Let Go and Let God Have the Wheel
I want to wrap up this week by simply saying, “Quit driving, let God have the wheel!”Look, I’ve talked about this many times before, but God continues to show me time and time again that He is in control, not me. No matter how many times I pray for something to happen or I try and drive a situati...

Look, I get it, we all need to feel a reconnection with God and with people after we have done something wrong or been through a difficult circumstance.

Working Hard Because We Got Grace
We can learn a lot from Paul...“For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

Love Believes the Best: Overcoming Gossip with Grace
I don’t know about you but I’ve got to do better at turning off gossip when I hear it.

It seems as if now days we believe the negative stuff about people more than the positive stu...

Taking Responsibility with God's Grace
You ever feel like you have such a huge load or responsibility you find yourself ducking them or delegating them to someone else? I certainly do.

Compassion in a Divided World: Loving Those Who Oppose
So I’ve been thinking about what is really means to have compassion. I pray nightly that God lays compassion on my heart towards others...specifically those who oppose me.

Grace Not Works: The Foundation of Our Salvation
Ok, so this week we talked about being a good witness for Christ, bearing good fruit and trying to be more like Jesus. All of which we should be doing.

Loving Others: Seeing God's Image in Everyone

Strength in Weakness: When Grace is Enough
Good morning, the treatments are in full effect right now and I’m pretty weak. I find myself crying out to make it go away but I can’t help but to think of Paul and his thorns.

Your True Identity: Adopted Son, Forever Daughter

Overcoming Evil with Good Through Forgiveness
In keeping with forgiveness, nobody ever suggested forgiving would be easy. I certainly didn’t and I’m not saying it is, because it’s not. But God challenges us by giving us the ability to forgive.
