"The greater our understanding and fear of God's wrath, the greater our understanding and appreciation of God's mercy and love in sending Christ to redeem us." -Bill Daily

Following Jesus requires surrendering what we cannot keep to gain what we cannot lose.

Righteousness isn't found in ourselves. We are "justified" or declared righteous by God based on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross. It is only by God's grace through faith in Jesus that we are saved.

Our faith is strengthened when we persevere in prayer, trusting that God hears and will answer in His timing and in His way.

When life is unclear, we can seek God's will with humility and hope.

When you feel overwhelmed, God is not far - He's your refuge, your listener, and your deliverer.

When life gets hard, when people are unjust, and when evil feels overwhelming - God is still your help.

God sees, knows, and loves us personally - even in our darkest thoughts or moments.

The Holy Spirit is our God Positioning Spirit. He already knows where we are spiritually, and He knows when we have wandered off and have turned away from God. And He knows precisely how to get us back on the right path to God who is already waiting for us.

True preparedness for Jesus' return begins in the heart, shapes how we live each day, and requires letting go of anything that keeps us from fully following Jesus.
