We may not know what tomorrow holds, but we know the One who does. May we be comforted by that and challenged to press into Him and "Trust Him with all of our heart, and lean not on our own understanding, but in all our ways acknowledge Him and He will direct our paths"... and the path of our nation and The Church - Be Still And Trust (Karla Orgel).

At times we can find ourselves obsessing over various WHY GOD questions. However, there's so many answers we already have. Many times it's not a matter of knowing the truth but simply trusting the truth we already know - Trusting The Truth.

Saul was a man who hated Chrisitanity. However, something happened to Saul one day on his way to Damascus. A bright light shone on him and the love of Jesus Christ burst into his heart and changed him into the great Apostle Paul. God's love can turn an unbeliever into a child of God but it can also refresh a child of God in a way that restores their "center" with a fresh sense of His presence, love, joy, and peace - When Love Breaks Through.

The Bible tells us in Hebrews how Jesus was able to overcome all the shame and hostility that assaulted His life. He could do it because there was a JOY set before Him. We also have a joy set before us. The apostle Paul tells us in Romans that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the GLORY that will be revealed in us. Let's take a closer look at that glory - The Joy Set Before You.

The disciples were questioning Jesus over who would be the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. So Jesus took a small child and said that unless you become as simple as a child you can't even enter the Kingdom of Heaven. However, if you humble yourself as this child you will be the greatest on the Kingdom of Heaven - A Childlike Faith.

The Apostle Paul (Romans 14) provides several examples of how genuine believers can have differing convictions of conscience over the same issue. The hot button topic of their day was "meat offered to idols"...should you eat the meat or not eat the meat? Paul shows how both positions can come from the same place of honoring God. There have been many similar type issues throughout church history. Is it possible to uphold our own convictions of conscience while still being respectful of others who differ from our own? - Convictions - Your Theological Love Walk.

The scripture tells us in James 3:14-16 that there's a demonic wisdom that leads us into a place of darkness, confusion, and every evil work. This kind of wisdom builds imaginations and hypotheticals on past hurts and creates a kind of "fluff" that can be more painful than the original offense. However, God has given us powerful weapons so that we can "see through" everyone of Satan's smoke screens - Seeing Through Demonic Fluff.

As we read the scriptures we'll often see the writers reflect back on the history of God's faithfulness to a nation or even the writer himself. As we move forward by faith in our lives it's important to remember how God has faithfully guided us by the Holy Spirit and that He's still the same today: Your Story - Seeing God's Hand In Your Life.

As we celebrate Pentecost today we're reminded that Pentecost now lives in us through the person of the Holy Spirit. He that is "in us" is greater than he that is in the world. Now is the time for the church to stand in the power of Pentecost and intercede for the healing of the United States of America - Praying For Our Nation.

The Apostle Paul made an interesting statement as he stated his defense before the governor Felix. He said, "I maintain my conscience before God and man". We're bombarded with opportunities for a troubled conscience (sin, disobedience, relationship issues). Today we look at the various ways we can either play games with our conscience or properly maintain it - Juggling Your Conscience - All The Possibilities.
