Do not let sin have power over you…let good have power over sin! When we tune our listening ear to the guidance that the Lord offers, we gain the ability to stand for what is right while maintaining a winsome posture that builds bridges and wins hearts and minds to the ways of Jesus Christ. […]

We’ve been on the receiving end of Christ’s gentleness more than we can ever know. How do we pass that on to others in our lives? In our traumatized and untamed, undisciplined souls, do we let His gentle nature quietly shape us and draw us to His side? 13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called […]

When we experience God’s kindness, it changes our lives. And because He has been kind to us, we are to extend that same kindness and mercy to others. And when we don’t, we err. Grievously. But when we act in kindness, we unlock the full force of God’s goodness, poured out in lavish abundance… 13 You, […]

As followers of Jesus Christ, we’re supposed to be different. To love differently. Not in some superior fashion, but in humility, like prisoners who know just how much it took to set us free. Because of that radical freeing experience, there’s a love that rises up in us and pours out onto those with whom […]

Who do you serve? Who do you trust? What are you known for? Whom are you known for? How crazy are you ready to be? 14 “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.2 There is more than enough room in my Father’s home.[a] If this were not so, would I […]

What are you riding in life that is not taking you where you want to go? Your life plans? Your career? Your family connections? A political party? How do you react when that “ride” doesn’t do what you want or expect? What does it take for you to get off your animal and recognize that […]
