An Amazing God
on July 9th, 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 is able to work in ways so far 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 it with H... Read More

Holy By Choice
on July 8th, 2025
Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love. (Hosea 10:12) Your holiness isn't an accident—it's a choice. Every day, you make decisions that move you toward God's holiness or away from it. There are no neutral choices in your spiritual life. Let me ask you something that might sting: Who's setting your moral compass? Your friends? The latest Netflix series? The cultural wind... Read More

Allowing God To Do The Changing
on July 6th, 2025
“As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them as he had come on us at the beginning. Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ So if God gave them the same gift he gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could stand in God’s way?” When they heard this, they had no further objections and...

Aligning Your Plans With God’s Plans
on July 5th, 2025
In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps. (Proverbs 16:9) One of the most amazing things about Jesus is that He sees everything that you are going through right now, and He has all power to direct the next steps of your life.

Aligning With God’s Word
on July 4th, 2025
Nevertheless, I have a few things against you: There are some among you who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to entice the Israelites to sin so that they ate food sacrificed to idols and committed sexual immorality. Likewise, you also have those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans. Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the swo... Read More

But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” – James 4:6 Why do people, when they are confronted, have a difficult time admitting they are wrong? They did something wrong, but they refuse to take any responsibility for their actions. They don’t even want to talk about it. They invariably try to justify why they did it. At the core, the human ... Read More
