Pushing Through to Purpose
Looking back on 2016 and ahead to this new year, it’s important for each of us to really take stock of our goals and the purpose behind what God is calling us to do. As I’m sure we’ve all learned in our own way, it’s not often easy to follow a...
Making Grace Meaningful
You will have all you want to eat, and you will give thanks to the Lord your God for the fertile land that he has given you… – Deuteronomy 8:10, GNT As the Thanksgiving holiday fast approaches, we must pause for a second to realize how truly...
What I’m Most Thankful For
In short, the list is just too long. There are so many things we are thankful for! God has blessed us so richly, we couldn’t count everything we ought to give thanks for if we tried. But one thing we know for sure: without Him – without an...

Exchange Negativity for Positivity
There are times in our walk with God when we may feel defeated, hopeless or weak to the point we feel like giving up on our relationship with the Lord. This is completely normal and something we’ve all probably faced at one time or another, but at the same time we...
Faith for All Seasons
I think a lot of times we associate our spiritual faith with believing God to do things we need done that we can’t do ourselves. To me, that’s a huge part of how we prove our faith to ourselves, but I also believe that faith isn’t just for the rough...
The Power of True Love
We live in a broken world—a world that is full of pride, sin, lust, lies, hatred and pure evilness. But we also know that we live in a world that can be full of joy, peace, happiness, and love if we’re tapped into the right source. Now it’s up to us to choose which...
