Nothing will destroy unity in the church more quickly then treating some people in one way and treating others in a different way. It happened in the early church, and regrettably, it still happens in the Church today. Today’s challenge looks a little different, but it still produces the same outcome… and it is an…

We know that the Bible is about God, but it is also about us…about who we were created to be, and who God is restoring us to become! In the same way that we look in a natural mirror to see ourselves, we look into the word of God to see our actual identity reflected…

Let’s face it, as a generation, we are not the most patient bunch of people. They weren’t patient when Jesus walked the earth either, and His brother James begins his letter to Christians addressing this very topic. Developing patience is not one of the easiest things we will ever do, but it provides such great…

Nothing compares to living in the sweet spot of a relationship with God. Flooded with light, our lives are filled with hope, wisdom and love. As we hang around in God’s light, we should become light to those in our lives, reflecting the light of heaven through us. Are we dispelling the darkness wherever we…

The influence of the world is determined to knock us out of the light, and if that can’t happen, it will try to weigh us down and wear us out. Jesus offers a better way to live…come to Him, exchange the burdens of this life for the purpose He’s created for us. It is a…

Our connection to God should be every bit as obvious…when we’re in that sweet spot where our heart is responsive to Him and those…

There is so much God wants to get done on the earth. The tricky part is that we are the ones that He uses to get that work done. He’s brought us back to God’s family, filled us with incredible gifts and has extended abundant resources to us. The only real question, then, is “Are…

In a world of experts, we’re quick to offer advice with the same tired introduction…”Well, If I were you….” But that’s the problem, isn’t it? I’m not you and you’re not me…and what one person would and even should do may not apply to the next person at all. Everyone sees life through a slightly…

Let’s face it, we don’t always see what’s going on. When life gets confusing, or things seem to be heading in a direction we don’t understand, it’s time to stop trying to figure it out on our own, and invite the Father into the situation. As we look at life around us through His eyes,…
