The Bible is full of people groups and societies which we can learn from through the study of Scripture. Through Canaan, we are reminded of the danger of having idols and the importance of keeping God genuinely first and foremost in our lives. We...

God’s timing is better than our planning, but it’s extremely hard to loosen the grip of control we have on our schedules and our people, and the fear of what in the wide world of chaos is coming next.

The way we live our everyday lives exposes what we value. Values are principles we live by; they influence the way we act and how we perceive the world around us. God’s call on our lives is to value Him above all else. Scripture is full of rich...

God’s will is unstoppable. The adventure of our lives is following Christ in pursuit of Him, discovering purpose and growing closer to Him along the way.  “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans to prosper you and...

The Pharisees had drifted into hundreds of laws which were not from God. Jesus arrived on the scene and simply requested, “follow me.” When we live our lives within the love of Christ, the change in us is promised to be remarkable. Slowly, day by...

Though we live in a tumultuous time, so did Luther. It didn’t stop him from seeking Christ first and putting God at the center. Now is our time. We’ve been set in this generation, purposefully, to proverbially nail our own declaration of faith to...

The power of the Holy Spirit in the lives of Christ followers is a supernatural ability to notice and do things we would never notice or do outside of life within the love of Jesus. When we yield to the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, really...

When we remember the way He cares for the sparrows, we can conclude He cares about our pets, too. We can pray for our dogs, trust that God cares for them infinitely more than we do, and exponentially more for us than our dogs!

There’s a lot to be said about our time, and how we are willing to spend it. God is purposeful, layering opportunities into each day of our lives for us to seize and embrace — things which He knows will bring joy to our hearts and peace to our...

God is our ultimate Healer. We can run freely to Him with all of our needs and know He hears our prayers and understands our pain.

When we are searching for the words and ways in which to pray to God, we can look to Jesus Christ. He is our living example, in all things, as we walk through our lives on this earth. As we faithfully look to Him, these verses Luke recorded in His...

“He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing” (1 Thessalonians 5:10-11).Life within the love of Christ is filled with...

"A voice came from the cloud, saying, ‘This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him’” (Luke 9:35).The human ear is exposed to 20-30,000 words in a day. We may not be able to control everything we hear, but we do get to decide what we listen...

“Our Father in heaven,hallowed be your name.Your kingdom come,your will be done,on earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread,and forgive us our debts,as we also have forgiven our debtors.And lead us not into temptation,but deliver...

Re-starting can be a fresh start, but sometimes starting over isn’t the path we choose for ourselves. There are times in life when God redirects our attention in a direction we did not plan to, and might not want to, obediently go. In those...

“Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in Him” (Psalm 62:5).Quiet moments are worth fighting for. Cutting across the water at sunset, the lake like glass and the sky bursting into its finale of color, brings the sovereignty of...

Each day, we wake with a schedule, a calendar, and a plan. But only God knows what each day will bring. When the bottom falls out of our day, our plan, our schedule, and our calendar …who do we run to? How do we react? The way we daily prepare and...

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” (Matthew...

If we are searching for deep faith, our answer lies on the fringes of belonging. In serving them, we fill our own souls with the depth of what it means to follow Christ. To know Him is to pursue the people who do not belong. The rejected, the...

God’s love is constant, though it may feel different to us in different seasons.
