What can our fur babies teach us about our Christian journey?

As believers, let’s not get caught up in the things of this world, but in the things of the one to come.

Do we live as though this world is our home or do we live with a longing to be with our God in eternity?

God calls us to unity, but what exactly is unity?

Examine your plans for the coming week, pray over them, hold them loosely, and invite the One who most deserves your attention, devotion, and energy to interrupt your plans for His.

We must get into the “habit” of doing the simple things God asks of us instead of looking for the big things.

We can forgive others because we have been forgiven.

God is so good to us sinners! He doesn’t give up on us—He gives us second and third and fourth chances to get it right.

We, too, come to a crossroads. Will we follow Christ knowing the costs? Or will we deny Him?

I want to invest into something that lasts, don’t you? Plant seeds of salvation for eternal blooms.

When was the last time we asked God to see His glory? This moment with Moses reminds me that maybe my prayers are too small.

You may be feeling like a ball in your hands translates to a turnover in the making, but a life in God’s hands is the perfect starting lineup.

Like Moses’ journey, God doesn’t promise us it will be easy. But, I have found the best things in life are often the things we work hardest at.

The truth may hurt, it may offend, but it is the truth. May we speak it in love and grace to those that are broken and in desperate need.

If He could forgive me for the things I have done, how can I not forgive someone else?

Let God cleanse you and restore you to your created purpose!

What are we willing to give up to follow the Lord?

I love how God worked in this messy story and brought blessing from brokenness, good from sin, faithfulness to the unfaithful. God is so good to us in our brokenness!

God has gifted each of our kids for His Kingdom.

The really cool thing about redemption is this: it isn’t just a one-time deal! Jesus can redeem us every day – anytime, anyplace.

Would you be able to take a stand on your faith even if you were the only one? Even if it was hard? Even if it hurt?

It’s time that we draw closer to that mountain. We, too, must go to it and fall on our knees in prayer to our Heavenly Father. The time is near for the return of Christ.

Make certain that you always prepare a place of honor for Jesus in your Easter celebration.

But who is God if not higher than us? Surely, we cannot know the mind of God and understand everything there is to know!

When things seem like they are falling apart, don’t mistrust God’s heart.

Be the salt of the earth! Be His!

Ask questions and search out the answers. Let the Holy Spirit guide you as you discover more and more.

Even today, sometimes, it is better to watch and listen for God’s voice.

Life can be messy and hard, and it can be a struggle to see God in it all. But, stories like this remind us that God is a God of mercy and grace.

What if Jesus asked you that question today, “Whom do you say that I am?” What would you say? Would you repeat what others have told you? Would you bank on their knowledge? Or would you be able to give a first-hand account to your own experience with Jesus?

Whether it is relationships, our faith in Christ, discipleship, Jesus instructs us that it comes in steps. We can’t jump straight to the end. There’s work to be done to get there.

Can we lay aside our need to provide for ourselves and trust that He will give us all that we need?

Whatever we gaze upon will affect our hearts and lives.

Don’t get lost in the tall weeds of the earthly journey. Bloom in The Gardener’s care.

How can Christian parents make the most of every opportunity, including sports?

Do you want to hear God’s voice? Do you want to draw near to the Lord, the very one that saved you? Open your bible.

Do we have that faith? That trust that God will supply all of our needs?

Yes, joy is a gift that transcends tragedies, illnesses, and excuses. Joy is God’s goodness and presence alive and at work in His children.

Where can you serve Jesus the most? Pray and see if He’s leading you to go or stay.

It takes nurturing with the bread of life and the living water and time spent with the Son for the person to finally bloom and grow and then be ready for harvest.

Don’t let the enemy distract you from your purpose. Keep teaching. Keep leading. Keep discipling. Keep preaching. Keep encouraging.

Only Jesus can save you. But will you answer that call?

How are you using your influence in this world? Is it to draw others to you, or to Him?

Maybe we find in life what we want to find, what we seek, and what consumes our time and money. What we choose to “be-come” is a path of decisions made daily that projects our journey.

Have we taken time out to spend with the Lord? Not just for us to tell Him what we need, but for Him to speak to us.

If God is calling you to take a step of obedience, know that He is with you the entire time!

If someone were to write a book about you, claiming that you were a Christian, would they have enough proof?

Compassion is always worth the risk.

Jesus’ statement rings true: the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.

Be reminded (and encouraged) that Jesus will be glorified in your “becoming” and your resemblance of Him will be your highest calling.
