I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
- Psalms 91:2

Who has the time to stay put in our fast-paced society? In order to be productive, Jesus commands us to: “ Abide in Me, and I in you” John 15:4

Luke 15:11-32 is the narrative of the Prodigal Son. God runs to me when I return to Him. He doesn’t sit there waiting for me to journey back to Him. He doesn’t slowly meander my way. He runs swiftly and embraces me.

Think of the person you love the most. What would you be willing to do for that person? Would you give them your favorite t-shirt?
Satan Doesn’t Want You to Know Yourself Satan tries to distract you from getting to know yourself. If you truly knew yourself, you’d know God.
The Word of God invites readers to explore the character of God. By investigating God, we may also learn about our own character. We’re to
The Day of Judgment will not be like final exams. No one will miss heaven by just a whisker. When God examines our life, its
Perhaps we all have an Achilles heel. Many people in our society have little or no confidence in themselves and don’t experience or understand their
You feel the pressure rising. Your teachers expect straight A’s, your youth pastor expects you to be at church every week, your parents expect you to act with respect and your coach expects you to play your best. Everyone has such high expectations from you, it seems impossible to keep up.
“The world often times has greater expectations of the church than the church has for itself.” If this is the case, then the church body (the body of believers) is failing the world. Not because we’re hypocrites, conservative or split on the topic of homosexuality, but because the world is looking for a Savior and we’re not giving Him to them. As the Church, we know the only Savior is Jesus. The world wants a Savior, they’re being drawn to the Savior, they need a Savior and we’re hiding Him from them.
We all experience a time in our lives when we doubt our abilities, talents and gifts. We don’t see what we’re capable of and only
I was really looking forward to connecting with a dear friend over coffee. It had been months since we both had the time to connect. A lot had happened in my life and tons had occurred in her life and neither of us could wait to share. So, we met for coffee and rather than jumping into conversation, we just sat there in silence. Seriously, neither one of us said a thing for a long time.
Moments of weakness are inevitable. Whether physical, emotional or spiritual, weakness is simply part of being human. The question, then, is not whether we’ll experience these moments, but rather what we’ll do in times of weakness.
One of our major goals as teenagers is to gain independence. To do this, we have to learn responsibility and realize what it means to care for ourselves. We are not meant to be independent, but rather we are supposed to be mature.
Where are You God? Everyone has cried out to God, only to receive silence. The reason for God’s quietness is different for every story, situation and person. In the Psalms, King David experiences similar silence, but his reaction can teach us how we should proceed when we don’t hear God answer.
As Christians, when we set our own selfish ambition aside and ask God to rule our lives, our character begins to emulate that of Jesus Christ. Through the Holy Spirit, we become more like Him and less like our self. One of the most obvious ways to see this change in our lives is to look at the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).
There are many things to look forward to in the spring, and one of them is Easter.
Technology has made it easy to adjust a little here and a little there allowing each individual to have the “body they’ve always dreamed of.” People then turn around and talk about how liberating it is to finally see themselves the way they’ve always wanted to be seen. My question is, how can it be liberating to live a lie?
Colossians 3:12 says, “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” What does it mean to clothe yourself with the fruit of the Holy Spirit?
This is your one and only ambition, not just one of your many ambitions. Society encourages you to have a laundry list of seemingly impossible dreams, goals and ambitions. But, according to the scripture in 1 Thessalonians, you ought to have one ambition. Now it’s easy to assume that this ambition spoken of is to follow God with all your heart, but actually, this ambition guides you into how you should follow God.
We all have the drive to pursue something. We tend to pursue things we find pleasure in or enjoy. Though, many things are pleasurable, few are satisfying. The Lord, however, tells us to pursue love.
The New Testament is the story or Jesus’ life here on Earth, but He exists from the very first book of the Bible. Prophesy of His coming is sprinkled all over the Old Testament.
Someone who is filled with the Holy Spirit has a peaceful countenance and a measured, calm way of doing things.
The Bible shows us that our God is one, and yet three persons: the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit: a Trinity. The most controversial Person in the Trinity is the Holy Spirit, who has this quality of invisibility that challenges our human comprehension.
