Trust God’s Plan
on May 2nd, 2025
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. (2 Corinthians 1:3-5) ... Read More

Seek God First
on May 1st, 2025
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. (Matthew 6:33) In God’s perfect timing, He will use every detail of your life for His Glory. Anything you have gone through, God can use. You can say, “I'm so broken. I'm so ruined. I'm so damaged.” That doesn’t mean God can’t redeem you. Do you feel like damaged goods? Is there something you ... Read More

God Can Use You

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:20-21) If we are followers of Jesus, we have a desire for God to use us. We want our lives to count for something, and we want to take part in the growth and e... Read More

Breaking Through Self-Absorption
on April 29th, 2025
"Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness." (Psalm 150:1-2) Have you ever caught yourself thinking more about how you look during worship than about who you're worshiping? I sure have. Last Sunday, I was leading worship and caught myself wondering if people noticed the new guitar I was ... Read More

Come and See
on April 28th, 2025
“Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip. – John 1:46When Jesus called Philip, he followed—and then immediately went to his friend Nathanael. He said, “We have found the one Moses wrote about… Jesus of Nazareth.” Nathanael responded skeptically, “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” But Philip didn’t argue. He simply said, “Come and see.... Read More

The Power of Your Platform
on April 27th, 2025
Look, the Lamb of God! – John 1:36John the Baptist was a teacher and prophet who helped cast a vision that swept across Israel. He preached a message of repentance and prepared the way for Jesus. When he saw Jesus, he pointed others to Him by simply saying, “Look, the Lamb of God!” Two of his disciples heard this and began to follow Jesus.You may think, “I’m no spiritual teacher.” But if someone l...

Patient Endurance
on April 26th, 2025
This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus. (Revelation 14:12) In other words, don't give up, walk on, and trust God and His timing. All of “God's saints need to be patiently enduring.” As believers, we are called to trust God, even when we don't understand it. Do you see God doing things that you don’t understand? Does i...

Steps and Stops
on April 25th, 2025
The steps of a godly man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. (Psalm 37:23) I love the story of A.T. Pearson, who was a great preacher of yesteryear. He had the privilege of opening the Bible of George Mueller, a great man of faith. In the early days of our country, Pearson raised millions of dollars to underwrite the care of orphans in his care. When Pearson opened the Bi... Read More

An Amazing God
on April 24th, 2025
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. (Ephesians 3:20) This is one of my all-time favorite verses in Scripture, because it reminds me how God works in ways above and beyond what my human mind can comprehend. Anything we could think up, dream up, or make up in our heads; He can surpass with His goodness and His g... Read More

Giving God’s Way
on April 23rd, 2025
“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (Luke 6:38) Our giving to God should be described in several different phrases: From your heart, of your resources, through the church, to the Lord. There are many Scripture verses to support those phrases of ... Read More

The Power You Haven't Tapped
on April 22nd, 2025
"For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body -- whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free -- and we were all given the one Spirit to drink." (1 Corinthians 12:13) Have you ever felt that disconnect between what you want God to do in your life and what's actually happening? I know I have. Just last week, I was fishing out on the lake, and my line kept getting tangled. No matter how carefully I... Read More

A Call to Prayer
on April 21st, 2025
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. – 2 Chronicles 7:14 I like what Andrew Murray, a great prayer warrior of yesteryear, said: “Prayer is not so much getting from God. Rather, it is getting into the flow of where God is going.” ... Read More
