Pride vs Humility: Part 1
Pride can be difficult to see in ourselves. It hides behind things. We don’t like to face it, but God calls us to look at it. To call it by name. To let Him search our hearts for pride and expose it for what it really is. He wants to work in us and He can’t if…
Forgetting God?
Have we forgotten God? Have you forgotten God? As a society, as a nation, as people are we forgetting God? Everyday we make choices and decisions. We either follow God or ignore Him. God is always there. He is always nudging us, prompting us, convicting us, gently guiding us. Through His Spirit, through our conscious, God speaks. (Romans…
Blessings in Christ

Flawed but Usable
We are all flawed. We fall to temptation, have struggles, insecurities, weaknesses and brokenness within. We make mistakes. We make wrong choices. We sin.

God Will Accept You

Live Like You’re Forgiven (Living in God’s Undeserved Grace)
God set in motion His plan of salvation from the beginning. When we accept Him as our savior and begin life with Him, He covers us in His undeserved grace. We are forgiven and washed clean. We are made new. The old ways, our old self are gone and we become a new person. 2…
God’s Goodness: Our Mistakes & Failures
Our mistakes and failures God weaves them all together for our good. Even our sin and rebellion God uses in His goodness. Our path and journey through life can be complicated. There may be many times of going our own way. Times of doubt and questioning. Times we want to give up. Times we are angry at…
Forward Moment by Moment
Looking back instead of forward and holding onto the past or our mistakes and failures only holds us back from God. It keeps us from His love. It keeps us from His plan. It keeps Him from working in and through us to shine our light in the darkness and brokenness. It steals our joy.…
Imitate Jesus: His Life, Our Life

Us Forgetful Humans
As humans we easily forget. Humanity forgets. We easily forget God. The Israelites did, people and nations throughout history forgot God.
