Feeling anxiety is a normal and healthy experience in life, but being overwhelmed by anxiety, living in worry and fear is not!  Jesus knows our human tendency to try to control the future, to handle the challenges of tomorrow with the resources He’s given us for today.  It’s time to rescue our soul, to stop…

There are a few things that really damage our soul, and one of those is allowing our lives to be dominated by what other people think.  We live in a world where crowds of people align on either side of any issue, yelling things at us to believe…and in the middle of the mayhem, the…

When life gets tough, when it seems like everyone and everything is against us, and it seems like God’s promise isn’t working in our life, we have to look one place…our soul.  When we decide to follow Jesus, our spirit gets totally created, but our soul…that is saved progressively, day by day.  Until it’s whole,…

God wants to reveal Himself to His people…but, we have to have the ability to handle that revelation in us.  The most important and the most loving thing the Father does for us is train us to walk with Him, teaching us to respond to life in the way He designed and helping us become…

The Bible repeatedly tells us that God wants us to experience increase in our lives, but that increase requires our participation…nearly every promise of God does.  What God has established as both physical and spiritual law in our lives is that life reproduces after it’s own pattern.  What we so, we most definitely will reap,…

All of us are lost without Jesus.  Not just eternally, but in our everyday lives as wander around, trying to figure out where we are supposed to go and what we are supposed to do.  Fortunately, Solomon gives us the clear way to connect with the One who not only wrote the chapters for the…

It would so cool if favor just happened in our life because we asked for it.  Solomon knew that God’s favor is the result of our own choices…and specifically how we respond to other people in our lives.  As we intentionally add three powerful attributes to how we live, we will find favor, with God…

Jesus has left us with a massive assignment: to complete the work He started for our generation.  The exceptional news is that He not only gave us His mission, He has also given us His Name, the Holy Spirit and the Word of God to assist us as we live our lives with His presence…

As Jesus gets closer to the end of His ministry on Earth, His message becomes more and more direct…and the parable that begins in Matthew 22 is a great example of this.  The message is clear.  Not everyone who has been invited to experience a relationship with God will do so. So, let’s accept that…
