he said everything he wanted to say to the world.

A purposeful life requires investing in people’s lives, pointing them to the Light of the World.

God gave us life for the purpose of bringing us to himself, so embrace that purpose.

God has given you stewardship of your church, but willingness to follow is not up to you.

Let’s rejoice in the reason for the season rather than insist on holiday perfection.

Do your words point to Jesus or do they carelessly divide the body of Christ?

Today’s chaos is similar to the circumstances surrounding Jesus’ birth, but God . . .

During the holidays’ fun and fuss, don’t neglect the One who made the season possible.

It’s not just an empty promise; it’s truth that no one on earth can take away.

Nothing in this world can ever make you happy, so forget about looking for it there.

When you feel like the deck is stacked against you, remember the story of this hero.

Having a Christian worldview keeps us from racing headlong toward the world’s false promises.

True gratitude begins by “entering” God’s presence with thanksgiving.

The devil wants to destroy our hearts this holiday season, so put on God’s armor and fight.

God has given us the responsibility to steward our lives well and according to his will.

Loneliness is common to everyone; it can even happen when you’re surrounded by people.

The secular world says we should hate, but Jesus says we should love unconditionally.

Our lives are completely controlled by our thoughts and habits, so how do we renew our minds?

If we fail to see the benefit of rest, we will not be the best versions of ourselves.

When things seem to be falling apart, do you rely on yourself or the God of the universe?

God warns us of the tendency to immediately enact our plan without one important thing . . .

If we don’t choose to live surrendered to Jesus, we’ll remain empty, broken, and fearful.

God doesn’t send his soldiers into battle without the proper equipment.
