Just as in nature, there are natural seasons in ministry. With each change, doors will close but others open. 

Choosing to follow Christ doesn't mean we throw away the rulebook, it just means we live according to God's rules out of love him and by the righteousness we receive through grace in faith.

It is a fact that Christians sin. It is also a reality that by confession they find forgiveness and repair to the broken soul. 

Sometimes leaving a place isn't about pain but about peace, and that peace comes from God to let you know it's time to go.

In Christ, we are the lights of the world. What does that mean? What does it look like? What reaction does it bring?

Don't let your brokenness stop you from letting Jesus use you for his purposes. Bring him the pieces, and he'll make them whole.

We need rest and rejuvenation to keep moving forward in ministry. Jesus tells us how to find it.

Salt always gets a reaction. As Christ-followers, may our flavor lead others to taste and see that the Lord is good.

Why do Christians have to keep confessing sins? Because we're still a work in progress on this earth. Christ's work is done, but we still have to keep our slate clean through confession in order for him to have full reign and glory in our lives.

Birthdays can be times when the blues set in, even for parents of children serving overseas. Don't let the blues deter your celebration no matter how insignificant you think it might be.
