God takes our lives and cleans us for a destiny that is bigger than we can ever imagine. In every stage of our lives, God continues His refining process, so we can be used for greater things.

As we leave the year 2018 and begin the adventure of 2019 it is important to know God’s peace is with us to guide, strengthen and protect.

The only invitation from God to anyone to come and visit Mary and Joseph and the infant Jesus is to a group of shepherds. They were common people on the bottom of the social ladder of that day, perhaps the last people that you'd expect God o send as the first VIP guests to see His son.

We may not be able to choose our family history, but we can choose where we get our identity from.

The light in Christmas was given to bring us out of darkness and to guide our lives.

Christmas is not only a time to look back and celebrate when Jesus came to earth, it is also a time to look ahead. For as sure as His first arrival was clearly prophesied, so too, is His return.

When we are angry because God’s ways don’t make sense, the best thing we can do is listen, for He is about to reveal what is in our heart and what is in His heart.

Like Jonah, God will give us another chance to serve Him when we choose to obey Him.

Jonah, like many of us, wanted to give up on what God had for him, but God intervened and did not let him quit.
