July 10, 2016 Shockproof
Have you ever heard the saying that bitterness is like taking poison and waitingfor the other person to die? It sounds crazy, doesn't it? But it's true. The problem with bitterness is it grows and it controls and it consumes. Bitterness doesn't hurt anyone else more than it does the one who harbors it in his heart. Learn how to let go of bitterness and give the same gift of forgiveness to someone else, that God has so freely given to you.

Many of us go years, decades even, holding a grudge against someone who hurt us deeply. Maybe that person is aware of the damage they've done to the relationship, or maybe the only way they will ever know is if you confront them - in love.

June 26, 2016 Planting Your Feet
Sometimes it's really difficult to lose the guilt we feel when we're at fault and have hurt others deeply. Guilt isn't from God; it's from Satan. If you've done all that God outlined in His Word to receive forgiveness from Him, and to make things right with the people you have wronged, even if they are unable to find it their hearts to forgive you, you can still walk free from guilt and shame.

June 19, 2016 Seismic Shift
When we take responsibility for our sin and the destruction it brings to our relationships, there's more to the process of making things right than merely confessing to God and the person we've wronged. The next step can be the hardest one of all--true repentance. Repentance is more than saying you're sorry—it's turning from the sin that caused the fracture in your relationship to begin with. Turn to God and away from your sin today.

June 12, 2016 Confession: Start at the Epicenter
When we sin against another person, it's easy to take the path of least resistance, and just hide from the situation altogether. But that never solves anything. On top of that, we're often left with paralyzing guilt no matter how hard we try to pretend everything is fine. Don't sweep things under the rug. Learn the steps that God outlines in His Word to restore your fellowship with Him and others.

May 08, 2016 Wonder Woman
If you’ve ever read Proverbs 31 and felt like a failure as a wife or mother, you missed the greatest lesson found in these verses.  The Proverbs 31 woman doesn’t represent some unreachable goal.  She represents all that a woman can become through the grace of God.  Not only does she have the highest qualities a woman can possess, she is an overwhelming success in every area of life – personally, relationally, professionally, and domestically.

April 24, 2016 Who Cares?
The devil doesn't care whether we are consumed with problems or sailing down easy street-- as long as he can keep us so focused on our own lives, that we become oblivious to what's going on in the lives of others. It's easy to forget that there's a world of people out there who may have never heard that God loves them...that their lives and circumstances matter to Him. The greatest gift we can give is the greatest one we've already received.

March 20, 2016 A Person of Influence
Following Jesus is a two-step process. Of course the first step is to accept Him as Savior. We can't just stay in that safe place of salvation -- knowing we are going to Heaven. The Great Commission mandates that we make disciples-- "disciplined ones", develop a relationship with our Heavenly Father and learn to hear and obey Him.

March 13, 2016 Towel Off
Every time the disciples thought they had Jesus figured out, He threw them a curve ball. Even though they had been with Him almost every waking hour for three years, they were still discovering how much more there was to learn during His final days on Earth. They gave their lives to follow Him and to lead others to Him. Imagine their amazement to learn that the Son of God had not come to be served...but to serve!

March 06, 2016 Simple Connection
When was the last time you really listened to someone? When a person begins to speak to you, do you instantly think of all the other things you could be doing? Or, are you afraid that you may be asked to do something that costs you time or other resources. Aside from your relationship with God, connecting with people is your greatest purpose. Learn to see people the way Jesus sees them.
