What did it take for you to believe and become His witness?

While other religions may have moral or ethical systems, only Christianity has a God who was willing to become human, teach us to live, die for us and then overcome death. All other religious leaders are still in the grave. But not Jesus.

God doesn’t just want outward obedience; He wants our hearts.

Whatever you’re going through or waiting for, I promise you, God is at work! He doesn’t waste time. The Lord almighty is in control and time is in His hands. Trust Him.

We have something the Lord wants to use, but will we surrender our grasp on it? Will we offer it to the Lord and accept His offer to be used to accomplish His great plan?

Jesus is the Prince of Peace. With Him we have nothing to fear. Without Him, we have no hope.

Jesus changes everything and everyone.

What sign do you need to recognize Jesus as the one true God? What will it take for our eyes to be opened to the truth of who He is and surrender to His authority?

Respond with forgiveness.

It may be that God wants you to be satisfied with Him, the giver of great blessings, before getting the blessing. It may be that He is getting you ready to experience Him in a whole new way. A fiery sort of way.

Like Jesus did often, take time to get away and pray. Seek the Lord’s wisdom and ask for discernment in this situation. Study His Word and live it out. You know who wins in the end.

May Jesus find us being faithful about His Father’s work when He returns.

Doubt is the killer of our dreams. And doubt is the killer of our faith.

Fearing God isn’t being afraid of Him – it’s being scared of living life without Him.

To be a leader one must have a servant’s heart.

He follows us when we wander, He pursues us when we rebel—He just doesn’t give up on us.

We are not yet what we will be, but we are “growing toward it.”

In Jesus we have a fresh start.

Don’t let this New Year begin without a renewed commitment to Him…His way, His time, His glory.

Though we may not look the best on the outside, if we have a heart after Him, that’s all God needs to work mightily in our lives.

How do you set goals for the coming year?

Jesus beckons. He calls us to join Him. To sit at His feet. To seek His face. To feel His presence.

God’s Word is worthy, withstands the pressure of change, and it’s an eternal commitment. If God says it, I believe it.

Jesus never promised the road would be easy as His follower. In fact, time and time again, He pointed out how hard it would be. But the rewards far outweigh the risk.

Surrender to the Lord today. No more pretending. No more playing. Just full surrender.

If you want to build a life worth living, Jesus must be the beginning. He must be the cornerstone.

We are called to take up our armor, the shield of faith and the sword of the spirit, to not just survive life…but to THRIVE in life.

Sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do is weep.

Our motive for following Jesus matters.

God chases us down our whole lives to remind us not only does He love us, but out of the fullness of this love, He can do the impossible. He’s a God after our own hearts.

He has sought you ought. You are worth saving. He loves you! Will you accept His offer today? Answer His call and live!

Are you missing the point? Jesus is calling to you today. He wants to come in and abide with you.

By God’s grace, we are to “cut off” the things in our lives that do not honor Him.

Many times, we can put God in a box and keep Him there. It’s safe and predictable. But, God will not be kept there. He has plans to blow us away with His grace and love.

Holiness is still a thing that we aspire for, friends. And while we will always fall short, we can grow more sanctified in the process.

God calls each of us to present ourselves to Him as a living sacrifice.

In all things, the Lord has heard my cries and answered my prayers. Some are still waiting for answers, but while I wait, I pray, continuing to bring that to the Lord and trust that He will answer it, in His time.

We will know when Jesus returns. There will be no doubt. All will be able to see.

Do our actions tell the same story as our words?

In many of these prophet readings, God does something I love: He doesn’t waste an opportunity to remind His people that He can do anything!

It’s always good to examine ourselves and our motives. Are we serving God because we love Him and want to obey, or are we wanting extra credit for it?

Your faith doesn’t have to be huge to be effective. Allow God to use the winters of this life to grow you.

I am thankful for daily reminders from the prophets that we have a God who chases us down when we stray so that we may experience His love and mercy.

Stay hungry for God and His Word!

The Lord has entrusted us with financial means in order to live for Him. Are we doing that?

Let’s follow Jesus’ example and seek the lost, pour into them the truth and rejoice when they come home!

Have you fully surrendered to the Lord?

That prayer you have been praying…be persistent. In God’s timing, He will move. Until then, walk by faith.

Trusting God’s plan is seldom easy, but when we choose to obey, there is much peace and grace along the way.

He stands with arms wide open, waiting. Will you run to Him today?
