It's almost Christmas! Do you wish you had more time? For gift buying? Time with family, friends? How about with Jesus? Today Scott shares how grateful he is that God took the time to send Jesus to be our Savior of the world. Isaiah 9:6

Are you silently criticizing others, list all the ways you think they need to change? What if we humbly took that same list of criticisms and gently applied them to ourselves? Others may "verbally" criticize us but in our thoughts we are just as abusive. The same attitude we have towards each other exists in both of us.We just manifest it differently. Lets be reminded today how precious everyone is to God and that we all want these same things. Ephesians 4:29

Jesus has a family tree that is far from perfect! History shows that God used imperfect people in His family to accomplish His will. He does the same thing in our families today! In this podcast we discuss why when it comes to God working His will in our life, that He is more concerned with the attitudes of our hearts than with the mistakes we have made. Matthew 1:1-16

The "gift" of encouragement is so rare. We emphasize gift because we believe it really is that, a gift. Do you need it to keep at it? Who doesn’t? So keep it simple. Tell God about it! Unlike people who aren't always available, God is! When you are weak go to Him in prayer. He is stable and available and the one who encourages and empowers you to keep going when you don't think you can. Colossians 4:2-3

The holidays are in full swing and we love it!! It's also time to be with those we love and those we only see this time of year. We discuss how to turn from judging others on their outward actions and appearance to seeing and appreciating who they are on the inside. Luke 9:28-36

Jesus accepts you just as you are! Unlike the beautiful Christmas cards depict, Jesus' manger scene was hardly idyllic for His royal presence to enter the world. It was mostly cold, dirty and hollow like our lives and your life can be. He doesn't always like the choices we make but that won't stop Him from entering our world either. Get a fresh understanding today that God REALLY does love and accept you just as you are! Inspired by Like 2:6-7

Unforgiveness is wishing for a different past. The past is something you are powerless to change. Forgiveness, however, is a wonderful gift to give and when you remember that if you have been forgiven and that hurting people hurt people, forgiveness is much easier "return." So today learn about The Lord's healing love for your wounds and forgiveness of your past, so you can forgive others, forget mistakes and avoid losing the ones you love. Inspired by Luke 23:34

Being PErfeCt isn't possible but doing your best is! Today we want to remind you that not only is God's grace your greatest gift but the best relief from the unrealistic expectations you put on yourself to be perfect. Romans 12:1-5 and Micah 6:6-8

When you do your part of living according to Psalm 34:12-13 you can have faith to have a long life. A good life. A happy life. The virtue described in these verses is accompanied by such promises.

ONCE you experience inner peace with God, yourself, and everybody else you'll be pleasantly surprised how natural it is to stay spiritually disciplined and committed to walking with The Lord and to desire to serve others.

I Timothy 1:18-19
